Flighty Alternative for Android: What to Use Instead

On this page

Flighty does not have an Android app. Its supported platforms page lists iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple Vision, and says there are currently no plans for an Android version. On Android, the closest replacements are Aviate and byAir if you want a dedicated flight tracker, FlightAware or Flightradar24 if you want a free tracker for a single flight, and Tineo if you want your flights next to the rest of your trip.

Tineo publishes this guide, and Tineo is one of the options below. Everything said here about another app comes from that app’s own website or its Google Play listing, all read on November 13, 2026. We have not run a side by side test of these apps, so this guide compares what each company says it offers.

Is Flighty available on Android?

No. Flighty says its app works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple Vision. Under Android, the same page says “Not today” and that the company does not currently have plans for an Android version, though it is “always reevaluating the opportunity.”

Flighty also keeps an Android waitlist page where you can leave your email. That page says the company has no immediate plans for an Android version. A waitlist is not a release date, so if you fly this year you need something else.

Which Android apps can replace Flighty?

The table shows what each company states on its own site or Google Play listing. “Not stated” means the page we read does not say.

App	What it is	On Android	Cost, as stated	Also on iPhone
Aviate	Flight tracker built for Android	Yes, on Google Play	Free plan described as free forever. Pro adds more. Prices not stated on its site.	Not yet. Its site says an iOS version is in development.
byAir	Flight tracker with a flight history	Yes, on Google Play	Not stated on the pages we read	Yes
FlightAware	Live flight tracker	Yes, on Google Play	Free to install, with in-app purchases	Not checked for this guide
Flightradar24	Live map of aircraft in the air	Yes, on Google Play	Free to install, with in-app purchases	Not checked for this guide
Tineo	Itinerary organizer for the whole trip	Yes, on Google Play	Free plan. Ultra is $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year.	Yes

Aviate

Aviate is the app most often described as Flighty for Android, and it is the only one here made for Android first. Its site says it is available now on Google Play and that an iOS version is in development. Google Play lists its release date as July 18, 2026.

What it does better: the free plan. Aviate says the free plan costs nothing “forever” and includes core flight tracking, gate change updates, packing checklists, home screen widgets and calendar sync, with no ads. Pro adds airport indoor navigation, live flight notifications, delay predictions, public flight sharing and live air traffic control audio. Pro is sold as a yearly subscription, a short pass or a lifetime purchase. The site does not list prices, so check the app.

What to check first: it is a young app, and live flight notifications sit in Pro, not in the free plan. Its site says you add a flight by flight number or by scanning a boarding pass, and does not mention importing a Flighty export.

byAir

byAir is a flight tracker on both Android and iPhone. Its site lists push notifications, Live Updates on Android, widgets, inbound aircraft tracking, delay predictions, and automatic scanning of your email and calendar for flights. It also keeps a flight history, and it has a page for people who came from App in the Air.

What it does better: it works on both platforms, so a family or team split between Android and iPhone can use the same app. Inbound aircraft tracking and delay predictions are the features closest to what Flighty is known for.

What to check first: the pages we read do not state prices or which features are paid, so look at the Google Play listing before you rely on a feature.

FlightAware and Flightradar24

Both are long-standing live flight trackers with Android apps that are free to install and sell extras inside the app. FlightAware’s listing describes push alerts for a flight you follow. Flightradar24 is best known for its live map of aircraft.

What they do better: they are free to start, and they are good for watching one flight, such as a plane you are meeting at the airport. They are trackers for any flight, not a record of your own travel, so they do less to organize your trips.

What about TripIt?

TripIt is an itinerary organizer with an Android app. You forward confirmation emails to it and it builds a trip. It is closer to Tineo than to Flighty, and it is a reasonable choice if you already use it. Our TripIt comparison covers it in detail.

Which one should you pick?

• You want the closest thing to Flighty and you only use Android: start with Aviate’s free plan.
• You want delay predictions and inbound aircraft tracking, or you travel with iPhone users: look at byAir.
• You only need to watch one flight now and then: FlightAware or Flightradar24 is enough.
• You want flights, hotels, car rentals and trains in one timeline: use an itinerary organizer such as Tineo or TripIt, and add a tracker next to it if you want more detail on the day you fly.

You do not have to pick one. A tracker and an organizer do different jobs, and many travelers keep both. Our guide to flight status alerts explains which alerts come from the airline and which come from a tracker.

Can you move your Flighty flight history?

If you used Flighty on an iPhone and are moving to Android, export your flights before you switch phones. Flighty can export your flights as a CSV file. In the version our import guide was written against, the option is under Account Data, then Export Your Flights.

Tineo reads that file. Sign in at tineo.ai in a browser, open the Flighty import page and upload the CSV. Tineo turns the flights in the file into trips. The steps are in the help guide Import your Flighty flight history.

The Aviate and byAir pages we read do not say whether they import a Flighty export. If your flight history matters to you, ask them before you commit.

Where does Tineo fit?

Tineo is an itinerary organizer, not a dedicated flight tracker, so it replaces part of what Flighty does.

What it does: it turns booking confirmation emails into one trip timeline covering flights, lodging, car rentals, trains and activities. It shows live departure and arrival status where flight data is available, and it can email you when a flight it monitors changes. Itineraries can sync for offline use. It runs on the web, iOS and Android. On Android, its Google Play listing describes nine home screen widgets and a Wear OS companion app that shows what is next, today’s plans and saved flight and hotel details. It also imports a Flighty CSV export, as described above.

What it does not do: it is not built for following one aircraft minute by minute. If inbound aircraft tracking or delay predictions are the main thing you valued in Flighty, byAir or Aviate is the closer match. Tineo also does not book travel.

Tineo has a free plan. Tineo Ultra costs $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. The pricing page lists what each plan includes.

If you want your next trip in one place, try Tineo free and forward one confirmation email to start.
