United's app now shows a personalized flight history, echoing Flighty's features so closely that Flighty itself called it out on social media.
On a related note have you/would you ever post your flighty history? Would be insanely cool to see!
For flight history, you should also look at flightmemory.com. If one has tracked their flights, they are shareable via the app. I've used flightmemory.com for a couple of decades now.
Flighty also integrates with them, so one can export the flightmemory.com trips into Flighty by downloading each page and saving as an HTML file. Cumbersome, but it works. What glitches out, though, is if there's an airport code Flighty doesn't recognize. Whet that happens, Flighty chokes, and it's a PITA to fix it for past flights.
Mine has been flightdiary.net which then got bought by and folded into flightradar24.com
I love Flighty. It's the best app for planning and tracking, hands down.
I love Flighty, both for how useful it is tracking your current and future flights, and for its passport feature for tracking flight history. Worth paying for the subscription (I did a Lifetime sub a while back).
A lot of work and investment underpins such innovations.
A decade ago, United Airlines operated on a rigid infrastructure anchored by aging, on-premises data centers and legacy mainframe systems. These green-screen programs made pushing updates slow and left the airline struggling to adapt when severe weather or scheduling disruptions hit.
To break free from these constraints, United launched a massive cloud-first migration, shutting down three major on-premises data centers and shifting over 80% of its workload to AWS. United modernized its core mainframes adopting high-speed software delivery tools, slashed software deployment times by 75% and saved an estimated $2 billion. The monolithic codebase was completely rearchitected into global microservices, allowing developers to roll out features twice as fast as their competitors.
This backend overhaul completely transformed the passenger and employee experience. United rebuilt its mobile app around the traveler's journey, introducing features like bag-drop shortcuts, real-time luggage tracking, and virtual "Agent on Demand" customer service. On the tarmac and in the skies, United connected its fleet to AWS IoT Core, streaming 28 GB of data per minute from 20,000 aircraft sensors to predict maintenance issues before they caused delays. Today, that cloud foundation supports generative and agentic AI tools that automatically resolve regional flight incidents in minutes, completing United's decade-long evolution from a legacy carrier into a cloud-native digital leader.
