“How much longer until we land?” See your countdown at a glance. Flight Countdown puts the time until departure or arrival right on your iPhone’s Home Screen and Lock Screen. Keep your next flight in view, check your countdown in airplane mode, and build a personal logbook of your travels—all without creating an account. From your next vacation to your regular business trips, make every flight easier to follow and worth remembering. HOME SCREEN & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Check the time until departure before your flight and the time until arrival while you’re in the air—without opening the app. Choose small or medium Home Screen widgets to fit your layout. Automatically show your next flight, or select a specific flight for each widget on iOS 17 or later. Tap a widget to open that flight’s countdown in the app. KNOW HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT Enter your scheduled departure and arrival times to start your countdown. See how much time remains at a glance, whether you’re deciding to watch another movie, read a few more chapters, or get some rest. Spend less time checking the clock and more time enjoying the journey. WORKS IN AIRPLANE MODE Your saved flight countdowns work without an internet connection. No in-flight Wi-Fi or cellular service is needed to check the time remaining. A useful travel companion, even when you’re offline.
