Why 2Flights Complements Airline Apps
Airline apps do a few things well:
- Booking, check-in, and boarding pass
- Loyalty points & upgrades
- Seat selection
But when it comes to tracking your flight, knowing what’s happening next, or looking back at your travel stats — they fall short.
That’s where 2Flights comes in.
Why Travelers Choose 2Flights
- Push alerts for gates, delays, aircraft swaps, and more — sent fast and clearly.
- Smart tracking even when you're offline or only on in-flight text WiFi.
- Flight history and stats that show how far you've flown, how many airports you've visited, and more.
- Social experience with friends, shared trips, and global leaderboards.
- Live Activities on iPhone — showing real-time updates before takeoff, during flight, and after landing.
So... Do You Still Need Your Airline App?
Yes — for boarding and bookings.
But for everything else?
2Flights is your co-pilot.
