Flighty review
Live flight tracking with early delay warnings
- Flighty LLC
- Free + paid plans
- iPhone & iPad
Does it deserve #2?
The verdict
Flighty is the best flight tracker for frequent flyers. It pulls in your flights, shows gate changes and delays in Live Activities, and tracks the inbound plane so you often hear about a delay before the airline announces it. The design is clean and calm, and your lifetime stats make a fun travel log. The best features need Flighty Pro, which is hard to justify if you rarely fly.
- Live Activities for gate changes
