Hello flyers!

Firstly - THANK YOU to all the FT members who have contributed and offered feedback - I am very grateful and it has really helped me progress this project from ‘hobby’ to maybe something bigger.

End of Beta Program
We are going LIVE!! We will close the Beta program to new members on May 31st - as a thank you to our Beta members, on May 31st, we will extend your silver subscription to expire one week after your most recent login. So, if you haven't logged in recently, please do so, take a look at all the new features, and you'll maintain free access for a little longer! We will also offer 50% off your first two months’ subscription - those who are using the app already will have received the code - any new subscribers we will email that on May 31st. (If you have lost the code please message me)

Lounge Directory - There is a brand NEW and fairly rich Lounge Directory and we have big plans for it. Due to the difficulties in getting data, and the inconsistency of data from different providers, we have decided to crowdsource data updates. It's an interesting problem to solve - we have used a concept of 'contracts' to understand who gets access to which lounges, and that's helped us create a single directory and source of truth.

So our subscribed users will be able become lounge 'Curators', and be able to make changes. It is a ‘trust’ system but we figure if you are paying a small amount for a subscription, you are less likely to abuse the system. So - take a look at the lounges in your home airport, become a Curator and either fix any inaccuracy or let us know!! I am particularly pleased that we have included an understanding of BA GGL in our logic!!! I’m hoping our GGL users will flood The Concorde Room lounge with pictures of food and fizz!

Flight bucket Availability - we are still working on adding support for more airlines - meantime we have evolved to a schedule AND availability tool. So if you are looking for a flight from LHR to SFO you will see a complete schedule of operating flights and be able to interact with them all (add to your flight list, look at the Seatmap, and future functionality like tracking). It’s quite a rich user interface and we hope you like it.

There are a million other new features and we push new code every day - you can look at the roadmap and ‘what’s new’ in our new Menu items now.
