No 'printer friendly' option to print boarding pass at Easyjet

Even printing in black and white it's still a lot of ink. I think it's ridiculous that they don't have a printer friendly option!

The advertising you're printing out is helping to subsidise your ticket price. You might save 5-10p per passenger per leg in ink with a printer-friendly boarding pass, but the reduced advertising revenue would probably push the ticket price up a bit.

Many airlines now have the option to put the boarding pass on a phone app if you don't want to print it out. Or download something like PDF Exchange (free) and draw white boxes over the adverts before printing.

If you've got windows 7 or above, snipping tool is a great one. Just snip the pass out and stick it into a blank word document, avoiding the adverts.

Alternatively the easyJet app can keep your pass on your phone.

Hadn't thought about it like that - good point.

I should use the app but I always worry it won't load at the point when I need it!

Given the revenue generated from advertisers (based on the number of times you look at your boarding pass when you're in the airport/on your journey) they're more likely to spread the necessary parts of the boarding pass across pages than remove the ads. They've already lost revenue from all those that use mobile boarding passes)

Print it in black and white only and use draft mode, which most printers have.

These days the app seems reliable, unlike the early versions when the boarding pass often evaporated between security and the boarding gate. But as long as you are checked in, if it does fail they can write you a paper pass. I was once ushered aboard personally by gate staff when they had run out of paper blanks, but now they no longer check the boarding pass on entering the aircraft, anyway.

Once you're checked in on the app, take a screenshot of the boarding pass. Then you don't need the app or an internet connection. You just need your phone to have power and you can go into photo album.

Or if its an iPhone you can add it to passbook which is pretty much the same.
