A quotation from Carlyle

   The last quality, perseverance, I particularly respect: it is the very hinge of all virtues. — On looking over the world, the cause of nine parts in ten of the lamentable failures which occur in men’s undertakings & darken and degrade so much of their history, lies not in the want of talents or the will to use them, but in the vacillating and desultory mode of using them — in flying from object to object, in starting away at each little disgust, and thus applying the force which might conquer any one difficulty to a series of difficulties so large that no human force can conquer them.
   The smallest brook on earth, by continual running, has hollowed out for itself a considerable valley to flow in: the wildest tempest, by its occasional raging, over-turns a few cottages, uproots a few trees, and leaves after a short space no mark behind it. Commend me therefore to the Dutch virtue of perseverance! Without it all the rest are little better than fairy gold, which glitters in your purse, but when taken to the market proves to be — slate or cinders.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Letter (1822-03-15) to John Carlyle

I did some traveling this year! ✈️
#flighty #FlightyPassport #travel

if there’s an award for best crafted all time app, it deserves to go to #flighty – always helpful, so well made, nice design, perfect stats and everything 🩶

I was cutting things fine getting to Haneda Airport and trusted #flighty on which terminal to go to for my JAL flight from the train. Oops - this is the first time it’s got it wrong! I took the free bus between terminals and still got there on time.

Trying #Flighty Pro again for a trip and this time the experience is a lot better! (Last time it never told me the gate or knew I had landed.)

Got informed about delays well before the airport info boards, got the gate number a good 30 mins before it was announced (so plenty of seats to choose from), and could follow the flight as it arrived.

#Flighty Pro was underwhelming – I like that it has a Live Activity, but it did not announce my gate (SAS from Manchester Airport) and it seems to think my flight is still waiting to take off (as I drink tea in my parents’ kitchen back in the motherland). I sent some feedback.

The #VisionPro was amazing on the flight though! Sad to hand it back.

I am travelling tomorrow for once! I was very excited to pack my new kit, and I just got a week of #Flighty Pro to try that out ahead of a future more complex trip.

I spent almost a week of my life on a plane this year... lots of adventures but I don't really recommend it 😂
#travel #flighty

@saramg

And also #Flighty. That’s my go-to flight tracker. Brilliant app!

Gee, I wonder if ORD is my home airport? 🤔😄

My #Flighty year in review.

a good look at how I destroyed the planet 🛩️💨🌍🔥🥲 especially with most flights in 2017 #Flighty

Can’t reveal my end of year stats yet, since it’s not the end of the year, but really appreciate the update on the aircraft tail stats with my flights @Flighty. I love seeing the last time I was on it. #flighty

I’ve never flown to Europe from the west coast at such a southern latitude. It’s always been closer to the great circle over the northern Hudson Bay and Greenland. The jetstream over the USA is no joke right now. #AvGeek #Flighty https://earth.nullschool.net/#2023/12/03/0000Z/wind/isobaric/250hPa/orthographic=-92.22,57.88,268

Got half a dozen flights in the next few weeks, so been using the free version of #Flighty. Gee it’s great, would definitely go Pro if I flew more often.

Current springboard. Doing and doing it again, thanks to @BasicAppleGuy.
Still not satisfied.
Some apps are beautiful and I want to see them, even I don't use them that much (surely not enough to lock a spot, like #Flighty). #Ivory is hidden while it's beautiful too...
No, really, I'm not satisfied at all.
But hey, "Phone" is back.

I’m in the dark. Not getting any information on my flight with #Flighty. Guess I’ll have to use Company apps to track it.

Is #Flighty still the only flight tracking app that takes advantage of Lock Screen Live Activities? Not a fan of the yearly charge. #ios #iphone

Any #travellers want to give me their app recommendations for tracking all the details of their travels?
I currently use #Tripit and #AppInTheAir but hoping to consolidate
Tried #flighty but their monthly fee is just too high.

#flighty really is excellent. Even with a delayed #qantas flight.

@mike wow, 36 flights, means at least 1 / month. ✈️

The blacklight passport in #flighty is sooo good. Can’t stop to tilt my phone.

In my life, I visited quite a lot of places #flighty

Here’s a look at #Flighty Pro on the #iOS lock screen showing in-flight updates over #JetBlue Wi-Fi. It’s really powerful and useful! (Bonus #Overcast app!!)

Live in flight tracking in the #iPhone14Pro #DynamicIsland in #Flighty app is totally cool! Most flights now include free #iOS messaging over Wi-Fi and these updates work through that channel. Definitely worth buying Flighty Pro!
