…And we have another travel-related app to show you. This one comes from a third-party developer (rather than an airline) and it’s made to help you go to through the inconvenience of delayed or cancelled flights. Called Air Advocate, the application is designed both for inexperienced and sophisticated travelers, and is said to be the only mobile app that indicates when a flight is full.
Here’s what you get:
- Easy-to-read flight status and itinerary with large buttons and colored alerts
- Convenient check-in which links to your airline’s website
- Real-time status alerts with time updates of schedule and gate changes, delays and cancelations
- Full flight alert that lets you know when there are no seats left on your flight
- Alternative flights and their status – for those unlucky events when your flight is delayed or cancelled.
- Tarmac Timer
- Passenger rights – quick reference to your rights as a passenger.
In a nutshell — and this is why Air Advocate is different than competing products — it doesn’t just offer flight information, but also allows you to take control by checking in early to guarantee a seat. Nice! 😉
