Is this correct and natural?

Jane stood up, unable to feel her feet. She had gone numb in the red plastic seats of the airport. She lifted her luggage with left hand, feeling its heft. They clerk handed her the boarding pass with a thin smile. She trudged towards the quiet departure lounge. She stopped, looking at her cellphone, feeling her heart flutter. She almost dialed her mother's cell but put the phone back in her pocket. Jane stepped on the plane, ready to leave her life, her family her city behind her.

Boarding passes don't have smiles.
