If you’re one of those travellers that leaves everything last minute and is searching through your bags to find your flight information, things are about to get easier for you.
A travel influencer has shared a little-known iMessage hack that can help you stay organised for a flight.
The TikTok by @loulouexplores has been seen by over 10.4 million people and has almost 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 disorganised friend’ and dubbed it the ‘best flight tip ever’.

She explained ‘I use this small trick every time I fly. If you paste your flight number in to messages and send it somebody, you can hold down on the flight number and it brings up all your flight details’
She explained ‘I use this small trick every time I fly. If you paste your flight number in to messages and send it somebody, you can hold down on the flight number and it brings up all your flight details.
‘Just press preview flight to view. I find this so useful, especially if someone’s picking me up and they can use it.
She added ‘You can check your terminal and gate, if it’s on time, departure time, arrival time and how long your flight is.’
The tip is especially useful if someone is picking you up or meeting 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. This is brilliant. Thank you so much!’.
Others added ‘How cool!! Thank you!!’ and ‘I thought you were winding us up…. tried it and it worked! That is really handy.’
Another viewer advised that there’s another way you can do it: ‘You don’t have to text it 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 then it shows all your flight info in Siri suggestions’.
