Samsung Wallet gets Air France boarding passes, local transport tickets for Paris, and more
Samsung has announced that it will offer an easier and smarter way to travel for French residents and tourists. Galaxy smartphone users can add their Air France flight boarding passes to Samsung Wallet, so they don't need to carry a physical boarding pass.
Thanks to IDFM support, residents and tourists can travel easily in the Île-de-France region. They can easily access their tickets from Samsung Wallet's Transit menu and board buses, metros, and Réseau Express Régional (RER) lines by tapping their Galaxy phones on ticket scanning points.
Moreover, travelers can use payment card-based transit systems across multiple cities, including Aix-en-Provence, Lyon, Marseille, Lille, Lyon, and Toulouse. Samsung Wallet also supports RoissyBus and OrlyBus shuttle services for quick travel between the city center and the Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Woncheol Chai, Head of Digital Wallet Team, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, said, “Samsung is proud to drive ease of access through technological innovation for Île-de-France Mobilités and Air France. By integrating all-new travel management features into Samsung Wallet, we are bringing new levels of convenience to French locals as well as to visitors to France, just in time for a busy summer travel season.“
