17 Things You Should Always Do Before Boarding Your Flight
17. Set Up Travel Notifications and Offline Access
Internet isn’t guaranteed once you’re in the air—or even on the ground at your destination. Download offline maps, boarding passes, and your itinerary before leaving home. Set up real-time flight alerts via your airline’s app or third-party travel platforms to stay informed about delays, gate changes, or cancellations. If you're using rideshare apps or navigation tools, pre-load your hotel address and relevant directions in case you land without Wi-Fi or data access. Bonus tip: screenshot your reservation confirmations and save them to a dedicated travel folder. When connectivity fails, offline planning keeps you flying smooth.
