The first rule of FA Flight Club... is you DO talk about FA Flight Club. Built by flight attendants, for flight attendants - the private crew lounge that lives in your phone. It's a fun way to compete with team mates for the most Legs, Hours, Miles flown. WHAT'S INSIDE Flight Logger - Tap a few buttons and you're done. We auto-calc your block time, delays, equipment, and stats. Past flights pre-fill from your history so logging is one-handed and fast - even on bad hotel Wi-Fi at 2am. Boards & Leaderboards Climb by legs, miles, aircraft claimed, and the new Layover Boss crown for the FA with the most 10+ hour layovers each month. Monthly resets. Monthly bragging rights. Optional prizes. Destinations Found a great taco spot near the LAX hotel? Drop a pin. See what your crew has already scouted. Notes, photos, ratings - all crew-only, all private. BY INVITATION ONLY FA Flight Club is a private community. You'll need an invitation from an existing member, or to request one inside the app, to gain access. Every new member is reviewed before approval. If you've downloaded the app and don't have an invitation yet, tap "Request Access" on the welcome screen. WHY WE BUILT THIS Because nothing out there is for us. Aviation apps are built for pilots, for ops, for the operations control center. FA Flight Club is the first app built FOR the Flight Attendants. We're road warriors. We deserve our own lounge. PRIVACY, FIRST Your logbook is yours. We don't sell your data. We don't track you across other apps. We don't share your flight history with anyone - not the airlines, not advertisers, nobody. Dark mode by default. Battery-friendly. Built to be offline-resilient because hotel Wi-Fi is a war crime. Welcome to the club.
