I travel 4-5 trips a year and I didn't hesitate for a second to pay for Flighty, because this was one of those "man these guys deserve to be rewarded for the amazing job they've done"
I have had at least 2-3 situations where Flighty gave me information before the airport did, and that I ended up being a guy informing a few fellow passengers on the status of our flight before the airlines did.
They've chosen a niche, have executed extremely well, and I'm happy to throw $50/year at them to say thank you for an excellent product that does everything I want.
My ONLY complaint is that during a flight, flighty's live activity or something uses up a TON of battery. It seems unlike them to overlook such a thing when the rest of the app has such a polish and attention to detail (form and function-wise)

Haha i knew i was going to get this reply. Long time lurker first time poster.
My instagram backs up the story @bodhihawken
Honestly have just been using Flighty for 4 years
Flighty was recommended to me by a flight attendant and I also have been notified hours ahead of the airlines by it.
You logged in after a 5 year hiatus to advertise for an app?
Keep it up, I think you’re onto something. Sus
As not a shill myself, who comments on a variety of stuff regularly, I could totally see why the mention of a product someone loves is the thing that pulls them out of lurking.
Take it from an older account then. Flighty has been amazing, I can attest to every point above (except sleeping in airports, I don't do that)
Flighty has 99% of the time notified me about issues before airlines have. In a couple situations it’s been more than 6 hours ahead of airline communication and I can personally speak to the amount of shows myself and my artists have been able to make because of an early notification about a delay or cancellation giving us enough time to reroute before everyone else rebooks.
Also the flighty passport has some amazing data and stats we all love to share with each other every year.
The new update just looks to add another tool to the flighty tool belt to keep me appraised of how likely I am to make it to my next show. Jury is still out on how good the data is though!
