Flighty – Live Flight Tracker

I travel about 180 days a year and have tried countless flight tracking apps, but Flighty is by far the best. One of my favorite features is how seamlessly it integrates with my calendar—once I input my flight details, my schedule is automatically updated, saving me a ton of time and keeping me organized even during hectic travel weeks. Flighty is also linked directly to the airlines, so it automatically updates your flight information in the app whenever there are changes. This includes delays, gate changes, or cancellations, ensuring you always have the most accurate and current details. The best feature, in my opinion, is the gate information, especially for connecting flights. It shows your arrival gate, estimates the time needed to get to your next gate, and even provides an average travel time with a clear graph. This makes it easy to see whether you have a long connection to relax or a short one that requires you to move quickly. It’s like having a personal travel assistant guiding you through the airport. Overall, Flighty has made traveling smoother, less stressful, and much more organized. For anyone who flies frequently, it’s an essential app that delivers real-time updates, practical guidance, and peace of mind.

Edit update- shocker. My airline app was the issue. 😑 Edit Jan 2024- the app stopped syncing with my calendar but when the app updated two weeks ago it was fixed. Now iOS has updated again and the app OS back to not updating. I have a ton on my schedule and would like if it was synced again. I tried to send a message through the website but it said I needed to report issues through the app. When I tried to do that it just kept making a zip file without ever giving me a way to email anyone so I’ve resorted to deducting a start and hoping someone can reach out with a solution. I love this app! Since my airline banned being able to use some 3rd party apps I’ve really struggled with finding something that keeps me up to date on my flights. The only drawbacks are: I would love to see this available for for Apple Watch, I would love to be able to save individual trips. I know I can see past trips but they are all just grouped together as a long list of flights. It would be nice to see what I did on a three day work block a month ago. I love that this app keeps track of my inbound plane and when it’s delayed. I also love all the info on the aircraft like it’s age. This app is well worth the money for pro if you fly a lot. It gives me alternate routes if it looks like I won’t make a flight and I love know what gate we are going into as well as baggage claim info that I can give to my passengers!

I am an avid traveler and I love flying. That being said, I do have some anxiety around it, and historically I’ve often worried about getting to the airport early enough, finding my flight, and anticipating delays. These days, I belong to a few airline clubs, so I enjoy spending time there before my flights. Having the immediate notifications about my flight and the ability to track where it is, and what gate it’s going to, have given me so much peace of mind. Often Flighty will notify me of something way way way before the airline updates my flight or app. One time, my incoming flight was diverted and delayed, and Flighty told me immediately. My airline didn’t even change the status or do anything for 30+ mins, and always seemed behind on what was actually happening. Meanwhile I went back to the lounge until the plane was headed my way again. I also really appreciate the new friends and family tab as I tend to add my wife and friends flights to Flighty when they’re traveling to see me or in general, and the tab makes it easier - previously I was adding and then deleting them later. Thanks for implementing that!
