Default Commuting Websites/Apps

Hey Everyone,

I'm getting back into the airline world after working elsewhere for a few years.

During my last stint, passrider was really the only website to go to. While it still looks like a good resource, any thing else available?

Thanks!

Take a look at the app Flight Update Pro.

I use Flight Stats pretty heavily. It's helpful because I can look at city pairs AND look and see all departures and arrivals at a specific airport. Get stuck somewhere? I can use it to see where all else I can go and maybe find something better.

Great app.

Flight Stats used to be my go to. The website version changed and are trying to make you pay for stuff but the mobile app still is the old stuff and works. That and pass rider work really well. Flight stats is great to see all arrivals and departures from an airport which makes creative commuting easier.

StaffTraveler...check loads and don’t need to pay a dime. Check it out. It has made commuting so much easier. They have a website and app. Server goes down sometimes but only for a few minutes.

That Stafftravler is horrid on Android. Keeps crashing and I am not the only one judging by the reviews.

Works pretty good on iOS. I still prefer the website version though. Regardless, it's a great tool even if it is buggy, it works.

You don't. Well I mean you can but you shouldn't. You start with 5 credits. If you make a request, you use one. If you answer one, you gain one. There is an incentive to answer requests quickly to gain credits. That's the beauty of it.

For example, I have about 180 credits right now. When you are bored on an overnight, just pull up StaffTraveler and start answering requests while you're watching TV/Netflix/Pr0n/etc.
