Our Story
FlySmarts was founded by digital nomads and tech-savvy travelers who saw that most travel advice was stuck in the pre-smartphone era. The tools available to modern travelers are extraordinary — but only if you know how to use them.
We review and recommend the best travel apps, explain how to use flight tracking services, cover the latest developments in airport technology, and provide guidance on digital travel documents and contactless travel. Our content is always current — we update it as new tools emerge and old ones change.
We also cover the less glamorous side of travel technology: how airlines use data to price tickets, how to protect your privacy when booking flights, the risks of public airport Wi-Fi, and how to secure your devices while traveling internationally.
Our Mission
Our philosophy is that technology should serve the traveler, not the other way around. We help you identify the tools that genuinely add value and avoid the ones that are more hype than substance.
Our Values
Accuracy
We verify our information carefully and update our guides regularly to reflect current policies and procedures.
Transparency
We are honest about what we know and don't know, and we don't recommend products or services we don't genuinely believe in.
Practicality
Our guides are designed to be useful in the real world, not just interesting to read. We focus on actionable information.
Accessibility
We believe that good travel information should be available to everyone, regardless of experience level or background.
