I do a lot of traveling in the United States, this may vary depending on where you are.
I haven’t used a physical boarding pass in almost 9 years. Airlines want you to use a digital boarding pass as it costs them less money and is more secure, so you actually get less sales pitches with the digital boarding pass. It’s literally here’s your flight information, here’s your QR code, we’ll only text you if something changes, like the gate changed, or there was delay. Printing a pass is obsolete these days. As for offline use. You add it to your phone’s wallet, and most airports in the US have free WiFi, so you’re covered there as well if you didn’t save the image, or have no cell service.
The only time I got spam was when I signed up for airline miles and then I simply opted out and those stopped as well.
Go QR code all the way, no chance of it getting lost.
