About Taya Flights

Built with care by Evan in San Francisco 🌁 and around the world πŸ—ΊοΈ

Data

Airport data is sourced from OpenAirports. Aircraft type data is sourced from the US FAA. Flight data (schedules, flight tracks, etc) and airline data is sourced from commercial data providers.

Flights

Flight data is available for flights starting January 1st, 2011. Some non-commercial flights (general aviation, military, etc.) are not available.

Adding custom flights will be supported in a future release, enabling you to add flights that aren't in our database.

The app will support further personal flight data (class of service, booking code, cost, etc.) in a future release. Currently, only seat number is supported.

Taya currently supports up to 5,000 flights per user. The underlying infrastructure can support substantially more; we'll up the limit if and when needed.

Imports

You can easily import flights by either forwarding confirmation emails or uploading CSVs.

To import flights by email, simply forward your flight emails (confirmations, boarding passes, etc.) to
import@email.taya.flights
from the email account you use to log in to Taya. Flight information will be extracted from the email itself and attachments (PDFs, images, and .eml files).

Taya can also directly import CSVs, including those from Flighty, myFlightradar24, OpenFlights.org, Alaska Airlines, and United Airlines. You can also create your own custom CSV using Taya's CSV format, or import a CSV aligned with the FlightMemory.com data model (contact me to get a script that will export your FlightMemory data to CSV, as this is not offered directly in the FlightMemory app). The app will soon support additional CSV formats.

The importer will occassionally not be able to find certain flights, due to codeshares, schedule changes, etc. You can search further for your flight with the Add Flight dialog, and importer matching improvements are underway.

A future release will support importing flights from Apple Wallet passes.

Airlines

Airline metrics are primarily calculated by marketing airline, with breakdowns by operating airline available on the airline detail page. E.g., a flight operated by SkyWest but marketed by United will be counted as a United flight, but you can also see how much of your travel on United was operated by SkyWest.

Note that marketing airline detection is not perfect; some flights (particularly older flights) will show up solely under the operating airline. There are also some data quality issues when airline IATA codes have been reused; E.g., Continental Airlines (CO/COA) flights from the early 2010s instead show up as China Northwest International Cargo (CO/CNW). Improvements are underway.

Some less common airlines won't yet show up in the "Add Flight" airline dropdown. If you instead search by route or aircraft registration, you should be able to find your flight, and that airline will subsequently show up in the airline dropdown.

Airports

Currently you can only search and filter by commercial airports. The underlying dataset includes ~all airports (including small landing strips, etc., β€” thank you OpenAirports!). A future release will show these smaller airports in the app.

Pricing

Taya is currently available for free during Alpha development and testing. There will be a (reasonable!) recurring price to use the full functionality in the future β€” this is to cover expenses from data providers, hosting, etc. Some functionality will remain free, and you'll always be able to export your flight data to CSV even if not subscribed.

Technical Details

Taya has primarily been tested on Safari to date, and should run well on both Safari desktop and Safari mobile (including as an iOS web app). There has been some testing on Chrome. Your mileage may vary on other browsers; please send feedback if you run into compatibility issues.

The app currently needs an internet connection to be used. Offline browser support may be added in the future.

Occasionally there may be caching issues when data is changing; try a page refresh if something looks off. This will improve in future releases.

User authentication is currently available via email & password or Google account. Other single-sign on account types will be supported in a future release.
