How to Make a Pretend Airplane Boarding Pass as a Gift

Making Pretend Airplane Boarding Passes at Home

• 1). Open your computer's Paint program, if you use Windows, or Paintbrush in the case of Mac users. Using the rectangular drawing tool, create a rectangle with a thin black border.
  
  
• 2). Divide the rectangle vertically into two uneven sections, with the area on the right covering only one third of the total space. The smaller section represents the portion of the boarding pass that airline officials usually detach at the departure gates.
  
  
• 3). Type the passenger's name in both the large and small sections of the boarding pass, using exactly the same font and format in both. If you are using Paint, choose the "Courier New" font and type in all capital letters. Always type the passenger's family name first, followed by a forward slash and then her given name. Type the name in the center of the larger section and repeat near the bottom of the smaller portion of the boarding pass.
  
  
• 4). Add your make-believe airline's code and flight number, as well as the date and time of departure to both sections of the boarding pass, underneath the passenger's name. The airline code should be comprised of two letters and the flight number includes three digits.
  
  
• 5). Create a logo for your airline and a make-believe airline name to add to the upper left had corner of both sections of your boarding pass. Try to choose two colors for your airline logo, or consider searching for clip art images in Microsoft Word. You can paste these into a Paint document.
  
  
• 6). Print your boarding pass using a color printer.
