Flighty – Live Flight Tracker

Let me first start by stating that I have a high status on one airline and silver/starting status on few other airlines. While I don’t fly million miles every couple of years, I do fly often. I use three other flight tracker apps plus a pro member on TripIt for my travels. This app is absolutely amazing. Simple interface. But don’t let the simplicity fool even the most seasoned traveler. I love the push messages on my plane’s status, gate changes, and what they advertise with respect to 24 hour flight information prior to your flight. No, it’s not constant push messages. But the information is REALLY faster (especially on gate changes and runway delays) than any other app I’ve used in the last 10 years. A must have for frequent traveler. Get the pro version. For casual traveler, the free version is okay. A little pricey but $50 a year is worth it for someone who takes 3 round trip/multi-city trips per month.

I recently flew from Asheville, North Carolina to Boston via Charlotte and this app was soo useful during both my outbound flights as well as my return trip to AVL. I loved getting the continuous updates from the app, especially the inbound flight info for BOTH planes as well as the tail numbers. And boy oh boy did I love the connecting gate info in CLT for my flight to BOS. And on the return, it saved me so much trouble when it told me my original flight from Boston to Charlotte was cancelled. I was able to rebook myself and get home earlier than planned. Furthermore I was able to track the inbound flight info for my friends coming into Boston from Dallas DFW on American as well as New York LGA with ease the next day. All in all I think this is a great app and I can’t wait to use it on my next trip to Portland Maine from Baltimore come New Year’s! Thanks Flighty crew! ✈️✈️✈️.

Let me start to saying we are in the limousine business for 30 years so we track flights all day long this is the most amazing flight tracker ever. It lets you know everything possible about your flight once you start getting the notifications it’s worth every penny. Yes it’s worth $50 a year no doubt about it. Also the second you book your flights no matter how far in advance you can put them in to the trackers. Customer service is fantastic just send them an email and they will get right back to you. These guys have worked so hard to put this app together properly and being experience in this business I have to say again they did a great job. If I could give it 10 stars I would!

So the UI looks nice. The historical on-time data is a nice-to-have but also available elsewhere on my other apps. The TripIt connection for me is a must-have, because I’m not managing my flights in several places and TripIt is owned by and connects to my corporate travel platform. That said, I feel like $50/year is very high for what the app seems to provide. But there’s NO way I’ll pay when it’s not syncing to my iPad. Hard stop. I see from another review that it is “a small subset of users” and that an update is on the way, and that was 10 days ago. So the app has my free trial to wow me and I have one trip in that timeframe to get a full test. I’m most interested in the timeliness and accuracy of the alerts, since I already get alerts from three other apps.

Beautiful app, has everything I was looking for, but one feature doesn’t work for me and it’s hard to get replies from the company. The where’s my flight doesn’t work for Southwest flights in the US. I can see where my flight is coming from with Flightradar24, but not flighty. I got a response once that it was a southwest issue but I’ve reached out since on Twitter DM, tweeted them, everything and I get no response. I spent a lot for the subscription and it’s a shame I can’t use one of the main features I wanted nor can I get a response from them. I keep hoping one day it will be fixed but right now I’ll have to stick to the other apps that work as advertised and respond to support requests.
