byAir vs. Airline Apps

One app for all your flights. Every airline. Every trip.

Airline apps are built to sell you tickets. byAir is built to get you where you're going.

Your Delta app doesn't know about your Lufthansa connection. Your United app won't warn you that your inbound plane is delayed. And none of them will help you when you're flying three airlines in one trip.

Airline apps are designed around loyalty programs, seat upgrades, and booking flows. Flight tracking is an afterthought — and it shows. Delays often go unannounced until the last minute because airlines are busy managing crew logistics, rebooking passengers, and keeping the gate calm. They're not in a rush to tell you what's wrong.

byAir is different. We pull data from multiple aviation sources — often delivering alerts before your airline does. We track every flight on every airline in one place. And we go beyond tracking: trip planning, document storage, airport guides, and automatic booking import from your email.

Your airline app is for boarding passes. byAir is for everything else.

What byAir users say

Vortex

Thank you really much for this superb app. All other similar apps are flooded with ads or pay to gain benefits. This is the first one that does beautifully its duty without greed.

Adham Elkordy

Overall best flight tracker app I have used ft. No Ads, Clean UI, Live Activities, Perfectly Optimised.

Kendryck Duran

This is a really good app for aviation fans and frequent flyers. It's nice to be told when you can possibly arrive and be told the gate, carousel, and terminal changes.

Finally deleted the Delta, United, and AA apps from my home screen. byAir shows all my flights in one place and the alerts are faster than any airline app I've used.

Yoshio Tsaon

The notification and the list of flights are clear and super useful to keep you posted. The support team responds quickly and demonstrates excellent problem-solving skills.

Flew JetBlue → Iberia → TAP last month. My airline apps were useless for seeing the full picture. byAir had everything in one trip view with all the alerts I needed.
