If you’re one of those travelers who leaves everything at the last minute and rummages through your luggage to find your flight information, things are about to get easier for you.
A travel influencer shared a little known iMessage hack this can help you stay organized for a flight.
The TikTok by @loulouexplores has been viewed by more than 10.4 million people and has nearly 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 dubbed it the “best flying 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 hold down the flight number and all your flight details will appear.

“Just tap Flight Preview to see. I find this very useful, especially if someone comes to pick me up and can use it.
She added “You can check your terminal and gate, if they are on time, departure time, arrival time and duration of your flight.”
This tip is especially useful if someone is picking you up or waiting for you 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. It’s awesome. Thank you so much!’.
Others added “How cool!! THANKS!!’ and ‘I thought you were going to liquidate us…. I tried and it worked! It’s really practical.
Another viewer noted that there’s another way to do it: “You don’t have to text him anymore.” You can pull down the search bar, paste it and it does the same thing.
Someone else added “If you put the flight in your calendar, all your flight information shows up in Siri suggestions.”
