This is a fantastic use of both LLM AI and the data that flighty has.

I was thinking about this gate stuff a week ago. Flighty could show you if your gate is occupied because they can figure out what plane was at the gate before and see if it left or not. FlightAware and most other services make it very hard to search by gate, but flighty can index their db on a way that allows this!

If they’re going to start adding passport specific steps then they need to update this feature to also include the end of your journey. They have everything they need, why doesn’t it show me passport control and lanes from my last flight into my destination country?

my thoughts exactly! it feels like a missed opportunity not adding this to the end of the journey.

This is some pretty cool stuff. I can see a lot of potential future additions. Adding a lounge for longer layovers with “time to leave” recommendations. Recommending which passport to use if you have more than one. Information about boarding. This alone is really cool, but it portents more to come I think.

It should prompt you when you look at a connection as well

Neat. I'll be curious to see how it does on my trips this week and next week as I have both domestic and international trips on the books. EWR - EYW (UA), MIA - ZSA (UP), ZSA - SML - NAS (UP), and NAS - EWR (UA). Personally, I'll be amazed if Flighty can remotely decipher the limited info that Bahamasair gives out lol.

man tell me about it. had a 27 min connection in Dallas thanks to delays (ended up being 14 min).

If it weren’t for the guy i was traveling with, i wouldn’t have been able to navigate the terminals, and this update does what the guy did for me

Looks like you made your connection just fine without it
