CONTINENTAL AIRLINES is to expand its mobile boarding pass service to its Heathrow T4 operation, becoming the first carrier to offer paperless boarding passes for non-stop US flights. Customers can receive their boarding passes electronically on their mobile phones or personal digital assistants (PDAs). Also available is the latest flight information and any special news including up to date standby lists and status. Continental was the first carrier to offer paperless boarding passes in the US in a pilot programme with the Transportation Security Administration that began in December 2007. The airline currently offers mobile boarding passes at 42 airports, including its hubs in Cleveland, Houston and New York. www.continental.com
