Will Flighty alert me when it's time to leave for the airport?

Yes! Flighty Pro’s When to Leave feature calculates when you should leave for the airport and automatically alerts you when it’s time to go. It considers your travel time, predicted traffic conditions, and how much time you’d like to spend at the airport before your flight.

How does Flighty calculate when to leave?

Flighty works backwards from your flight’s departure time, taking into account two things:

Getting to the airport

You can choose how Flighty calculates your travel time:

  • Automatic: Enter your departure address or use your current location, and Flighty will estimate your driving time to the airport, taking predicted traffic into account. If traffic conditions change, Flighty automatically adjusts your reminder.

  • Manual: Enter your own travel duration if you’d prefer to plan your journey yourself.

Your departure location is never sent to Flighty.

Time at the airport

Flighty automatically suggests how early you should arrive at the airport based on your flight type, such as domestic or international.

You can adjust this time to suit your preferences, whether you prefer arriving early or spending a little less time at the airport.

For more control, you can also break down your airport time into individual steps, such as:

  • Returning a rental car

  • Checking your bags

  • Getting through security

  • Spending time in the airport lounge

Simply add the steps and their durations, and Flighty will calculate when you need to leave.

Will Flighty adjust my reminder if traffic changes?

Yes. When using automatic driving time, Flighty takes predicted traffic conditions into account and automatically adjusts your When to Leave reminder as those conditions change.
