Ratings and reviews

The app is handy for early check ins and for quick access to boarding passes. The alerts are helpful as well for reminding you to get to the gate for boarding, especially if you are like me and like to explore the airports! The app is also helpful for checking up on options for flight changes and getting alerts for delays and gate changes. It takes a bit of navigation practice to be able to understand changing flights, etc., but other than that it is fairly easy.

Intuitive. App isn't sluggish like some others. Easy to check in and easy access to boarding pass. I wish the boarding pass was temporarily cached somehow so that I could pull it up without internet once I've checked in. So in the event data connection is less than ideal I can still pull it up quickly. Screenshot of the boarding pass seems to work though. So not a deal breaker. Update: App has been getting sluggish. At least 3 occasions where my ticket couldn't be accessed & redownload required
