A Flighty alternative for flights and hotels
Soar tracks your flights and keeps hotel stays in the same trip. You can also text it for travel help. Compare that workflow with Flighty's free and Pro features.

Track the flight and manage the stay
If your trip includes both a flight and a hotel, Soar keeps the bookings together. Connect Gmail, follow your flight in the app, and ask a question by text. You can also search for a hotel and review its rate and cancellation terms before paying.

Check which tracking features you use
Flighty separates core tracking from Pro features such as delay predictions, calendar sync, and connection guidance. If those tools are part of your routine, compare them directly before changing apps.
Soar's focus is managing the wider trip through its iPhone app and text. This comparison does not measure which app detects a delay first.
