The Problem

Southwest Airlines passengers frequently forgot to check in exactly 24 hours before flights, resulting in poor boarding positions and limited seat selection options under the airline's open seating system.

The Challenge

Developing a travel reminder app required implementing precise 24-hour countdown timers, managing multiple flight schedules simultaneously, handling timezone conversions for travelers, delivering reliable push and SMS notifications, and ensuring reminders fired accurately regardless of app state or device settings.

The Result

The Southwest Check-In Reminder app successfully ensures passengers receive timely reminders to check in exactly 24 hours before Southwest flights, helping them secure better boarding positions and preferred seat selections. The automated reminder system eliminates the need to manually track check-in times across multiple flights.
