FlightView has unveiled the newest features to its customer-favorite iPhone app: calendar integration, self-service help and in-flight details.
Whether traveling for business or leisure, FlightView’s new functionality powers iPhone users to manage travel by integrating their flight and travel data directly into their smartphone’s calendar. FlightView’s new calendar feature provides users with the option of entering flight information into the calendar on a flight-by-flight or trip-by-trip basis, as opposed to an all-or-nothing proposition, which can drain battery life and overpopulate the calendar. FlightView also offers an additional customization option, enabling users to assign a flight or trip to their work, home, or some other personalized calendar.
Along with becoming the first major flight-tracking app to offer customized calendar integration, FlightView for the iPhone provides accurate and actionable flight data, updating users with gate, arrival, and departure information in real-time-”while preventing double booking. Additional new features include:
- Air-Travel Help Section: Avoid the long lines at the airline kiosk with tips from the travel experts, including flight tracking advice, flight status definitions and an all new Frequently Asked Questions section.
- In-Air Flight Details: Check out a plane’s position, speed and altitude on the industry’s most advanced map.
“In the best of circumstances, air travel can be extremely stressful -“ especially when managing multiple flights and appointments,” says Mike Benjamin, CEO of FlightView. “Our loyal customers asked for calendar integration, and we are proud to be one of the first iPhone flight-tracking apps to offer this capability.”
