This, except I'm not a frequent flier.

I was wondering exactly the same thing: are boarding passes really _so opaque_ that they require significant redesign?

In fact, I don't even find boarding passes to be ugly. Or pretty. Or anything, really. They just /are./ I usually print my boarding pass at home and fold it into a little square and put it in my pocket.

If you want to redesign the inefficiencies of air travel I think boarding pass redesign comes at the very bottom of a very long list.
