Flighty is very pretty, but I’m not giving up FlightAware anytime soon.

I travel a lot, and frequently encounter flight delays. It’s mind boggling difficult to find out where my plane is when it’s delayed via Flighty. This and a few other things, FlightAware gets right.

I feel like Flighty is for rare leisure traveler and FlightAware is for weekly business and/or pilot traveler.

I’ve honestly had better luck with iOS built in flight tracker than Flighty itself.

Re: transition to micro services (from monolith).

I’m surprised a network so sensitive to latency (as are payment networks), was able to achieve their latency SLAs with micro services.

Maybe Amex being a closed-loop network helps with latency?
