can someone answer this question for me??

Ditzydori — Tue, 29 Jul 2014 23:08:47 GMT

I'm a dinosaur so I don't have a printer or fax machine in my home. Just laptop. Here is my question.

I booked a vacation on the internet, and now I have to print the boarding passes. Where can I go to easily print them from my email. I was thinking the local library or Staples. Which one would be best, or do any of you have any other ideas?

Your opinions will be very greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When is your trip? Do you have time to buy a printer?

call staples or the library and ask. Can't you print them out at a kiosk at the airport? I have no idea, I don't pay attention....I just follow my hubby....lol.

Library or a place like Kinkos or Staples would be fine.

We've printed materials at Kinko's before when we've been on the road.

Some airlines allow you to use a mobile boarding pass from your smartphone.

Go to a neighbor or friend's house and ask to have the use of the printer to print them out ahead of time. Lots of time due to traffic, you may not have enough time to stand on a line to print out the boarding pass at the airport. Some boarding passes also contain seat choices so the more popular seats fill up faster than if you wait till you are ready to board.

I don't have a printer at home either, so most of the time I print things at my local library.

You should be able to print them at the airport. I always check-in online and then print my boarding passes at the airport. You can call your airline to make sure, but I have never had a problem doing this and I fly dozens of times per year. They do recognize that everyone may not have access to a printer. The most important thing is to get checked in.

I go to the library when I rarely need something printed. I gave my printer to my grandkids for school work. Threw my fax machine away. My library charges 10 cents a copy.

You can buy a printer for under a hundred dollars. If you use it to print out coupons you will recover the money in no time.

Yes, I agree with hennypenny.

Didn't QVC just have one for like $70 as a TSV recently?

Got any friends that have internet access and are closer to ""the times""/that have a printer?

I would check in online and print them at the airport. I know I get stressed that last day before a trip and try to avoid extra run around.

I found out I didn't even need a printed boarding pass. I forgot it and the skycap just looked it up on his computer. Southwest Airlines.

most of the time i print one at home AND get a second one when i am at the skycap desk checking in my luggage. that way, i dont worry if i happen to lose one.....i have a spare!

you can buy a printer for as low as 29.00 with free in store pick up at walmart OR 4.97 to ship OR free shipping with 50.00 purchase.....
