You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Thanks for the Vonage info, everyone.

OK, question, hope someone can help me:

So, I need a copy of a boarding pass. I checked in online. This was last week. I think I threw out the paper copy (after the flight!). Is there any way the page is stored in my browser (firefox) history? If I try to go there from the "history" file, it just tries to get me a new boarding pass, which clearly doesn't work, at this point. Help?

I'm surprised about that. People's printers sometimes mess up, so the airline always has a way to get another boarding pass. At worst, you'll have to use the kiosk at the airport.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Flight's already past, though. Tech wise, I'd say you're out of luck. I'd call the airline and explain your quandary.

Whoops! Obviously, I didn't read closely enough....

Yeah, flight was last week. I may have to call the airline--it's just annoying. I'm really hoping that maybe I didn't throw out the boarding pass while cleaning, but... GRRR. (They credited me for the flight HOME, just not the flight THERE, WTF?)

Microsoft Corp.'s plan to buy AQuantive Inc. for $6 billion increases the likelihood that the software maker will also buy Yahoo! Inc., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analyst Anthony Noto said today.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Fine. They can just buy everything, then. See what I care.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

meara, call the FF program of the airline. If it was an e-ticket, the paper boarding pass isn't always needed.
