CabinLink reads supported in-flight Wi-Fi manifests and turns them into a native flight dashboard. See route, current position, altitude, speed, ETA, aircraft details, and destination weather, with last-known updates when the cabin connection drops. No login, no ads, and no paid Wi-Fi pass required for supported manifests. Launches Jun 7, 2026 at 9 AM MST on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.
Hi Product Hunt, I built CabinLink because airline Wi-Fi portals often have a useful flight map, but the details are buried, slow, or disappear when the cabin connection gets flaky.
CabinLink reads supported onboard flight manifests over cabin Wi-Fi and turns them into a native Apple app experience. You get the route, current position, altitude, ground speed, heading, time remaining, aircraft details, and destination weather when an internet connection is available. If the Wi-Fi drops, the last known reading stays on screen instead of leaving you with a spinner.
It is built for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. There is no login, no ads, and supported cabin manifests usually do not require a paid Wi-Fi pass.

I would love feedback on airline coverage, the first-run explanation, and what flight detail would be most useful to add next.
I like how specific this is. Airline Wi-Fi pages are usually slow, ugly, and annoying to keep open, so turning that hidden flight data into a clean Apple-style dashboard is a neat idea.
The part I’d care about most is knowing before the flight whether my airline is supported. Even a simple “likely works / not sure yet” list would make the app easier to trust before boarding.
I think it will be go to approach to use cabin wifi info source
does every flight have this cabin wifi?
The "supported manifests" caveat is where the first-run experience is going to make or break it — most users won't know if their airline is supported until they're already in the air with expectations set. Is there a way to tell someone before they board whether their flight will work, or does that require knowing the carrier in advance?
Every other tracker either makes me type a flight number or leans on a GPS trick that dies the second the screen locks. My one question is the offline behavior - when the cabin wifi cuts out and you hold the last reading, are you dead-reckoning position from the last speed and heading?
This is actually pretty amazing app, I have around 50+ flights annually and most of them are super boring short haul with no entertainment. I usually keep Google maps open while in the flight mode so I can track the location based on the gps, but that works only if you open it while on the ground and keep it open during the whole flight, as soon as you close it you will lose the location. I'll try this one for sure. Congratulations on your launch!
no login no ads no paid wifi pass is the entire trust proposition for a travel utility and it's the right one. travel apps that require an account or upsell you mid-flight are the worst category of software to deal with at altitude. the constraint of working with what's already available without asking for anything is a good design philosophy for this specific contex
Which airlines or wifi providers are actually supported via manifests right now?
Reading the in-flight Wi-Fi manifest directly is a clever approach, most flight tracker apps need you to input your flight manually.
I know so many flight enthusiasts who will love this. Also on shorter flights you don’t have an onboard entertainment system that shows you the flight stats. And even if you had it is convenient not to leave the movie you are watching or the game you are playing for the stats! Great work!
This is such a great launch, especially when holiday/vacay session is coming. BTW, I am on my travels too, so may use it later. :)
