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. Flightrax Pro+: everything in Pro, plus the light themes Fjord Light and Pearl Sky. Pro and Pro+ are monthly or yearly subscriptions with a 3-day free trial. The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and can be managed in your App Store account.
