Welcome
App in The Air Users

App in the Air’s permanent closure on October 19, 2024, was sad news for all of us. They were one of the apps that kept us on our toes, and pushed us to become better and better. Building Flighty for so long and interacting with our users, we also realize how precious your data and history is to you, and we want to help.

If you enjoyed App in the Air, we think you’ll love Flighty. Our team is lean and healthy, we rapidly ship new features, and we’re in this for the long run.

Those saved their App in the Air data before October 19, can easily import their flights into Flighty.

Welcome aboard!

Download Flighty

You’ll find plenty of features that you were a fan of on App in the Air, as well as plenty of new ones (like delay predictions) that don’t exist anywhere else. It’s free to give Flighty a try.

Or let me know when it's available for Android.

Beautifully designed and powerful to use, Flighty is a first-class flight tracker for those on the move. The app offers detailed flight maps, live tracking, and delay forecasting — but the real magic is the perfectly timed notifications that keep you up to date and stress-free.

Why Flighty is different

While a popular tool for travel, AppInTheAir did not have the same feature set that Flighty does. Notably, AppInTheAir lacked the advanced delay prediction and arrival forecasts that Flighty offers, did not show where your plane was, and had a relatively aggressive privacy policy. AppInTheAir also promoted airline tickets, hotels, car rentals, and more. Flighty does not promote any third-party products.


Flighty has a more powerful feature set, is easier to use, and is less intrusive. Our goal at Flighty remains simple: to give you all the information you need for a smooth trip.

Ever since FlightTrack Pro died, I've searched for the ultimate flight-tracking app. Now I've found it: @Flighty. Beautiful, clear, useful info (even tracks the INBOUND plane for your flight). Often tells me about delays before the airline does!

Saved the day!

To: Flighty Crew

Two weeks ago, I had a one-day business trip planned—JFK to Buffalo for a quick meeting. At 7:30 am, Flighty alerted me to a delay two legs before my flight. JetBlue hadn’t posted anything, but I could see a delay was coming. I quickly booked a Delta flight out of LGA, arranged for my associates to meet me there, and made it to my meeting on time. If not for Flighty’s early alert, I’d have missed it. Thanks for a great experience!

Best Flight Tracking App

I have used a lot of other flight tracking apps. Flighty takes all of them combined and make them look amateurish. Been using the app for several years. Yearly fee is less than a dinner out. And so worth paying!! It has saved me on both domestic and international flights - updates faster than airport boards on status. I know exactly where my arrival plane is and can judge how fast I need to in line to board my flight. Simply the best!!!!

Great travel app!

If you fly at all, Flighty is amazing. It really does get updates on delays faster than what you'll get from the airlines. The app itself is so clearly built with care, attention to detail, and skill. All the extra info on your flight and your all time passport are great as well.

The Best By Far

@LPAppsSuck

The best flight tracking app I have ever experienced in 15 years and 650k miles of business travel. Extremely stable, very pretty, and easy to use. Best of all, the app is super fast with gate changes and delay notifications. Flighty alerts me before the gate agents even know of a change. I love it so much that I've paid for my team to get subscriptions.

It's like the old Apple motto: It just works. It does exactly what it needs to, nothing more, and it does it all flawlessly. It's genuinely my favorite app on my phone. Literal perfection. No notes. Now, if only every other app on my phone worked as well as Flighty.

@Flighty just saved Christmas! My son's flight home tomorrow afternoon was cancelled and the "bong bong bong" alerted me before @Delta or @Triplt did. I immediately got on the phone with Delta, got them rebooked. And all is now well. Thanks, Flighty team.

How do you do it?

To: Flighty Crew

Last month, traveling from PHL to SFO, I got a Flighty alert about a 1-hour delay while standing by the crew at the gate. I asked the captain, who laughed and said I was wrong, suggesting I just listen to the P.A. 5 minutes later, he got a call—reassigned to another flight last minute. We were left without a pilot, and the flight was delayed an hour. The captain apologized as he left. Quite funny how it all unfolded. Information rules!

Essential Travel App

I’m a 2+ million mile flyer, and this app is essential for navigating the complexities of travel. Airport monitors are slow to update, but Flighty keeps you ahead. Forewarned is forearmed—this app equips you with the info you need to handle inevitable travel issues. Absolutely worth the annual fee.

Hendrik Haandrikman

@HHaandr

Signed up for @Flighty in an ongoing effort to get them on @RevenueCat, and the very first flight I used it for was cancelled. They let me know 30m (!) before the airline did, which meant that I hadn't left home yet. I'd have been on a train and would've wasted hours 🤯

Saved me HOURS of time! 6 Stars!

This app is one of the best on the App Store and worth every penny. The user interface is fast, and their notifications beat every airline. Yesterday, I had a 2+ hour layover in ATL on my way to MCI. There was an earlier flight, but Delta wouldn’t let me book it due to a tight connection time. I used Flighty to monitor it anyway. Mid-flight, at 30,000 ft., Flighty notified me the earlier flight was delayed by 15 minutes, while my flight was landing 5 minutes early. I had a chance! I rushed off, snagged a standby seat, and made it just in time. Got to see my family earlier because of this app. Thanks, Flighty devs!
