Overview
- Flighty, which released the update on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, added a Connection Assistant that walks travelers through each step of a transfer and estimates how long each step typically takes.
- The app’s new Gate Predictions use historical gate assignments and statistical models to forecast arrival or departure gates, gate ranges, or concourses and then narrow predictions on the day of travel.
- Users can add passport information for tailored guidance that shows only the immigration and e‑gate steps relevant to their citizenship and whether they must clear passport control.
- The Connection Assistant links with Flighty’s existing tools like Friends tracking, airport dashboards, and its CarPlay support, but the release is available only on iOS and Flighty remains unavailable for Android.
- Flighty offers the feature behind its Pro tiers with weekly, annual, and lifetime prices, and the company’s reliance on historical modeling raises questions about real‑world accuracy and data privacy that travelers should watch for.
