    In 30 years of owning various cell phones and smart phones, I’ve never once broken a single one of them.

    It’s not something I worry about.

    Even still, I also have my iPad that I carry when I travel. I could always use that as well. Or my Apple Watch, which is what I most commonly use.

      I’m happy for you, but all it takes is one time. No reason not to have an extra backup.

        I just described how I have two extra back ups, and yet, it has never happened to me any more than a decade I’ve been using these passes.

        Worst case scenario? The gate agent prints me another one after they look me up in their computer. I know this, because I’ve seen people lose their paper boarding passes, and they had no back up at all. It took them five minutes to get another one.

        I choose not to live in fear of a problem that doesn’t exist.

          You can see it as living in fear, if that’s what helps you, I just see it as being as prepared as I can.

            As I’ve repeatedly mentioned, I am prepared, with redundancies. And since I’ve never needed them, suddenly living in fear that I should just because you say so would be irrational.

            What you’re describing is paranoia. Again, something I avoid.
