What this app is. What it isn’t. What you could build.

One-liner

A comprehensive airline app for booking, checking in, tracking bags, and managing flights with real-time updates, but plagued by performance issues and confusing navigation.

Strengths

Extensive flight search and booking across a global network
Seamless check-in and boarding pass access with mobile integration
Real-time flight status, gate changes, and boarding progression updates
Bag tracking from check-in to arrival with bag drop shortcuts
Live lock screen and Apple Watch notifications for key travel events

Weaknesses

Frequent app crashes and freezes during check-in ("locks up at check-in")
Slow performance and frequent timeouts reported since January 2026
Confusing UI and poor accessibility despite being used by IT professionals
Inefficient WiFi purchase flow requiring multiple steps ("45 min to get into the section")
Poor handling of flight delays and incorrect update displays

Opportunities

Build a lightweight, fast alternative focused only on check-in and boarding pass delivery
Create a flight status tracker that works offline and syncs updates efficiently
Develop a unified baggage tracking dashboard with visual progress indicators
Design a minimalist UI version optimized for older devices or low-bandwidth users
Integrate a one-click WiFi purchase feature with automatic login via loyalty card
