byAir vs. Air France

Keep Air France for official travel actions. Add byAir for the journey across airlines.

The Air France app handles booking, check-in, boarding passes, seats, travel extras, Flying Blue, and official flight updates. It can also show where an inbound aircraft is coming from on supported trips.

byAir complements it with one timeline across carriers, independent provider context, cross-airline history and statistics, and early delay signals on eligible flights.

One official app. One independent trip view.

Air France controls its booking, airline documents, and Flying Blue services. byAir connects that flight with partners, separate reservations, and the rest of the journey.

Add byAir to your travel stack

Your airline app manages the booking. byAir watches the journey.

What byAir users say

Jose M Iturralde

Super easy and friendly app to track your flights, family, and friends. I use it when going to pick someone up at the airport too. Super useful, with lots of airport info.

Hardeep Singh

This is the best traveling and tracking app I have ever used. So easy and convenient. Everything is synchronized in one place.

Janet Osborne (JaLyn)

Excellent app for keeping track of my flights during an arctic freeze snowstorm. It kept me updated on delays and cancellations and helped keep my stress low.

Eli Lopez

Easy to add flights and track real-time delays before the airlines report them at the airport. So far it’s been great!

James Muri

I find that sometimes airlines don’t notify you about flight changes, but byAir is trustworthy in sending me flight information.

Drew Srk

This app transformed the way I travel. It gives me real-time flight updates, helps me navigate airports, and sends timely gate-change alerts.
