Can you have 2 boarding passes on 1 phone?

Yes. I've often had mine and my daughter's boarding passes on my phone only because I make our reservations but she has to use her own boarding pass to get through security so she has her own boarding pass on her phone too and does not use my phone for her boarding pass.



Yes, you can absolutely have two or more boarding passes on a single smartphone in 2026. This is a common practice for families traveling together or for a single traveler with a connecting flight on different airlines. If you are traveling as a group on one reservation, the airline's mobile app (such as United, Delta, or American) will allow you to swipe right to cycle through all the boarding passes in the party. Additionally, both Apple Wallet and Google Wallet support multiple passes; you can add each individual ticket to your digital wallet for quick access even without an internet connection. If you are on a "multi-carrier" journey, you can store passes from different airlines side-by-side in your wallet. For 2026 travelers, a "pro-tip" is to take a screenshot of each pass as a backup, as digital wallets can occasionally glitch or lose cloud-syncing at the exact moment you reach the security scanner or the boarding gate.
