Change the way you travel
Apple Watch can make traveling less tedious—from flashing a pass as
you board the plane to getting directions to the airport.
Travel hands-free

have one less thing to keep track of while youʼre
traveling. As flight time approaches, your pass
appears in a notification. Just swipe down on the

scanner.
Let Apple Watch lead the way
Whether youʼre walking or riding,
Apple Watch can guide you through
unfamiliar places. Raise your wrist,
then say “Hey Siri, get directions to…”.
Apple Watch taps so you know when to
turn. A steady series of taps means
turn right; intermittent taps mean turn
left. And youʼll feel a vibration when
youʼve arrived.
Control your home remotely
Being away from home doesnʼt mean you canʼt
control the devices in it. Open the Home app
and turn on lights, lock doors, and adjust the
