Yes, you can absolutely have multiple boarding passes on a single smartphone, which is a common practice for families or groups traveling together on the same booking. Major airline apps (such as British Airways, Delta, and United) and digital wallets (Apple Wallet and Google Wallet) allow you to swipe through individual passes at the gate. This is a "pro-tip" for 2026 travelers to speed up the boarding process, as one person can scan for the entire group. However, there are a few constraints: everyone must be on the same booking reference (PNR) for the airline app to group them together easily. Additionally, most airlines still require a separate device or a physical pass for unaccompanied minors or infants in some jurisdictions. It is also important to ensure your phone is fully charged, as a dead battery could leave your entire group stuck at security. If you are using Apple Wallet, you can even "share" these passes with other group members' phones via AirDrop or iMessage for added backup.
In 2026, the Boston Harbor Hotel at Rowes Wharf remains a fiercely independent luxury property, but it is a prominent member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. Unlike standard chains like Marriott or Hilton, being part of the "Preferred" network allows the hotel to maintain its unique local character and management (currently by the Pyramid Global Hospitality group) while benefiting from a global loyalty program and booking system. It is specifically part of the "Legend Collection" within the Preferred group, which is reserved for only the most iconic and high-service hotels in the world. Owned by Morgan Stanley, the hotel is famous for its 80-foot stone archway and its 2026 Forbes Five-Star status. While you won't find the same cookie-cutter experience here as in a chain hotel, you can still use and earn "I Prefer" rewards points, making it a favorite for travelers who want independent luxury with the perks of a global network.
