Every flight you take is worth something. Row1 turns your real flights into XP, collectible badges, and competitive leaderboards — finally giving frequent flyers, aviation enthusiasts, and casual travelers a reason to track every takeoff and landing. LOG YOUR FLIGHTS IN SECONDS Add flights by flight number, import from Flighty, Flightradar24, or OpenFlights, scan your calendar for trips, or forward your confirmation emails to flights@row1.app. Row1 looks up your gate, aircraft type, and route when you add a flight. EARN XP FOR EVERYTHING Every flight earns base XP, plus bonuses for new airports, new airlines, new routes, new countries, new continents, red-eye flights, and long-haul journeys. Build a weekly streak to unlock up to a 2x multiplier on all XP earned. Verified flights earn even more. COLLECT OVER 300 BADGES Unlock collectible badges spanning Original milestones, Unicorn rarities, Airline Loyalist achievements, and Boneyard retired-aircraft tributes — each with its own unique badge art. CLIMB 12 RANKS Progress from Passenger to Orbit across 12 distinct tiers, and unlock collectible profile frames as you rack up miles flown. BECOME KING OF THE SKIES This is what Row1 is all about: become King of a route or airport by logging the most flights, then defend your crown against every other flyer. Create or join leagues with custom challenges, and climb monthly, yearly, and all-time leaderboards against friends and the global community. STAY ON TOP OF YOUR FLIGHT Get gate changes, delay alerts, and arrival updates pushed to your phone. Live Activities and Dynamic Island keep your flight status visible without opening the app. FLY WITH FRIENDS Tag companions on shared flights. When they confirm, both earn bonus XP. See friends' recent flights in your activity feed and like their achievements. JOIN COMMUNITY TAGS Create or join hashtag communities like #AvGeek, and check tag leaderboards by XP, flights, or miles. DEEP AVIATION STATS Explore total miles, unique airports, aircraft types flown, time-of-day patterns, route records, and more. See every route you've flown on an interactive globe. YEAR IN REVIEW Look back on your flying with Row1 Wrapped — quarterly check-ins free for everyone, plus a full year-in-review every January.
