Today on GoNomad, we're diving deep into a new app that's quickly becoming a must have for frequent fliers, nervous travelers, and anyone who wants to stay one step ahead of the airlines.
Speaker A:
It's called Flighty, and if you haven't heard of it yet, you will soon.
Speaker A:
I read about it when it was highly recommended by the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker A:
Think of it as the ultimate flight tracker.
Speaker A:
An app that doesn't just tell you when your plane is boarding, but predicts delays, tracks inbound aircraft, and even gives you pilot grade data right in your pocket.
Speaker A:
Flighty is built around one simple idea.
Speaker A:
Airlines don't always tell you the whole story, and they rarely tell you fast enough.
Speaker A:
Flighty fills that gap.
Speaker A:
Here's what Flighty offers the world's fastest delay alerts, often 20 to 90 seconds faster than other airline notification apps.
Speaker A:
It offers inbound aircraft tracking so that you know where your plane is coming from and whether it's already being delayed.
Speaker A:
It offers storm, wind and traffic delay predictions, giving you a heads up even before the gate agent knows.
Speaker A:
And it also provides live pilot grade data, radar, weather and real time positioning.
Speaker A:
It has a connection assistant that helps you figure out if you'll make the flight on a tight layover.
Speaker A:
And it has a calendar sync and a TripIt import so you can put everything into those programs that you may already be using.
Speaker A:
It's not just about information, it's about peace of mind.
Speaker A:
Flighty takes the anxiety out of flying by giving you control over those unknowns.
Speaker A:
Flighty has quickly become a favorite among frequent business travelers, aviation enthusiasts, and even casual vacationers.
Speaker A:
Travel reporters and bloggers have raved about it.
Speaker A:
As I mentioned, the Wall Street Journal called it the must have app for trucking your flights, according to FlyerTalk.
Speaker A:
But it's not just the road warriors.
Speaker A:
Family use Flighty to track loved ones, flights friends use it to coordinate airport pickups, and nervous flyers can use it to calm their nerves by knowing exactly what's happening behind the scenes.
Speaker A:
This app even won an Apple Design Award and was finalist for the App of the Year in App Hunter.
Speaker A:
Flighty offers a free version, but the real magic happens when you upgrade, of course, to Flighty Pro, which costs $59.
Speaker A:
Here's what you unlock Unlimited flights and features no caps restrictions push alerts for delays, cancellations and gate changes, live activities and watch widgets perfect for Apple Watch users 25 hour where's my plane?
Speaker A:
Tracking so you know exactly where your plane is before boarding.
Speaker A:
Storm, wind and delay predictions, arrival forecasts and predicted departure times past flight history import up to 12 months of your past flights and private and secure syncing across your devices.
Speaker A:
The $59 annual fee gets the most comprehensive flight tracking experience you can possibly find.
Speaker A:
Nothing like the apps for the airlines themselves, they don't tell you half the information.
Speaker A:
Air travel has always been unpredictable weather, mechanical issues, cruise scheduling.
Speaker A:
There are countless factors that can disrupt your plans.
Speaker A:
Airlines often communicate late, leaving passengers scrambling.
Speaker A:
Flighty flips that script by giving you faster, clearer and more detailed information.
Speaker A:
It empowers you to make decisions before the chaos hits.
Speaker A:
Imagine you're flying from Boston to Chicago.
Speaker A:
Flighty alerts you that your inbound aircraft is stuck in Denver due to storms.
Speaker A:
You know hours in advance that your flight will be late.
Speaker A:
That gives you time to rebook, adjust meetings, or simply relax, knowing you're informed.
Speaker A:
That's the kind of control you can get from Flighty.
Speaker A:
So is Flighty worth it?
Speaker A:
Is it worth $59 a year?
Speaker A:
For the occasional traveler, that free version might be enough.
Speaker A:
But for anyone who flies regularly or simply values peace of mind, the $59 annual subscription is a small price to pay for the world's fastest delay alerts, predictive data and a beautifully designed app.
Speaker A:
So give it a try next time you're on the App Store.
