This measure, called the Short Connection Pass, is the first tangible result of the Connect France alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easier Connections via WhatsApp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since February 2025, select passengers connecting through Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam-Schiphol receive step-by-step assistance via WhatsApp, provided they opted in for notifications during check-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message includes a link to a personalized page with key details: boarding gate, estimated transfer time, walking time, and next steps. This pilot service already benefits nearly 2,000 connecting travelers each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2025\/07\/air-france-klm-group-withdraws-from-the-race-for-air-europa.html\">Air France-KLM Group Withdraws from the Race for Air Europa<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Greater Autonomy for Wheelchair Users<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, over 690,000 passengers with disabilities traveled with Air France. For the Paris Paralympic Games, the airline introduced a process allowing manual wheelchair users to retain their chairs until boarding and retrieve them upon landing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since March 2025, this practice offers greater independence and comfort, with plans to extend it to electric wheelchairs by year-end. Additionally, special labeling indicates lifting points to ensure careful handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Online Document Scanning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since March 2025, online check-in has been simplified: passengers can scan their passport or ID with their mobile camera, and the data is automatically added to their booking. Over 3 million documents have been processed since launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system also allows saving them to the customer\u2019s profile for future trips, eliminating duplicate processes and reducing errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flight Tracking on iOS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Available since December 2024, this feature displays flight information on the iPhone lock screen or Apple Watch up to four hours before departure: boarding gate, departure time, and a countdown until arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even without onboard internet, the data remains accessible up to one hour after landing. Between 70,000 and 90,000 passengers use this tool daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These initiatives confirm that Air France doesn\u2019t just transport passengers\u2014it delivers a more efficient, personalized, and tailored travel experience for every traveler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid
