I never knew they've got a special format for those, I've most often got 'em as PDF's.

yeah sorry, i 'm talking about airline tickets 
intresting that it's an apple format, i received a pkpass file from my airline without getting asked if i'm an iphone owner
however it should be possible, somehow, to open these files on other distributions. see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...***-on-android
but this might be a tough thing

Now why am I not surprised a bit about this?

Ultimately the passbook file seems to be a zipfile containing a bunch of PNG images and some JSON data describing keys.
If you are lucky one of the images might yield up an airline barcode in BCBP-2D format.

Passengers with phony passes in hand only run the risk that the aircraft they intend to board may be fully booked, the hacker said.
"Currently, if you get into a completely booked flight and you have no place to sit, it will obviously be detected," he said.

Without ever seeing a passbook file, I take that to mean it is just an archive (zipfile, tgz, lza,...) that contain a bunch of images and some identification data.
It might be openable with standard command line tools; for example strip extra headers off with dd, run the file thru unzip, sort through the results, display the flight details, codes & barcode...

i know it isn't the most important app but i think it's worth asking if there is an app
thanks for all ideas and answers !
