what flybud does

Everything between booking
and baggage claim.

🌊

Turbulence, forecast like weather

Real atmospheric forecast data for your exact route and altitude, told in plain words — where it'll be bumpy, how bumpy, and when it smooths out.

🛰️

Live tracking that doesn't lie

Position, gates, delays and diversions as they happen. And when the data source lags behind reality, FlyBud says "probably in the air" instead of pretending.

🔔

Told before the airport tells you

Gate changes, delays and arrival updates as notifications — for your own flight, or the one you're picking someone up from.

📖

A logbook of everywhere you've flown

Every tracked flight lands in your personal logbook — routes, aircraft, miles and hours, quietly adding up into your flying story.

the forecast nobody else shows you

Bumpy air isn't a surprise.
It's a forecast.

Pilots see turbulence charts before every flight. Now you do too — FlyBud reads the same global forecast models and maps them onto your route, hour by hour.

Updated every forecast cycle, for your route's actual altitude — not a generic weather map.

for nervous flyers, especially

Turbulence is uncomfortable, not dangerous. Now you can see why.

Half of the fear is not knowing. FlyBud tells you the bumps are coming, how long they'll last, and when they'll stop — which turns "what was THAT?!" into "right on schedule."

  • Plain words, not aviation jargon. "Seatbelt-sign bumpy for about 20 minutes" beats "moderate clear-air turbulence, FL360."
  • Honest about uncertainty. Forecasts are forecasts — FlyBud tells you how confident it is.
  • There the whole flight. Works from the moment you book to the moment you land.
