Beware: Do NOT Post Your Borading Pass Online!

Stop it! For your own sake. Your boarding pass to India, holds some crucial piece of information that is hidden to plain sight. However, it could be misused by those who have the (in)sight. You never know, when your simple picture upload on social media, to share your joy of a dream trip, may end into a nightmare. So beware of the notorious elements out there and change your habit of sharing and oversharing everything including your cheap flight tickets to India from the USA on public platforms, especially the pictures of your boarding pass.

What all does that picture contain?

The QR codes and barcodes on the boarding pass  and flight ticket bookings to India from the USA have a lot of information in them, which should not be going into wrong hands. You’d be surprised to know, that a simple access to a picture of your boarding pass, is all one needs to de-code all the crucial data instantly. There are sites that do it for them. One doesn’t even need to be, himself a genius for it.

From the name, to the frequent flyer number’, one can even access the record locator (record key) to know all the details of your flight tickets. And yes, with all that access to your entire account is a cakewalk and manage it, on the airline website, with which you are flying, wouldn’t be difficult at all.

Besides all this, your personally identifiable information (PII) like name, telephone number, passport number, ID number, and in a few cases, even your Credit Card details could all get revealed.

Power to Flight cancellations, flight bookings, all comes in the hands of a person you don’t know. Worse still, you may not even know when it’s happening until too late.

Another important advice, experts give is, that once your flight is over and you don’t need the boarding pass any longer, don’t just save it as a memory. Destroy it! And make note of – ‘destroy the boarding pass rather than just dumping it in a trash can.’

To be a smart traveler, just don’t have to have the skills of finding the best deals and cheapest flight tickets; and no it’s not even enough to pack smart, have all the research done to make your itinerary; securing your documents and taking safety precautions to guard your privacy is equally critical.
