Developed in close collaboration with Cirium, the global leader in aviation analytics, the new feature is designed to eliminate travel uncertainty by delivering timely and reliable flight information. The addition of Cirium's Trips intelligence in the app enables users to monitor gate changes, delays, cancellations, terminal updates, baggage carousel assignments, and other real-time alerts. Now available to all Dreampass app members, it transforms how customers manage their travel – by giving them the essential information they need, exactly when they need it.

It's convenience, clarity, and peace of mind, all in one.' Today, when more than 1.2 million U.S. flights were delayed and over 90,000 were cancelled in 2024 alone, real-time access to trip disruptions is not just helpful but also a vital tool for travelers worldwide.

All details are also stored in a personalized trip card inside the app – making key information easily accessible at each user's convenience. Typically coming at a premium price, this new add-on service is already included in the comprehensive protection package for all Dreampass app members who have purchased the subscription plan at no extra charge, along with other convenient features such as international emergency medical protection, a free eSIM card with 3GB of data usable in over 140 countries, $100 in ancillary travel credit, and up to 10% cashback for extra savings and loyalty rewards to be spent towards future travel.
