CrewParent Live answers one question: when can I call my loved one? We never ask for your airline login — only your schedule. Crew connect their schedule from their crew scheduling calendar (or, for some airlines, a calendar file they upload), or enter a trip themselves. Family and friends they invite see a clear overview of flights, layovers, availability, basic flight progress and the trip home. - Overview: where your crew member is, their availability, the next activity, the layover, and getting home. - Live: the current flight's progress with departure and landing times and delays. - Family: a simple view for kids that shows when a parent is coming home. - Notifications tell family members connected by invite code about schedule changes, flight progress and a good time to call. Quiet hours silence schedule alerts overnight. - Home Screen widget: see the selected crew's status without opening the app. - Follow more than one crew, including crew at other airlines. CrewParent Live only reads your schedule — from Apple Calendar, a calendar file you upload, or trips you enter yourself. Built by and for airline crews and their families. Plans: Individual and Family, monthly or yearly, each with a 2-week free trial. Trip updates and flight alerts are part of the subscription. The Family plan covers your Apple Family Sharing group. Payment is charged to your Apple ID after the trial unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends; subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings. CrewParent Live is for general awareness only and is not for operational decisions. CrewParent Live LLC is not affiliated with any airline, air carrier, or union. Flight status includes data © FlightAware; CrewParent Live is not affiliated with FlightAware. Flight times and flight alerts come from FlightAware and can arrive a few minutes after the event.
