How to export your Flighty flights (and what to do with the file)

The short answer: Flighty can export every flight you have logged as one CSV file. In the iPhone app it is under Settings, Account Data, Export Your Flights. The file opens in any spreadsheet, and flight logs that read Flighty files can turn it straight into maps and stats.

Where the export is

Open Flighty on your iPhone, go to Settings, then Account Data, then Export Your Flights. Flighty puts all your flights into a single CSV file, usually named something like FlightyExport-2026-10-20.csv. Save it to Files or send it to yourself by email so you can open it on a computer too.

Flighty does not publish help for its export (its help centre covers importing), and the menu has moved between versions. If you do not see Account Data, look for Export in Settings. Flighty's own import page is here for reference: Flighty: importing flights.

What is in the file

One row per flight, with far more than the route:

• The flight: date, airline, flight number, departure and arrival airports.
• The times: scheduled and actual gate and runway times, in each airport's local time.
• The plane: aircraft type and, when Flighty knew it, the tail number.
• Your seat: seat number, window, middle or aisle, and cabin class.
• The rest: booking reference, terminal and gate, whether it was for work or leisure, cancellations and diversions.

Airlines appear as their three-letter ICAO codes (BAW for British Airways, UAL for United), which is what flight-log apps expect. Keep the file as Flighty made it: edited files are the usual reason an import goes wrong.

Turning it into a lifetime travel log

TripStow reads Flighty's file as it is. In the app, go to Add, then Import, and choose the file. It recognises a Flighty export by its columns, so there is nothing to map. Every flight becomes part of your lifetime travel stats and lands on your scratch-off map, and flights close together are grouped into trips.

What comes across:

• Real times, not just the timetable. Where Flighty recorded when you actually left and landed, those are kept, along with the scheduled times, so delays show up in your stats.
• The exact planes. Tail numbers fill your Hangar, with every aircraft you have flown and when you caught the same one twice.
• Seats and cabins, which count towards badges such as Window Watcher and First Class Citizen.
• Cancelled flights are left out, so they do not count towards your distance or countries.

You can import the same file again later, for example after a few more trips. Flights already in TripStow are recognised and matched, so nothing is doubled. If a flight uses a newly opened airport that is not in the airport list yet, the import report says which rows it could not place.

What you get that Flighty does not show

• Your whole history, free. Flighty needs Pro for flights older than a year; TripStow keeps every flight you import on the free plan.
• A map of every country, coloured by whether you arrived by air, sea or land.
• Whole trips, not just flights. Hotels, trains and cruises sit in the same trip, built from your booking emails.
• Android and the web, as well as the iPhone app.

Keep using Flighty

There is no need to choose. Flighty is excellent on the day of travel, and TripStow is built for the record you keep for years: every trip, hotel and cruise, built from your forwarded booking emails, with your countries, badges and share cards. Export from Flighty now and then, import the file, and both stay complete.
