How much do you Fly? Let’s talk numbers…
I’ve been using the
@flightyapp for a couple of weeks now and recently upgraded to Pro, and honestly, it might be the most impressive and genuinely useful app I have on my phone.
Flighty automatically looked back through my calendar and emails all the way to 2008, (when I got my first iPhone) and quietly found every flight I’ve taken since.
The result blew my mind 👇
✈️1,764 flights
✈️ Over 2,000,000 miles flown
✈️ That’s the equivalent of flying to the Moon more than 8 times (one way) 🌕
It also worked out that I spend around 3.5 days a week on aircraft, which means I’ve spent roughly 50% of my life in the air over the past 17 years.
So here’s the part for anyone who’s nervous about flying:
In 1,764 flights, (as a passenger) I’ve experienced one engine failure, and it was the most calm, controlled, benign non-event you could imagine. Training, redundancy, procedures. Aviation is built on safety, and the numbers don’t lie.
✨ Why Flighty is brilliant
Whether you’re a frequent flyer, flight crew, or you only fly once or twice a year, Flighty is a game-changer:
• Automatically detects your flights (no manual entry)
• Live tracking, delay predictions & gate changes
• Weather impact alerts before airlines even announce delays
• Incredible stats on miles, routes, aircraft & time spent flying
• Easy trip sharing so friends & family can follow your journey
Flying isn’t just safe, it’s extraordinarily safe.
And Flighty is a brilliant reminder of just how reliable modern aviation really is.
If flying worries you… trust the data ✈️
It’s carried me throughout my adult life, 3.5 flights each week! safely, EVERY single time.
