Sorry for the late reply, as others mentioned, either print at home, hotel, or at self check in kiosks at the airport. I’m irrationally paranoid about something happening to my phone whenever I need it for things beyond basic dumb phone use.
The worldwide outage caused by the faulty security update (last year?) happened while I was in the air and nearly disrupted my trip. I was flying from Japan back to my mom’s hometown in Thailand and had one more connection in Bangkok. The gate attendants were only letting people on the connecting flight with printed boarding passes.
Lol, because printers is basically hunter gatherer territory. I just think printing digital information is wasteful. I don’t even see elderly people doing it any more. That’s why I’m curious. It seems harder, not easier these days.
It’s really easy for me to save my boarding pass. One button. No paper James, no ink, no networking issues. Each method works fine, almost all the time. One just is more wasteful and easier to lose or damage.
I’ve never been to an airport without wifi in the day of digital passes.
I always get printed boarding passes for domestic flights.
How and why?

Own a printer and because relying on technology is for suckers.

It’s really easy for me to print something. One button. And then I don’t have to fight a spotty 4g connection to load a barcode.

Right, also, access your pass and screen shot it, then its in your camera roll and not locked away behind logins, networking, and data blackouts
