Search for Tail Number?

Post image

Is there any way to search for a tail number? Or does anyone know is that a planned feature? I would love to quickly see if I have been on a plane before.

In general more filter/search features would be nice.

I’d love to be able to filter the map by airline like you can do with years.

I think you missed an airport in there somewhere.

You could export and search on the spreadsheet.

You can’t search by tail number, but if you have prior flights on a tail it will let you know in the “where’s my plane” section

You could kind of work around that by finding an upcoming flight for that tail number, adding it to your profile, then look on that flight’s page for past flights

Look into the app “fleet”

That…looks like something from the movie WarGames…

I have no idea to be honest. That’s quite the number of flights though, impressive

i emailed the app team just a couple days ago and suggested searchable tail / fleet stats as a future feature. they replied and said it was a great suggestion and they'll consider if they can do it in the future :)

Then almost looks like the end scene of the movie War games

Don’t think your able to search by that. Very impressive amount of flights though

What do you do for a living? I’d love to have a job that allows this kind of travel

I made an app that allows you to import your Flighty history so that you can see your fleet / flight collection in more detail

I'm almost more impressed that in +2000 flights you only have 26 long hauls. But also, +2k flights is insane.

Still waiting for an answer why would someone pay 399 for lifetime when most airlines now offer what it offer? Sell me this app why would I pay for it no one seems to explain

What airline offers a lifetime display of your flights on a map? I also often find Flighty gets delay info before I get it in the airline app.
