E-Boarding Pass is currently offered on non-stop flights from Indianapolis, IN and Detroit, MI during check-in on nwa.com. If you are departing from IND or DTW you must be checking in as a single passenger on a Northwest operated non-stop flight within the United States.

E-Boarding Pass can be used on hundreds of mobile phones and PDAs, and with the following service providers: AT&T US, Alltel US, Sprint US, T-Mobile US, and Verizon US.

Certain devices will not be available for E-Boarding Pass. This applies to devices where the screen is too small to correctly format the barcode.

If a different model is selected, the E-Boarding Pass will still be sent. However, it may not be optimized, and there is an increased chance that the barcode will not be correctly scanned.

The E-Boarding Pass is sent to either an e-mail address or mobile phone number in the form of an e-mail, WAP push/link or MMS message.

During check-in on nwa.com you will have the option to select an E-Boarding Pass, and at this time you will be prompted to input your service provider, handset make, and handset model.

Your E-Boarding Pass will be sent after you complete check-in.

Yes, if you do not receive your E-Boarding Pass, you can check in at nwa.com again and request another E-Boarding Pass be sent.

You should have the barcode image available on the screen of your device when approaching the security checkpoint or boarding gate. Please ensure the entire barcode is visible on the screen of your device and make certain the backlight is on when the barcode is being scanned. You should also have a valid government issued photo ID available for inspection at the Security Checkpoint.

If you are using an E-Boarding pass and checking luggage simply use the Self-service Check-in Kiosk at the airport to check luggage.  Please have your valid government issued photo ID as well as the barcode image on the screen of your device available for the ticket agent to verify before proceeding to the security checkpoint with your E-Boarding Pass. A new E-Boarding Pass will not be sent.

When you are cleared off the Passenger Processing List in First Class, your E-Boarding Pass in Coach will be exchanged for a paper boarding pass in First Class, and you will board using the paper boarding pass. If you are not cleared in First Class, you will board with your original E-Boarding Pass.
