Flighty’s Global Passport Report highlights how Flighty users traveled this year, from total flights to total hours yearsdelayed, and an industry-first: Flighty’s Get Me Off This Plane.
Every year, Flighty analyzes tens of millions of flights globally to deliver its popular year-in-review Flighty Passport to travelers. Flighty Passport personalizes every user’s year-end flight stats, including total distance, flight time, routes, hours delayed, and aircraft and airport stats. It shows the number of times they’ve visited an airport, flown with an airline, and even how many times they flew on the same plane.
Flighty’s new Global Passport Report analyzes the millions of flights its users flew across the world in 2025 to show off everyone’s year-in-review stats, from the good, to the bad, to the very, very delayed.
Global Flights
In 2025, Flighty travelers took over 22 million flights, covering 34 billion miles, for a cumulative 78 million hours in the air. That’s a staggering 8,961 years of flight time as Flighty travelers flew on thousands of planes simultaneously across the globe, 24/7.
Global Delays
Each day, Flighty tracks tens of thousands of flights, individual schedules, inbound planes, and historic flight performances to calculate, confirm, and instantly alert each user when their specific flight is delayed — and the delays really add up.
Added together, it shows how much time passengers lost arriving late to their destinations versus when the airlines said they would — totaling 3.9 million hours lost.^1
When ranked globally, Ryanair was the #1 most delayed airline among Flighty users.
When ranking the U.S., Flighty’s Top 5 Most Delayed Airlines in the U.S. are:
- Frontier Airlines, 28%
- JetBlue Airways, 25%
- Southwest Airlines, 25%
- American Airlines, 24%
- Alaska Airlines, 23%
Get Me Off This Plane
A new Flighty metric measures the gap between a flight’s scheduled arrival and when passengers actually got off the plane. This is the time typically stretched by runway congestion, taxiing, unavailable gates, holding patterns, and more. It captures all those extra minutes spent sitting, waiting, and muttering, “Get me off this plane!”
