When I am placing my phone on/under a reader at airports (security checks, gates or tax free) to scan my QR logo (boarding pass), the NFC reader on those machines triggers Apple Pay on my phone because it thinks I want to pay for something. So my boarding pass disappears and I can’t let it be scanned. Airport staff says this has become a common problem. Anyone know of a quick way not to let Apple Pay be triggered temporarily?
I have two thoughts, one would work for sure.
I have tried both but to no luck. As soon as I remove the phone, cancel Apple Pay and bring back the QR screenshot (picture or wallet) the Apply Pay repeatedly shows up as soon as I put the phone back on the scanner.
I didn't think of that with the photo. I guess neither of my suggestions will work then. Unfortunately, I don't have another thought on this. I don't fly much and the last time I did we were able to use the digital boarding passes so their scanners must not have been using NFC.
