Wanted to post this when I get the photos of the boarding passes JetStar provides, but decided to post this earlier since it actually doesn't make much difference.

I've taken Jetstar Asia several times, but there is always one thing that never fails to pique my interest (and cause my distaste)--- their unique boarding passes printed on thin and flimsy RECEIPT paper. One apparent reason must be the cost. Well, receipt paper is undoubtedly much more cheaper compared to the thicker paper normal boarding passes are printed on. Definitely cost-saving, but not exactly reputation-saving, unless the reputation they want to uphold revolves primarily around the word “budget”, which may actually be true. And if anyone complains about it, they’ll just answer nonchalantly, “Which part of budget do you not understand?”

[Insert boarding pass picture when I get it]

If boarding passes can be printed on receipt paper, imagine the other possibilities it presents!
Receipt books, called Book Rolls! The next thing you know, Harry Potter books will be printed on receipt paper! Books will be sold in rolls, just like an indispensible item in your life --- the legendary toilet roll! Pocket-size and handy! Good when you’re travelling, and when you’re stuck in a toilet cubicle without toilet paper. All you have to do is unroll the Book Roll when you want to read. You can even borrow the toilet roll holder for a moment for convenience's sake. Ingenious!


Receipt homework! Imagine all your homework, tests and assignments printed on receipts. The best thing about it is… the printing fades over time! So all your pestilent Maths questions, paragraphs of English text and weird Chemistry equations will vaporize into the air soon enough! Moreover, no more school bags filled to the brim with loose sheets of paper, but instead, neat and spiffy rolls of paper!
Not long after the receipt paper take over the publishing industry, your bookshelves will undergo a complete head-to-toe plastic surgery!



BEFORE: Disastrous mess of books, disorderly arrangement, deposited at random places like nobody's business. A big fat NO-NO.



AFTER: Like particles of solids, orderly arrangement. A delight to the eyes of yourself, your mum and your maid.


Nice and spiffy, no mess!

The top shelf can be reserved for your spare toilet rolls, your mum won’t spot the difference!
Soon, the receipt-paper idea will be used in many other industries as well. Movie tickets, shopping vouchers and whatnot will be printed on receipt paper! Witness as the world works towards a CHEAP future, a green future, the RECEIPT-PAPER future.
