WP8 won't open my mobile boarding pass

[JSW2624]

Hi All,

Just looking for a nudge in the right direction. I can have Delta send me a link to a mobile boarding pass via text or e-mail. The problem is when I click on the link in the text it will not open. It said I need to install UCBrower, so I did and still no mobile boarding pass. This feature worked fine when I had a phone from the Borg, and it's truly one of the last things that is frustrating me on my switch to WP8.

HELP!

I had a similar experience with Air Canada but I gave it a try the next day and all was fine. I had time to do that by the way.

Far as I know there's no reason why it shouldn't work with WP.

My answer doesn't address the emailed boarding pass, and since you didn't say what format it's in (and I don't know), I can't help you there, but since you're flying Delta, have you tried their app?

I do have their app, and it works great. No boarding passes in-app tho. The either text or e-mail them to you. Not sure of the format, it's a link to: Error left out the last part because there is personal data on the pass.

Really? It says it will do boarding passes in the description, and even has a screenshot. If it doesn't, they need to update their store listing....

I'd bet that's a cut-and-paste from their other OS apps. I even updated on my trip to LA last week and while it added some cool stuff no boarding passes.

Ok, now that I've read a few of the reviews, it sounds like they just need to pull the app.

Fixed my issue by changing my IE preferences to use the desktop version. I didn't even know they had 2 IE version you could choose......... settings> applications> internet explorer and change your preference there.

Slightly off topic, every time I'm at the airport security checkpoint, there is always one or two passengers hold up the lines because of their mobile boarding pass on iPhone won't get recognized by the scanners. They have to spent couple minutes to keep retrying and even switch to different scanner. I made a note to myself to NEVER use a mobile boarding pass.

Never had 1 problem in over 100 flights with my iPhone.......that being said I have seen plenty of issues, and it was normally some dumbarse who didn't have it ready to be read when it was their turn.

Maybe save the bar code/QR image file then send just the image to your phone. I just open up the email and the scanner at the airport picks it up. Strange.

I've used the Fly Delta app quite a few times and I don't recall it showing a boarding pass necessarily, but it does have a QR code that they scan.
