Google Wallet now helps with flight check-ins and real-time alerts

Technology Dec 05, 2025

Google Wallet just got a handy upgrade: you'll now get flight check-in notifications straight from Gmail, plus location-based alerts when you're near spots like airports.
So whether you're traveling or just heading out, your boarding passes and other essentials pop up right when you need them—no digging required.

Quick setup for smarter notifications

Want those instant pass reminders? Just set your Google Wallet location permissions to "Allow all the time."
This unlocks fast access to your boarding and loyalty cards with simple alerts and one-tap opening.
You can also tweak which passes send notifications in each pass' details menu, so things stay organized your way.
