This was new to me, probably because I missed it before and because I don’t travel as much as I used to. Alaska Airlines has added seven cities to it’s mobile boarding pass options. As Everything Long Beach reported yesterday: “Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air’s electronic boarding pass and optimized mobile Web site meet the needs of today’s high-tech traveler, ” said Steve Jarvis, Alaska Airlines’ vice president of marketing, sales and customer experience. “Starting today, our customers can expedite the airport check-in process even more and get from curbside to planeside in record time.”

So there we are…which makes me wonder about other paper oriented service options that will pop up as mobile instead? With a quick Google search, I pulled up several interesting paperless services that are intriguing. I found Zumbox (a paperless postal service,) Fandango will soon offer tickets on the iPhone, and of course Starbucks has the Starbucks card iPhone app. Many others are on the way, and there are many that I haven’t found yet. How about you? Found any apps that ditch paper>
