Flighty (Free with Premium Option)
Flight tracking app Flighty offers Live Events to keep an eye on upcoming and ongoing flights. The Live Event app shows on the Lock Screen three hours before a flight and displays essential information such as time to departure, gate, flight status, reservation code, seat number and more.
After takeoff, the app includes an offline progress bar that lets you know how much time is left on the flight. On the iPhone 14 Pro models, the Dynamic Island integration lists flight information at the top of the iPhone whenever there is a critical update, such as a delay. The Dynamic Island Live Activity also displays the departure countdown and house number while other apps are in use.
The Live Event is available for free on the first flight, but Pro membership required after that. Flighty Pro is priced at $5.99 per month or $49.99 per year.
