In order to bring as much ease as possible to the process of boarding a flight, easyJet will soon be launching a mobile travel app just for the Apple Watch. This app will allow travelers to display their boarding passes on their wearable devices and get real-time updates through the smart timepiece. In preparation for an exciting trip, there's also a fun countdown feature that shows the days remaining until the easyJet flight. Beyond access to details on an upcoming flight's status, users also have a wealth of other information at their fingertips, including exchange rates and weather at the destination. Right from the app, users can also share updates to social media using built-in Facebook and Twitter buttons.
Streamlining communication on all fronts, this is a handy app that will bring additional convenience to travelers and airline staff.
