SAS Smart Pass

SAS Smart Pass

Following successful trials, SAS plans to launch an SAS Smart Pass in the fall, which will enable EuroBonus Gold members to breeze through airports in Scandinavia. The new pass is a NFC (near field communication) sticker that is placed on the back of a mobile phone and acts as a wireless transmitter. It can be used to hold personal data and can communicate at participating NFC-enabled stores at the airport–EuroBonus members can simply swipe the pass over a reader to purchase items.

They can also use the pass at self-service check-in kiosks, airport lounges and to fast-track through security. Airport gates will also have NFC readers.
