Four outbound tickets, four return tickets, a discount card, the theme park entry: in a family, the parent who books quickly becomes everyone’s ticket office. Here is a setup that holds together, from the day you leave to the day you get home.
Who should have what?
- Young children: everything stays with a parent.
- Teenagers: their own ticket on their own phone, plus a copy with a parent just in case.
- The other parent: the full set of tickets, so you can split up at the station or the airport.
The idea is simple: every ticket lives on at least two adults’ phones.
Putting the family into a trip
In Travel Wallet, create the trip and add each member of the family. For children, tick “This is a child”: no account, no email address. Your crew is remembered, so you will not have to type it in again next time you travel.
Then forward the booking confirmation to the trip’s address, or import the PDF. The app reads the name printed on each ticket and files it under the right first name.
At the ticket check
At the gate, open the first ticket full screen, then swipe to move to the next one: tickets for the same journey follow each other, with the traveler’s first name at the top of the screen. No more hunting for which page of the PDF belongs to which child.
A “My tickets” filter lets your teenager see only their own.
Documents that are not tickets
A hotel booking, a timed museum entry, a restaurant table: add them the same way. They appear in the plan for the day, with the address and the time, and can be exported to your calendar.
Before you leave
- Check that each ticket carries the right first name.
- Add the main parent’s tickets to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet so they are on the lock screen.
- Charge both phones. Tickets open offline, but not without battery.
