Frequently asked questions

Voting, accounts, Premium and listing your airline. Can't find your answer? Write to us

Voting

How do I vote?

Create a free pilot account and log in. Then press Vote next to the airline in the top list or on its profile.

How many times can I vote?

Once a month with your account. Each internet connection can also vote once a month, so two accounts on the same connection count as one vote. On the 1st the votes are reset and you can vote again.

When does the board start again?

On the 1st of every month. The airline with the most votes at the end of the month joins the hall of fame.

Are the votes checked?

Yes. We monitor votes and remove fraudulent ones, so the ranking stays fair.

Accounts

Which account should I create?

If you just want to vote for your favorite airline, create a pilot account. If you run a virtual airline, list it with an airline account: you can use the same account to vote.

Can I use the same email for two accounts?

No. Each email can have one account, pilot or airline. Both types can vote.

Why do I get a code by email when I log in?

To protect your account. After your email and password we send you a 6-digit code: it expires in 30 minutes and works once, so nobody can get in with your password alone. No email? Check your spam folder, or ask for a new code from the same page.

Can I stay logged in?

Yes: tick "Keep me logged in for 30 days" when you log in. Logging out, or changing your password, ends it.

I forgot my password

Use "Forgot your password?" on the log in page and we'll email you a link to set a new one. The link works once and for 1 hour.

For airlines

How do I list my airline?

List your airline: it's free and takes a few minutes. Confirm your email and it appears on the board, where pilots can vote for it.

How do I update my airline's profile?

Log in and open your airline dashboard. Description, website, simulators, operations and banner are under Profile.

What happens if my airline finishes first in a month?

It joins the hall of fame, and its profile shows the result for the following month. The board starts again from zero on the 1st.

How do I show my rank on my website?

Copy the badge code from your airline dashboard and paste it into your site. The badge updates with every vote.

What does Premium add?

A Join button so pilots can apply to your airline, a report every month, live flights in your Discord, a Flying now widget for your website, your CEO interview, up to 6 screenshots, a YouTube video and your banner in the top list. Fleet, networks, flight tracker and voice are free for every airline. See Premium.

How much is Premium?

€5.99 a month or €49 a year, paid once with PayPal from your airline dashboard. Nothing renews by itself: a week before the end we send you a reminder. New airlines get their first 10 days free.

How do pilots apply to join an airline?

Premium airlines have a Join button on their profile. You write your name, email, simulator and a few words; the airline gets it by email and replies to you directly.

Can I gift Premium to an airline?

Yes: open its profile and press Gift Premium. A month costs €5.99 with PayPal, and the airline sees who it is from.

How do I get a CEO interview?

CEO interviews are part of Premium, and new airlines can answer during their free first 10 days. Open the CEO interview tab in your airline dashboard and answer the twelve questions online: after a quick check we publish it.
