2Flights vs Airline Apps

You already have your airline’s app — so do you really need another one?

Yes, if you want reliable flight tracking and real-time updates that actually help you during your trip. Let’s break it down.


Core Differences

Airline apps are built to sell flights and show your boarding pass.
2Flights is built to track flights — past, present, and future.

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.
