Flighty has been a staple for me when traveling. They alert quickly to delays and changes. Now they have announced a Connection Assistant feature for the times you question whether you will make your connecting flight.
Flighty would tell you how much time you had between landing on your current flight and getting to the gate for your connecting flight. With the new Connection Assistant feature, you get more information. Step by step, you find out if your bags need to be rechecked or if you need to go through security.
Connection Assistant also includes:
- Typical Connection Time: Timing for each checkpoint is based on historical patterns and normal conditions, so you have a clearer picture of whether your connection is realistic. Adding your booking class or seat can help further inform it.
- Personalized Guidance: Add your passport(s) to unlock tailored instructions, including whether you can use e-gates, skip passport control, and more. The app dynamically displays only the steps that apply to your citizenship.
- Friends’ Connections: All of today’s features also work with Flighty Friends, so you can follow a friend’s connection to see how tight or relaxed it will be.

PRESS RELEASE
Flighty, the award-winning flight tracker app, launches its all-new Connection Assistant. It is the first feature of its kind to outline every step and checkpoint required to complete any connection on any airline at any airport worldwide, complete with industry-first Gate Predictions.
Until now, making a connection meant figuring it out on the fly by asking gate agents, following unfamiliar signs, and second-guessing whether you’re headed the right way. Connection Assistant replaces all of it with a step-by-step guide tailored to your specific connection. Flighty knows whether you’ll need to clear passport control, recheck a bag, pass through security again, or change terminals, and how long each step typically takes. It works on every trip, and instructions are tailored to you, down to your passport and your seat.
Gate Predictions
In an industry first, Flighty can now predict your arrival and departure gates, gate range, or concourse from the moment you add a flight, using that flight’s historical gates. On the day of your connection, predictions can sharpen to the exact gate, and they work at airports worldwide.
How it works
The new Connection Assistant combines Flighty’s best-in-class flight-tracking data with airport-specific procedures and statistical modeling of millions of prior flights, then turns it all into guidance for your exact trip.
