any frequant flyers

Since it seems you haven't flown in a very long time, you'd best brush up on TSA regulations long before getting to the airport. You don't want to be "that guy" holding up security lines. You need your boarding pass and an approved ID (passport or an approved drivers license) simply to get into the TSA area. Without the TSA approved ID you aren't getting into the boarding area much less getting on a plane.

I'm sorry what are you talking about? All I need is my drivers license and a boarding pass.

AZ drivers license is good for TSA ID until May 7, 2025. I didn't realize that the REAL ID requirement was kicked down the road another couple years. Sorry about that confusion. I use my passport for airport ID purposes.

Sorry about my confusion as to what phone you have.

Android uses Google Pay to store tickets like Apple Wallet, and if you don't want to get that, and you don't have a printer, then you are stuck with downloading the application for the specific airline, which usually stores tickets under My Tickets, My Trips, Boarding Passes, etc, something like that, depending on the airline. You can always check in on line, and then go to the airport a few minutes early and use the vending machines, kiosks to print a physical boarding pass.

Not all airlines, at least not in Canada. We fly mainly Westjet and as I said earlier, just check in online and save your boarding pass as a PDF if you don't want to print it. No need for any apps, just do it from the airline website.

Actually Westjet has both an Android and Apple application.
