🆕 What's new · v9.6.0
*** Version 9.6.0 *** (late February 2026 )
* Searching for flights by Route will now always include the ability to filter by "Duration," "Departure" or "Arrival."
* Fixed an issue when searching alternates for a flight departing in a different time zone than your current location where sometimes not all flights were displayed.
* Fixed a rare issue when searching for alternates did not always show flight duration correctly.
* Minor bug fixes.
Back in April of 2020 we added additional measures to our flight status servers to detect when a flight has been cancelled to give you more advanced notice. Because of the pandemic, flight cancellations have been more frequent and it was clear this addition was necessary.
If you ever have any comments, complaints or compliments, please go into the Prefs screen within the app and tap the "Email the Author" field. You will always get a response in a timely fashion
