Trying to stay on top of the newest information about your flight while can be a stressful experience. Mobile apps are useful, but can be used with the newest information while info stations are usually crowded. Thankfully, there is one simple hack that can make your next flight stress-free.
TikToker Darby Malone, who is a former airline employee, recently shared a video, which has since received 27 million views, in which she detailed her “No.1 flying hack.” According to Malone, the thing she always does on the morning of a flight is texting herself the flight number.
The flight number text turns into a link that provides all the newest information about your flight and updates in real-time. This includes the departure time, gate number, arrival time, baggage claim info, and everything else you need to know.
In order for the hack to work, you need to use your iPhone’s messaging app. On top of that, you need to include the airline code. For example, if you are flying with Delta Airlines and your flight is 607, you need to send the following message: “DL607.”
You can also send this message to your family or friends so that they know your arrival time.
It turned out that a lot of people didn’t know about this hack.
“This is absolutely mind blowing information darby,” one TikToker wrote in the comments section.
“I have NEVER known this! This makes my type A airport self so happy,” another added.
