Having booked by credit card, put the same credit card (important detail) in the machine and get you card-key out. This is not quite anonymous, but impersonal, and very handy. | |

I suppose if I wanted to cheat the system I could go with my friend and print the boarding passes and give the passes to him; now I risk a whole other set of problems if he is caught - for example, if he is asked for ID by a boarding agent (which they are free to do). | |

| Feb 1, 2016 at 16:02 | comment | added | JonathanReez♦ | if no one saw your ID, what could possibly prevent your friend from taking the same flight? | |
| Feb 1, 2016 at 12:16 | comment | added | Burhan Khalid | They didn't ask for your ID possibly because they already knew who you were. Not asking for an ID is not the same thing as anonymous. I flew Spain - Switzerland - Holland - Germany and no one asked for my ID. This doesn't mean its anonymous. | |
