Last week, Kuwait Airways launched the Electronic Boarding Pass feature, but oddly, not for Kuwait. It’s pretty strange, I thought it might be because the immigration department needed a physical boarding pass to stamp, but even if you’re just transiting, Kuwait Airways is requiring a physical pass.
On the bright side, it does mean I can now fly out of Dubai a lot more conveniently. One of the disadvantages of flying with Kuwait Airways over Emirates was the fact I had to wait in a queue at the Kuwait Airways check-in desk to get my boarding pass. Now I can just get the digital one when I check in online and then zip through the E-gate as soon as I get to the airport. No waiting in line to check in, and no waiting in line for immigration.

I accessed this from FB, because they are not showing on the 248am site directly.
are you on ooredoo?
No I`m accessing from Sri Lanka
Does anyone know why Online check-in doesn’t work in Kuwait. It seems like it might be a government issue, where they don’t want us to check in online.
Is Emirates still having the electronic boarding pass feature? Haven’t flown on EK for over 3 years but I see all websites related to their mobile app boarding pass simply say “will be back soon”.
I know, QR has a fully functional boarding pass available on Apple Wallet, so does Saudia and Oman, in terms of GCC Carriers.
I’ve been using the Emirates e pass for years but only works outside kuwait
Civil aviation is currently in discussions with MOI to launch the Electronic Boarding Pass in KWI hopefully before year end.
