Flying for the first time tomorrow, is a physical boarding pass required or is the app enough?
I am flying for the first time tomorrow, and one of my many many worries is regarding the boarding pass. I am flying with SAS and I have checked in on the SAS APP. It then shows me a boarding pass with a little QR code on it. My questions: Is this enough to complete my journey, or do I need to print something off or go to a desk at the airport? If I have checked in and have my boarding pass (via the app) do I just need to head straight to security once I arrive at the airport (I have no luggage)?
Apologies if this has been answered before. I'm so confused and worrying a little because I'll be running on a very tight schedule.
Thank you all

The QR code should be enough. However, make sure your device has sufficient battery charge left to last until after you board the plane (for that reason alone, I nearly always print a physical copy as well).

Do I need to print my boarding pass if I checked in online?
13) Do I need to print my boarding pass if I check in online? Yes, you'll need to print each boarding pass clearly on an individual piece of A4 paper. The barcode on the pass will need to be scanned at the airport, so the page mustn't have any rips or tears.Do I need to print a boarding pass if I have it on my phone?
Yes, your mobile boarding pass can be used to proceed through security checkpoint to board your flight. Simply show your mobile boarding pass on a mobile phone, iPad or Apple Watch and a valid form of identification to the TSA Agent at security to proceed.How do I get my boarding pass on my phone?

If you check in at the airport, you may print your boarding pass from a self-service kiosk near check-in, or an airline representative can print one for you at the check-in counter. If you lose your pre-printed boarding pass or misplace the link, you can reprint your boarding pass when you get to the airport.FLYING FOR THE FIRST TIME?
