byAir vs. Southwest

No. Keep the Southwest app for official actions such as booking changes, check-in, boarding passes, assigned seats, Priority Boarding, digital bag check and tracking, Rapid Rewards, and Live Chat. byAir complements it with independent flight tracking, multi-airline trip organization, imports, and traveler-focused alerts.

Yes. Add a Southwest flight manually, connect Gmail or Outlook, sync a calendar, forward the booking email, or scan a boarding pass or itinerary. The flight then appears alongside connections on Southwest or other airlines.

On eligible flights, byAir Predict can show a clearly labeled predicted departure time and likely reason before the airline publishes a new official estimate. Coverage varies, not every delay can be predicted, and Southwest’s status remains the official one.

Use the Southwest app for official assigned-seat choices, Priority Boarding, digital bag check, and bag-tracking scans tied to your reservation. byAir does not replace those airline systems.

Its public feature list describes Rapid Rewards points and current-trip management, but not a personal flight-history statistics dashboard. byAir combines completed flights from every carrier and calculates totals for flights, distance, time in the air, airlines, aircraft types, and airports visited.

That is where byAir is especially useful. It keeps flights from different carriers in one trip, including connections or separate tickets, so you can follow the journey without switching between airline apps.
