Flighty has received a major update on the App Store, and the biggest addition is a new Connection Assistant feature that gives travelers clearer guidance during connecting flights. The update focuses on making airport transfers easier by showing the exact steps passengers need to follow between flights.
Flighty adds a smarter connection guide
The new Connection Assistant gives step-by-step information for each connection, including terminal changes, security checks, passport control, and other airport procedures. It also shows how long each step usually takes, which helps travelers understand whether they have enough time before their next flight.
Flighty says the feature combines its flight-tracking data with airport-specific procedures and statistical models based on millions of previous flights. Because of this, the app can give guidance based on the traveler’s actual route instead of offering general airport advice.
The feature also supports more personal details. Travelers can add their booking class or seat information to improve timing estimates, while passport details help the app show instructions based on citizenship. For example, the app can tell users whether they can use e-gates or skip certain passport control steps.
Gate Predictions also arrive
The update also adds Gate Predictions, which Flighty describes as an industry-first feature. With this tool, the app uses historical airport and flight data to predict arrival gates, departure gates, gate ranges, or concourses before official details appear.
This joins Flighty’s existing tools, including live flight tracking, delay predictions, airport intelligence, and detailed flight data. Flighty remains available as a free download on the App Store, while Flighty Pro costs $4.99 per week or $59.99 per year. A lifetime option is also available for $299.
