Jet Window
01 / AT THE AIRPORTYour gate.
Your gate.
Impossible to miss.
A big, clear gate number. The terminal beside it. Boarding guidance where you can actually find it.
For the flight. And the window seat.
Your next move,
already in view.
Your gate before boarding. Your baggage claim when you land. The view worth staying awake for. A flight tracker that knows what matters next.
Expected September 18. For iPhone and iPad. A pre-order costs nothing and installs itself on release day.
Before takeoff, the gate leads the screen.
Less searching. More knowing.
Built around the moment.
The information you need changes as you travel. Your flight screen changes with it.
02 / READY TO BOARDScan it. Save it.
Scan it. Save it.
Show it.
Add your boarding pass. Pull up the barcode without a signal, with your seat and window side right there.
03 / WHEELS DOWNFind your bag.
Find your bag.
Then your way out.
Baggage claim moves to the top after your final flight. Get the belt, terminal and a step-by-step arrival guide.
Included free
Gate and baggage information appear when published. If an assignment is missing, Jet Window says so.
The story behind the status
“Delayed” is
only the beginning.
See the aircraft your flight is waiting on, the conditions at the airport and what they could mean for you. First Class brings it together in a plain-English AI brief.
Follow your inbound aircraft First Class
Has it landed, is it still airborne, or has it not left yet? See the missing piece behind your departure time.
Read the airport, not just the forecast
Airport delay readings, weather radar and decoded airport broadcasts give you context beyond a departure board.
Standby, worth asking for First Class
When your flight is slipping, the flights that would actually land you earlier, and the sentence to say at the desk.
What your airline promised in writing
When the trouble is the airline's own doing, a card lists what it has committed to do for you tonight, a meal, a hotel, a rebooking, and what it has not. Read it to the agent.
Get the explanation First Class
The AI flight brief interprets flight status and weather in everyday language, with the details that matter to your trip.
Coverage and update timing vary by source. AI interpretations can be wrong. Always confirm important changes with your airline.
First Class / AI flight brief
For the reason you chose the window
The best part of flying
isn't on your screen.
Know which side to sit on, when the light turns golden and what to look for below. Then put your phone to the window.
- SUNRISE
- DAYLIGHT
- SUNSET
- BLUE HOUR
- NIGHT
- AURORA
Pick the side with the view.
Left or right, with a reason. See the sun's side of the cabin, golden hour, blue hour and aurora opportunities on qualifying routes.
Keep the flight in the photograph.
Stamp your window shot with its flight, location, altitude and light. Crop, straighten and share without sending the photograph off your phone.
Build a collection worth revisiting.
Find your window photographs by airline, flight number, or a search as simple as “sunsets.”
Window seat + photography. Both free.
For the love of flying
Every tail number
has a story.
Meet the airplane taking you there, with a photograph of the actual airframe and a history of its type. Tap the airline to get to know the carrier, too.
Want the cockpit detail? Turn on AVgeek mode for raw weather reports and cockpit instruments.
Prefer a calmer flight? The calm kit names the sounds and bumps, with a breathing guide for the moments you need it.
Included free
The app
What it actually looks like.
Captured in the current build, whole, in daylight and at night. Nothing on this page is arranged except the one photo card, and it says so.
Scroll sideways for more.

Can I bring my Flighty history?
Yes. Import Flighty's CSV export and review what was found before saving. It is free and requires a Jet Window account to save the flights. The file stays on your phone; the flights you choose to add are saved to your account.

About
Made by two people who fly.
Two roommates from Dartmouth College built it: one a physician and a software company executive, the other an engineer, architect and executive in tech. Both have been window seat people all their lives. Jet Window is independent, reads no email, sells no data, and says so when it does not know.
Where the information comes from

Availability and timing differ by flight, airport and source. Live information can be late or wrong. The airport monitors and your airline have the final word.
What it never does
It never reads your email; you paste or share a confirmation yourself. It never sends a window photograph off your phone. A shared flight link says what it gives away before it is made, and stops working when you say so.
Know your flight.
Enjoy your window.
Jet Window for iPhone and iPad, expected September 18. A pre-order costs nothing and arrives on its own.
