If you already know about (and have used) this VIRAL airport hack, pat yourself on the back — you deserve MAJOR props for taking advantage of this brilliant tech trick.

Now, if you have no idea what we’re talking about, don’t worry. We’re going to share a tip that could seriously help you BREEZE through the airport during your next trip.
Travel hack ALERT! A TikTok by @durbinmalonster that now has over one MILLION likes has EVERYONE talking. In the video, a former airline employee explains how she can confidently move through the airport thanks to a simple trick.

The TikTok gives people one simple instruction: on the morning of your flight, simply text yourself (or someone else) your flight number + airline code. For example, if you are flying with American Airlines on flight 1684, you would text “AA 1684” or “AA1684” (the space does not matter).

You can send this text to yourself, to the person picking you up from the airport, or to someone you’re meeting at your destination! Once you send the text, that text becomes a link that has ALL the flight information you may need!

Once the link is live (meaning the text is underlined), tap “Preview Flight.” From here, you can see exactly where the plane is, what terminal to visit, and where to go for baggage claim. Oh, and all of that information automatically updates if anything changes!

This can be SUPER helpful if your flight ends up arriving early or if your terminal changes before takeoff. With this tech trick, you don’t have to find your flight on the airport screens — all the information is right in the palm of your hand. Cool, right? You can watch the full TikTok below.
