Your Samsung Galaxy Watch, and in fact, your smartwatch running Wear OS 3.5 or above, is going to get more useful. Now, you won't require an additional app to keep track of your flight boarding passes, as the feature is now available on the Google Wallet Wear OS app. Yes, you heard it right! Google Wallet on Wear OS has gained the support to show airline boarding passes.
As already mentioned, your smartwatch should be running Wear OS 3.5 or above to use this new feature on Google Wallet. As noted by 9To5Google, after the latest update, you will see a new notification, “Boarding pass for your flight to [AIRPORT]” right on the Google Wallet Wear OS app. Tapping on the ‘View pass' button shows you the QR code for a quick look at the gate and other details.

Google Wallet now gets much richer by squeezing more phone capabilities
Some users have reported that this Google Wallet feature to show flight boarding passes arrived on the Pixel Watch 2 a few days ago, while some reports in the US claim to see this feature arrive in December 2023. Google Wallet has been adding some new features in the recent past.
Back in December 2023, it added loyalty card support, which was limited to simple membership programs and other passes, and excluded COVID cards, health insurance cards, and private passes. Now, the arrival of Google Wallet's feature is a welcome one, as the app now gets much richer and has more phone capabilities.
