The fastest path
You're standing in the airport, see a flight on the FIDS (flight info display), and want it pinned for tracking.
Step-by-step
- Open FlightyFlow.
- Tap + → Search by Flight Number.
- Enter the airline two-letter code + number (e.g., DL 1234).
- Pin → Live Activity starts → done.
Bonus: scan with the camera
In FlightyFlow Pro you can point your camera at the FIDS row and OCR will pull the flight number, route, and time. Especially handy at international airports where the board is in three languages.
