Flywise is an iPhone app built to help travellers plan airport journeys more intelligently. It goes beyond basic directions by giving users clearer timing guidance, practical travel-day support, and better visibility of factors that can affect getting to the airport on time. Whether it’s weather, journey timing, or airport planning, Flywise helps reduce stress and improve confidence before you travel.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Flywise after one simple realisation… Most people don’t miss flights because they’re careless — they miss them because they misjudge time. We all do the same thing: • “It’s only 30 minutes away” • “I’ll leave in a bit” • “Traffic should be fine” And suddenly you’re stressed, rushing, or worse… watching your gate close. ✈️ The problem Travel planning is fragmented. Maps tell you how long it should take. Airlines tell you when to arrive. Weather apps sit somewhere else entirely. But no one actually answers the only question that matters: 👉 “When do I need to leave… based on reality?” 🧠 What Flywise does differently Flywise brings everything into one decision: • Journey timing • Airport planning • Weather impact • Real-world buffers It’s not just directions — it’s decision support for your travel day. ⚙️ How it evolved This started as a simple idea… but quickly turned into something much deeper. The challenge wasn’t data — it was trust. So I focused on: • Clear recommendations (not overload) • RAG-style signals (what’s safe vs risky) • Making uncertainty visible, not hidden 🚀 What I’m looking for This is just the beginning. I’d love feedback on: • What stresses you most about getting to the airport? • What would make you trust a “leave time” recommendation? • What feels missing from current travel apps? If you’ve ever cut it too fine for a flight… this was built for you. Appreciate any support, feedback, or brutal honesty 🙌
