Hi everyone,
This is my second post in a series of discussions in which I am sharing some findings on the way people curate, organize and share travel content. The main objective here is to engage in conversations with the broader Travel Massive community.
The first topic was covering the different sources used by travellers to collect travel inspiration and information and is available here:
travelmassive.com/posts/what-is-your-go-to-source-for-travel-information-737921570
Now, I would like to dig deeper in some of those information sources and understand what makes them attractive / trustworthy sources. The second topic therefore relates to the current usage of travel guidebooks.
Here's a summary of my findings based on numerous interviews:
Travel guidebooks have long been a popular resource for travellers looking for information about destinations, attractions, accommodations, and more. With the rise of digital technology, however, many people are now turning to o...

Hi Maxim,
Thanks for sharing your updates, these are great enhancements!
I love the new flight stats, and learning how many times I've flown on various gear. Also it's interesting to know how many times I've visited various countries... 66 times to Germany (do I get a medal?)
Thank you so much, Ian!
We have achievements system in works so yeah, you will get a medal (or alternative) soon! :))
Just digital tho...
I really like the look and feel of the app! Would any import features from other portals be on your roadmap by coincidence? I would love to bring over my history from my.flightradar24 but entering > 500 flights manually would be cumbersome.
To be honest it is already done on our backend, we just didn't add it in the app yet...
In the meantime you can send me your export file from App in the Air or MyFlightRadar24 to m.mamedov@byairapp.com and I'll be happy to import them for you!
That's great, thank you! I have just sent you the file. Let me know by mail if anything else is needed.
Beautiful!!! This guys now what they are doing. You are going to be Massive! (Do I get a sticker for this slogan related to the website? haha)
Hey Travel Massive, byAir 2.3 is here!
What's new?
✈️ Trips – Connecting flights are now automatically grouped into a single journey for seamless tracking.
⏳ Smart Layovers – See if you need to change terminals and whether your connection time is enough.
What’s next?
We’re fixing all “Entity Not Found” errors with a full redesign of our airlines & airports database. Plus, we’re working on the best-in-class manual flight import, including imports from App in the Air, MyFlightRadar24, and Flighty.
