A straight answer at the airport.
Flyteller is a free app for the hours around a flight: the board, the gate, the way through the airport and what has changed since you last looked. It says where each piece of information comes from, and says so when it has none.
4,081 airports in 7 parts of the world, and 26,252 places inside them.
A board for every airport.
Departures and arrivals, with the gate once it is announced. At an airport that only publishes a timetable, the board says so.
Told when it changes.
Get a notification when the gate is announced or changes, or when the flight is delayed or cancelled.
A map of the inside.
Where an airport’s inside is mapped, you see its gates, shops and places to eat. Where it isn’t, the map says so.

Where our information comes from
Flight times
Flight times and gates come from a flight data provider. At some airports only the timetable is available, with no live updates: their boards say so at the top, and their flights show “Scheduled”, never “On time”. When a gate is open and we don’t have it, the board says “see airport screens”.
Places
Shops, cafés and other places come from the airport’s own directory where it publishes one, and otherwise from OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps. Much of it is volunteered, so it can be patchy, and where we don’t know something, like opening hours or which side of security a place is on, we leave it out rather than guess. You can fix mistakes at openstreetmap.org.
Guides
The guides come from each airport’s own website, Wikivoyage, Wikipedia and what travellers have published, such as Sleeping in Airports. Every fact links to its source and stays in the source’s language, because each one is a quote. Live queue times are the airport’s own figures, and US passport control waits come from US Customs and Border Protection.
We never invent a fact.
Every fact in a guide links to its source and says what the source says. Where we don’t know something, we leave it out rather than guess.

Is Flyteller free?
Yes. Some screens end with links to other companies, for things like airport hotels, parking, lounges, car hire, eSIMs and help claiming for a late or cancelled flight. Where we’ve joined a company’s affiliate programme, it may pay us a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you, and the link says so. Where we haven’t, we earn nothing from it.
These links are kept separate from the guide. No company can pay to appear in the guide or change what it says. When you can do something for free, like claiming compensation from the airline yourself, we tell you.
There are no ads from ad networks in the apps. An offer from a company that pays us, such as car hire or an eSIM, says Ad beside it. On the board and an airport’s pages we may show news of our own, which says From Flyteller, or another company’s paid ad, which says Ad and its name. The website may also show 1 ad from Google, labelled as one, at the end of 2 airport pages: Essentials and Dine & shop. It’s never a pop-up, a video or a sound, and members never see that one, nor does a Velberget Concierge member’s family.
What Flyteller knows about you
Very little. The app needs no account. Your airport, the flight you follow, your logbook and your settings stay on your device. If you sign in as a member, we keep your email address, your membership and a copy of your logbook.
Flyteller is independent. In the EU, the EEA and Switzerland, we count visits only if you say yes.
