Hey Product Hunt — I'm Derek, founder of Flight Rights.
Quick backstory: I spent 5 years at Shopify working with thousands of consumer brands. After I left, I started paying attention to how broken consumer rights are in the US — especially airline passenger rights.
Here's what I kept seeing: flights get delayed or cancelled, passengers get frustrated, and airlines offer a voucher or nothing. But under federal law, airlines owe you a cash refund for cancellations and significant delays. Most people have no idea.
So I built Flight Rights. It's an iOS app that:
- Tracks your flights in real time
- Tells you exactly what rights apply when something goes wrong
- Estimates what you're owed in dollars
- Lets you send a compensation request to the airline with one tap
A few things I'm proud of:
- Built the entire app solo using AI (Claude) — no engineering team
- 1,480+ downloads and 68% App Store conversion rate since launch
- 22K+ views across TikTok in the first week
- Auto-send scripts cover the 10 largest US carriers
Pro is live now ($4.99/mo) — unlimited flight tracking, the full compensation estimator, and auto-send to airlines.
Would love your feedback. What rights do you wish you knew about the last time your flight was delayed?
