What is Flighty?
Flighty is a flight-tracking app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch that sends status, gate and delay alerts and explains why a flight is late. It tracks the inbound aircraft up to 25 hours ahead so it can predict a new departure time early, giving you a head start on rebooking. Pro adds delay and gate predictions, a connection assistant and calendar, email and TripIt import.
Cost: Free + paid plan (Paid from US$9.99 per month). Booking: No booking. Works on: iPhone, Mac or Windows app.
Best for: Frequent flyers on Apple devices who want the earliest warning of a delay so they can rebook first.
How Flighty uses AI
Flighty says it uses machine learning to predict delays caused by late-arriving aircraft, up to 6 hours before the airline announces anything.
Booking: No booking.
Keep in mind
- Apple platforms only; no Android app is listed on the official site
- Delay and gate predictions are Pro features (free only for your first flight)
- Predictions focus on late-arriving aircraft; it does not rebook for you
