If the AllFly team could give you just two pieces of advice to make your journey smoother and less stressful, they would be this: Download the airline’s app and create an airline loyalty number.

Why are these two simple are critical and will improve the day of travel experience ten fold! Let’s break it down.

When it comes to navigating the unexpected challenges of air travel (missed connections, delays, gate changes, cancellations, tracking luggage, and rebookings) the airline’s app is your best friend. Here’s why:

Flight delays, gate changes, and schedule adjustments are all too common. With the airline’s app, you’ll receive instant notifications, so you’re always in the know and can adapt quickly to any changes.

Imagine you’re about to miss a connection. If you have the app, many airlines, like Delta, will automatically rebook you and notify you of your new flight. No need to wait in long customer service lines or make frantic calls—you’re back on track with just a few taps.

If your flight is canceled, the app gives you immediate rebooking options. This fast response can be the difference between continuing your journey smoothly or being stranded.

Lose the anxiety of wondering where your luggage is. The app allows you to track your bags, so you know exactly where they are at every step of your trip.

Simply put, the airline app gives you control and flexibility, especially during those critical moments when your travel plans are in flux.

Having the airline's app on your phone will give you the opportunity to have a mobile boarding pass on your phone.

The second thing we strongly recommend is creating an airline loyalty number. Please do this prior to shopping for your flight. Here’s how this benefits you:

With a loyalty number, you often get access to priority check-in, boarding, and sometimes even security lanes. This can save you valuable time and reduce stress at the airport.

Your loyalty number can be linked to your travel profile, meaning your details are automatically populated when booking flights, reducing errors and saving time.

Even if you don’t travel often, it’s worth collecting points. These can add up over time, leading to free flights, upgrades, or other travel-related perks.

Airlines tend to take better care of their loyal customers. Having a loyalty number can sometimes help you get preferred seating, complimentary upgrades, or priority in case of flight disruptions.

Travel can be unpredictable, and delays, cancellations, and other issues are, unfortunately, part of flying today. But you don’t have to leave your experience to chance. By downloading the airline app and setting up an airline loyalty number, you’re equipping yourself with the tools to make your journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

When something goes wrong—and let’s face it, things often do—the airline app gives you the best chance to stay in control. Whether it’s rebooking a canceled flight, getting immediate updates on gate changes, or tracking your luggage, the app puts the power in your hands.

Plus, having the app and a loyalty number can help you avoid long hold times, whether with the airline or AllFly, especially during mass disruptions when wait times skyrocket.

Before you finalize your next booking in Quest, make sure to download the app and set up your loyalty number. It’s the single most important step you can take to ensure your travel experience is as hassle-free and empowered as possible. Safe travels!
