What is FlightAbove Cloud?
a unique URL on a screen you already own
FlightAbove Cloud is a subscription. You do not buy a display from us. Subscribe, get a unique URL, open it on a laptop, tablet or television you already have. Callsign, tail, airline, type, a photograph, the route, altitude and speed. Clock and weather when the sky is quiet. LED Wall if you want the board look. Nothing to install. All managed via your dedicated dashboard. From £3.99 a month.
This page explains what Cloud is, how the URL works, and when hardware is the better buy. Plans and checkout live on the Cloud product page.

Mini, Altitude and Connect are objects we build and ship. Cloud is not. It is the same live sky, delivered as a page you already know how to open.
A box we ship
There is no display in the post. No case. No cable from us. You keep the laptop, tablet or television you already like.
The same tracking
Live ADS-B, lock-a-flight, ISS look-up, faces, filters, LED Wall. FlightLog sits in your dashboard. Nothing is held back because you did not buy glass.

Where Cloud actually lives
Laptop, tablet, television.
Laptop, tablet, television.
One URL, wherever you already look.
Cloud is for a browser that is already sitting idle. Leave it on a laptop, a tablet, a television, or more than one of those in the same room.
Laptop
A browser tab that earns the desk
Open the URL, full screen it, leave it running. Callsign, photo, route and remaining time without unlocking a phone.
Tablet
Kitchen counter, map and coffee
A live route on the tablet you already leave out. Stand it up. The track of what just went over sits next to breakfast.
Living room
LED Wall, on the television
The board look on a TV that is already on the wall. Airline, callsign, type, remaining distance. Switch back to photos and maps whenever you like.
Several devices
Clock, radar and the board, together
Open the URL where you want it. A clock on the laptop, a radar on the tablet, LED Wall on the TV. All managed via your dedicated dashboard.
What Cloud shows
The same live sky as the hardware
Cloud is not a thinner version of FlightAbove. It is the same tracking, laid out so you can read it from across the room.

Before you subscribe
Questions about FlightAbove Cloud
What is FlightAbove Cloud?
Cloud is the subscription FlightAbove. You do not buy a display from us. Subscribe, get a unique URL, open it on a laptop, tablet, TV or monitor you already own. Same live aircraft, photos, maps, clock, weather, radar and LED Wall as Mini, Altitude and Connect.
How does the unique URL work?
After checkout, FlightAbove creates a private address for your display. Open it in any modern browser. Bookmark it, leave it full screen, come back to it. There is nothing to download. Updates arrive on that same URL.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Open the URL. That is the whole setup. Location, faces, filters, LED Wall and FlightLog are all managed via your dedicated dashboard.
What can I run Cloud on?
Anything with a modern browser and an internet connection. A laptop, tablet, spare monitor or television. We do not ship hardware with Cloud.
Is Cloud a subscription?
Yes. Cloud is monthly or yearly. It is the only FlightAbove option billed that way. Mini, Horizon, Altitude and Connect are one-time purchases with no subscription.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every Cloud plan starts with a free 2-day trial. You will not be charged today. Cancel before day 2 and you owe nothing.
How is Cloud different from Connect?
Connect is hardware you buy once and plug into a TV or monitor. Cloud is a monthly or yearly URL for a laptop, tablet or TV you already look after yourself. Same tracking. Different way to pay and run it.
How is Cloud different from Mini or Altitude?
Mini and Altitude are all-in-one desk displays, paid once. Cloud is a subscription on a screen you already own. Start here, order hardware later if you want a dedicated object. Your account and settings carry over.
How is Cloud different from a flight tracking website?
FlightAbove is an always-on display, not a map you poke at. It filters aircraft to your location and lays the data out so you can read it from across the room. Clock and weather when the sky is quiet.
Can I use more than one device?
Open the URL on the laptop, tablet or television you want to leave running. Faces, filters and FlightLog are all managed via your dedicated dashboard.
Can I switch to hardware later?
Yes. Start with Cloud, then order Mini, Altitude or Connect any time. Your account and settings carry over.
Where do I subscribe?
Plans and checkout live on the FlightAbove Cloud product page. This page is the guide.
