Ratings and reviews

I tried checking in for my flight no fewer than six times and kept getting 'looped' out unsuccessfully. I rebooted my phone, tried again, and got the same results, so I abandoned the app and checked in via the website. I have NEVER had this issue before. FWIW: App showed me having a connecting flight in SFO, which I do not. Perhaps a glitch with the 9/4 update? 🤔 I'm happy to help if I can. Call if more info is needed.

Oops! We're sorry, something went wrong! This app is good for getting a boarding pass to load onto Google wallet. Past that, prepare to deal with a slow and clunky interface that can't find your information half the time and drops out in the middle of operations, forcing you to go through the 2FA login process again. This feels like an app from 2008.

8/4/25 The app won't let me log in. "something went wrong" I can log in on the web browser, but not through the app. 9/6/34 update: there have been at least 2 app updates and I STILL cannot log in through the app. I even called & was told they'd notify their tech department and to try again in a few hours... days have past and it still doesn't work. 3-5 minutes of a spinning "please wait" for it to pop up "we're sorry. something went wrong".

What’s new

In this release, we’re continuing to focus on streamlining and improving the app to make it easier to use and provide more ways for you to self-serve.
