This Innovative Flight-Tracking App is a Travel Must-Have | Flighty
Introduction to Flighty
As a frequent traveler and aviation enthusiast, I often get asked about the best travel apps.
Whether for planning or actual in-country experience, I can understand why everyone wants to ensure their technology is equipped with the resources necessary for an enjoyable trip!
In my tips and tricks blog post, I discuss apps in greater detail, but I wanted to highlight one that is not just a favorite but a trusted companion on my journeys: Flighty!
Flighty is an exceptional travel app that provides real-time flight tracking, comprehensive airport information, and personalized trip itineraries.
Its intuitive interface and accurate notifications have been invaluable in helping me stay updated on flight statuses, navigate airports, and make the most of my travel experiences.
Whether planning my next adventure or in the midst of one, Flighty has proven to be an indispensable tool that I highly recommend to fellow travelers.
Let’s Deep-dive What Makes Flightly So Special
Flighty is an exceptional flight-tracking app that stands out from the competition. It’s your go-to app for flight-related requirements, providing comprehensive pre-flight information, reliable airport guidance, and timely post-landing updates.
What sets Flighty apart is its ability to track and present impressive flight statistics, which I’ll delve into further in this post.
With Flighty, you can be confident that your journey is in capable hands. Now, let’s explore some of the app’s best features!
Flighty’s Pre-Flight Features
Yes, Flighty includes features even before you arrive at the airport!
My favorite is the notification it pushes when your flight is ready for check-in on your airline’s app! It will continue to give you flight information about the departure status!
The updates are usually instant, which I love! It also provides detailed real-time updates, including incredibly accurate delay predictions and inbound aircraft information, ensuring you’re always prepared for your journey.
Flighty’s “At the Airport” Features
These “at the airport” features are probably the most relevant to you!
Flighty gives you all the relevant airport information you need, plus some really cool tracking features – departure gate information (yes, it will update changes), updated departure and arrival times (including delays), flight routes, weather forecasts, and an engaging interactive flight map!
Flighty’s After Landing Features
The “after landing” features include the arrival gate, baggage claim information, and a weather forecast!
If you are connecting to another flight, the information about the connecting flight is provided through push notifications, which usually come through when you take your phone out of airplane mode!Â
Flighty Friends & Family
Share your real-time experience with Flighty with your family and friends!
Not just the app itself but also the “Flighty Friends” feature. You can invite your loved ones via a link with a simple click.
Once they accept, you can easily see each other’s flight information by updating your app. The best part? They’ll receive your flight notifications, and you’ll receive theirs.
This feature is a game-changer for picking up friends and family on arrival or having them track your flights for safety.
Flighty Friends allows you to instantly share your flying with your loved ones so they can monitor your trip status and get notified when you land.
Add your loved ones just once, and you’ll never have to share flight details again manually.
Flighty’s Statistical Expertise
If you’re an aviation enthusiast, you’ll love this feature of the app-it doesn’t become redundant once your flight segments are over!
Tracking your flight details is just the beginning. The app retains the flights you log and creates a range of fun and insightful stats for you to track and visualize.
These stats, such as most flown aircraft, hours lost from delays, total airlines, total airports, and total flying time, add a cool and enjoyable element to your travel experience!
Flighty Passport
If you want a reminder of how cool of a traveler you are, Flighty creates a visual of your flight stats in the form of a passport!
It shows a map of all the flight routes, total flights, flight distance (in miles or kilometers), flight times, total airports visited, and total airlines flown!
You can see this setting toggled for “all-time” or specific years! I will show you all below my all-time Flighty passport logged since using the app!
Connect with Me on Flighty
If any of you are already using the app or this blog post inspired you to download it, let me know so I can send you a link to connect. I’ll accept, and we can be “Flighty Friends!” I wish “Flighty” would add the ability to include the link here like a social media platform, but hopefully, an update will be provided soon.
Conclusion: Do I recommend Flighty?
I cannot say yes enough!
From highly accurate real-time flight tracking to expert tracking abilities and everything in between, Flighty is the premier flight-tracking app! It even includes the ability to sync with other travel apps, like TripIt, another travel-planning app I love very much!
If I did not adequately describe Flighty in this post, you can learn more about it here! I will also discuss this app in my “tips and tricks” blog post, so head there for more information!
As always, don’t hesitate to contact me with any Flighty or general questions! Thank you for reading!
Awesome stats!!! Amazing stats. You really have been going global literally. The App is impressive tracks everything for you and adds all the airports and countries too. Is it an expensive App? Is it annually or monthly, billing, that is? What’s your next adventure the 7th continent ? I really appreciate this post and look forward to the next one.
Thank you for your comment! The app is free to download. Flight logging and passport stats are free features on the app, however, notifications are a part of the subscription service. The app is a little price but worthy it if you want the additional notifications. $4.99/month or $49.00/annual. You can also purchase a life-time subscription for a one-time payment of $250.00! The free services are enough in my opinion!
As for the next adventure, the 7th continent would be nice and is definitely in the works! Antartica is my dream, so stay tuned! @ericgoingglobal is always doing something fun! It probably won’t be the next trip but hopefully in the next year or so. Keep looking in my header for the latest information on where I am!
