Apple Pay activated while scanning boarding pass

Hi TjeerdZ,

Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.

While we aren't exactly clear how Apple Pay is getting activated when scanning or getting a screen shot of a boarding pass, have you tried adding it to your Apple Wallet instead? This article explains further: Add, use, and share boarding passes, tickets, and other passes in Apple Wallet.

"How to add a boarding pass, ticket, or other pass to Apple Wallet on your iPhone

1. Open the app, email, notification, or other communication that contains your boarding pass, ticket, or other pass.
2. Tap Add to Apple Wallet.
3. 
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.
5. If necessary, tap Add in the upper right corner.

If you don't see an option to add your boarding pass, ticket, or other pass to the Wallet app, contact the merchant or company that issued it to make sure they support passes in the Wallet app.

When you add a boarding pass, ticket, or other pass to the Wallet app on your iPhone, you automatically add it to the Wallet app on your paired Apple Watch."

We'd also advise updating to iOS 16.1.1 to make sure the issue you have experienced isn't due to an outdated version of iOS. Here's how to Update your iPhone or iPad.

Then if the issue continues, contact Apple Support for a deeper dive.

Have a fantastic day!
