How to add a boarding pass to your iPhone Wallet
Through an airline app

2. If you've checked in, your itinerary should show up when you open your trip. If you haven't checked in, sign into your reservation using your flight confirmation number and name.
3. Check in to your flight. Once checked in, it should take you to your boarding pass.
4. When you have your boarding pass, you should see a button to "Add to Apple Wallet." Tap on it.
5. It will ask you to confirm the addition. Tap on "Add."
6. It will now be in your Apple Wallet. You can access it through the app, or on your homescreen when it's time for your flight.

1. Check into your flight either using the airline's website or using an app.
2. If you check in online, make sure you click on the box asking the airline to email you your boarding pass.
3. If the airline sends it directly to your Apple email address, your iPhone should add it automatically to your Wallet.

5. Tap "Add to Apple Wallet" from the attachment.
6. It'll ask you to confirm that you want to add it. Tap on "Add."
