About

Flightrax

Flightrax follows your flights from gate to baggage belt — with a live map, Lock Screen cards and alerts that say what is actually happening. • Alerts before the airline: we watch the aircraft that will fly you and tell you when it is running late — often before the board does. • Lock Screen card (Live Activity): phase, progress, countdown, gate and baggage belt — in the airline's own livery. • Nordic depth: 210 airports, including every Norwegian short-runway airport up to Finnmark and Svalbard, all Swedavia airports, Denmark, Finland and Iceland — plus London, Amsterdam, Spain, Greece, Vienna, Dublin, Zurich, Istanbul and more. • Radar: thousands of aircraft live on the map, trails coloured by altitude. • Calendar scan: flights in your calendar are added automatically (optional). • Friends: see each other's trips, collect flight hours, levels and frames. • Pass: your statistics — flights, airports, kilometres, hours, year by year. • Seat map, aircraft type and registration for your flight. Alerts are honest: "go to gate", "boarding", "gate closing", "descent started" (measured, not guessed), "bags on belt N". Free: map and radar, every board and search, your log and one active flight. Flightrax Pro: unlimited tracking, every alert, the Lock Screen card, friends, calendar sync, full statistics and the Northern Lights, Midnight Sun and Stealth themes.
