The best OpenFlights alternatives in 2026
OpenFlights is a free, community-built flight log that is still online and still gets the odd fix. But it is web only, its FAQ says it does not work well on tablets, and its own airline, airport and route data dates from 2012 to 2017.
These apps keep a flight log on your phone, and most can import your OpenFlights history: export it from Settings, then Export to CSV. TripStow made this page and is one of the apps listed, so every description is factual and cited.

TripStow
Best for moving an OpenFlights log to your phone and keeping it current from booking emails.
TripStow imports an OpenFlights CSV export, removes duplicates and groups flights into trips, then keeps the log current from the booking emails you forward. It adds the tail number of each plane, a scratch-off world map, badges and a year in review. It works on iPhone, Android and the web as an installable web app.
myFlightradar24
Best for staying on the web with a similar logbook.
myFlightradar24 imports from OpenFlights directly, and keeps a route map and stats on airports, aircraft and CO2, with CSV export. Like OpenFlights, it has no mobile app.[4]
Flighty
Best for a flight log with live tracking, if you only use Apple devices.
Flighty imports original OpenFlights files into its Passport flight log. Flights from the past year import free; older ones need Pro. It has no Android version.[5][6][7]
JetLovers
Best for logging flights automatically from Swarm check-ins, on iPhone.
JetLovers builds your log from Swarm (Foursquare) airport check-ins, with a map and 3D globe, and can import CSV files. Its last app update was in September 2024.[8]
FlightMemory
Best for another long-running web logbook.
FlightMemory has kept flight logs on the web since 2007, with a printed poster of your flights available to buy. OpenFlights can import FlightMemory files.[2][9]
How we chose
We looked at flight logs that suit people outgrowing OpenFlights, mostly for a phone app, and checked which can import its CSV export. Facts come from each app's own website, help pages or UK App Store listing on 9 October 2026, cited below.
OpenFlights itself is free, with optional Elite donations from $12 a year that remove ads and reminders. Its airport data is dated January 2017, airlines January 2012 and routes June 2014, which it describes as of historical value only.
Questions people ask
- Is OpenFlights still working?
- Yes. The site is online and its September 2026 notice says password reset emails work again. Its public airline and route data has not been updated for years.
- How do I export my OpenFlights flights?
- Sign in to openflights.org, open Settings and choose Export to CSV. TripStow, Flighty and myFlightradar24 can all import that file.
- Is there an OpenFlights app for my phone?
- No. OpenFlights is a website, and its FAQ says it does not work well on tablets. TripStow works on iPhone and Android as an installable web app.
- Can I see my OpenFlights stats without signing up?
- Yes. TripStow's flight log stats tool reads an OpenFlights export in your browser and shows lifetime stats, without uploading the file or creating an account.
