Go find the good coffee. Headphones in, eyes anywhere. General Boarding watches your flight — and knows how far you're sitting from the gate — then buzzes you the moment there's a gate, a change, a delay, and exactly when it's time to start walking. Miss nothing. Camp at the gate for nothing.
Try it live →When it's your flight's moment, your phone goes off like an alarm — max haptics, full screen, the gate number huge, and a PA announcement addressed to exactly one person: you. One tap to acknowledge. Then go.
No account. No boarding pass photo. No personal details. It works at every airport, on every airline, in every country — because every airport on Earth has the same three things: a flight, a gate, and the distance between you and it.
VA826. QF402. UA1191. Whatever it is — that's the only thing General Boarding ever knows about you.
We watch the flight on our servers. Your phone quietly keeps track of how far you are from the gate — and that number never leaves your phone.
Gate announced. Gate change. Delay. Boarding. Your phone vibrates like crazy, shows the gate number huge, and tells you your personal "start walking by" time.
Watch any flight — no booking, no airline app, no account. Tap "Meeting someone", type their flight number, and we'll buzz you when they're in the air and again the moment the wheels touch down. Leave for the airport when it matters, not when the schedule said.
Airport announcements are a 1960s broadcast: one language, bad speakers, gone in seconds. If you're deaf or hard of hearing, if the announcement isn't in your language, or if you just had headphones in — the PA was never built for you. Your personal boarding call is: written down, on your phone, vibrating until you see it.
General Boarding is free. Not freemium, not free-for-now — free. It costs almost nothing to run: one flight check serves every passenger waiting on that flight, and the walking maths happens on your own phone. We built it because we needed it, and because the people who need it most — travellers who can't hear the call, can't parse the language, or can't switch off for two hours at a gate — shouldn't pay to board a plane. Some things should just exist. This is one of them.
Your location is used on your phone to work out the walk to the gate — it is never uploaded, never stored, never seen by us. What our servers know: a flight number, a date, an airport code. Deleted within 24 hours of your flight. That's it. That's the list.
