I’m a travel influencer and this is ‘best flight tip’ to tell a ‘disorganised friend’

If you are one of those travelers who leave everything at the last minute and search through your suitcases to find your flight information, things will become easier for you.

A travel influencer shared a little known iMessage hack that can help you stay organized for a flight.

The TikTok of @loulouexplores has been seen by more than 10.4 million people and has generated almost 4,000 comments.

It’s a hack that anyone with an iPhone can make the most of, and the influencer says she does it “every time” she flies.

In the caption, she told viewers to “send this to a disorganized friend” and called it the “best escape tip ever.”

She explained, “I use this little trick every time I fly. If you paste your flight number into messages and send it to someone, you can press and hold the flight number and it will display all your flight details.

‘Just press the sample flight to view it. I find this so useful, especially when someone picks me up and he/she can use it.

She added: ‘You can check at your terminal and gate for on-time availability, departure time, arrival time and how long your flight is.’

The tip is especially helpful if someone picks you up or picks you up at the airport.

The TikToker clarified that the feature may not be supported for some flights – she tested it for British Airways and Singapore Airlines and it worked for both.

One user commented, “OMG. This is brilliant. Thank you so much!’.

Others added: ‘How cool!! Thank you!!’ and “I thought you were kidding us…. tried it and it worked! That is very handy.’

Another viewer said that you can also do it in a different way: ‘You don’t have to text anymore. You can pull down the search bar and paste it, and it does the same thing.”

Someone else added: “If you put the flight in your calendar, all your flight information will appear in Siri Suggestions.”
