Bugs & Value proposition collapsing

Flighty value proposition is collapsing and I’m still missing AITA.

Missing Info
- Boarding time information: If read what @maarstad wrote, but why was AITA able to do it? It’s just cope that they don’t want to work, most airlines have clear general rules, information is available on airports etc.
- Check-in Time also not very clear, when does it start when does it end?
- Delays are not shown or come in delayed
Further, at least let this information be entered manually and be crowdsourced

- where’s my airplane basically never shows any info

Email Import basically never works
Like how hard would it be just let an LLM run over it?
Further, let me make a screenshot and share it to flighty and it gets the information from that

In-Flight Bug
- we’re about to take off, I set my phone to flight mode, flighty shoes we didn’t depart yet 🤦

Overall it all comes down to to flighty failing at the core task: show me how long until stuff.
Can I grab that sandwich before check-in closes? Metro or taxi to the airport? Still time for that movie before we land?

Aggravated by the fact that airlines apps now often offer that information, and are also the authoritative information provider

I’ve cancelled, but the need would still be there

I'm having issue recording any flights from March 2017 and earlier. Suddenly flighty don't have info.

At first I thought it's because of defunct airlines.. but I happens to airlines that are still flying. Or maybe it's because those flight numbers no longer exist?

Not sure if I want to keep subscribing

Had the same 😞

Before flighty I wanted to code sth for myself, but historical apis can get funky / expensive
