2025 was a great year for travel. It was the slowest year I’ve had since the pandemic, which is a good thing. Shoutout to #Flighty for the nice graphic

数量上正好是Flighty里记录的一半,但其实有至少两趟古早航班没有记录所以其实还差一点(

Name a better flight tracking app than #Flighty. I bet you can’t. Year-in-review of my 2025 flights.
I did some traveling this year! ✈️

if there’s an award for best crafted all time app, it deserves to go to #flighty – always helpful, so well made, nice design, perfect stats and everything 🩶
I was cutting things fine getting to Haneda Airport and trusted #flighty on which terminal to go to for my JAL flight from the train. Oops - this is the first time it’s got it wrong! I took the free bus between terminals and still got there on time.

Trying #Flighty Pro again for a trip and this time the experience is a lot better! (Last time it never told me the gate or knew I had landed.)

Got informed about delays well before the airport info boards, got the gate number a good 30 mins before it was announced (so plenty of seats to choose from), and could follow the flight as it arrived.

#Flighty Pro was underwhelming – I like that it has a Live Activity, but it did not announce my gate (SAS from Manchester Airport) and it seems to think my flight is still waiting to take off (as I drink tea in my parents’ kitchen back in the motherland). I sent some feedback.

The #VisionPro was amazing on the flight though! Sad to hand it back.

I am travelling tomorrow for once! I was very excited to pack my new kit, and I just got a week of #Flighty Pro to try that out ahead of a future more complex trip.
