does an iphone need to be online for a boarding pass

Thanks for reaching out lauryg,

It sounds like you want to know if using a pass requires the user to be connected to the internet. We can help.

While you may need to be connected to a data connection to download the pass, you don't need to be to use one already saved in Wallet.

Learn more here on how to Add, use, and share boarding passes, tickets, and other passes in Apple Wallet.

Hope that helps.

Take care.
