NomadPoint
vs Flighty

Looking for a Flighty alternative? Flighty is the best app for the flight. NomadPoint is for everything around it.

Flighty

Flighty is a live flight tracker, and the best one there is: inbound aircraft, delay prediction and gate changes, often ahead of the airline. It is not a trip planner and does not try to be. NomadPoint plans the whole trip the flight belongs to: stays, activities and travel days on one timeline, plus the visa and passport rules that decide how long you can stay once you land. These are complementary, and using both is the sensible setup.

Where it wins

Live flight status, delays and gate changes, often before the airline
Inbound aircraft tracking so you see a delay coming
Beautiful flight history and statistics
Vastly more proven: 146,406 US ratings against our 3
💳 Flighty is free to download with a Flighty Pro subscription for live data. NomadPoint is free to download and use. NomadPoint Pro is optional ($2.99/week, $7.99/month, $59.99/year, or $149.99 once) and unlocks the advanced planning and document features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is NomadPoint an alternative to Flighty?

No, and we would not claim to be. Flighty is a live flight tracker and it is the best one available, with far more history and far more users than us. NomadPoint plans the trip the flight sits inside and tracks the visa and passport rules for it. They solve different problems and work well together.

Does NomadPoint track flight delays?

NomadPoint shows your flights on your trip timeline with routes, times and time-zone shifts at each stop. For live delay prediction and gate changes, Flighty is the better tool and we would point you at it.

Does Flighty track visas or how long I can stay?

No. Flighty is focused on flights and does not calculate entry allowances or passport validity. That is the gap NomadPoint is built for.
