FlyBetter - Never Miss an Upgrade

FlyBetter is a macOS menu‑bar utility that continuously monitors upgrade prices for American Airlines flights. Users enter their flight confirmation code, last name and date of birth, and the app retrieves all upgrade‑eligible segments. A price threshold can be set for each flight, and FlyBetter checks the upgrade cost every fifteen minutes, sending a macOS notification as soon as the price falls at or below the specified amount.

The software is designed for frequent travelers who want to secure business‑class seats without paying full fare. It presents a full price history with charts, allowing users to see how upgrade costs have fluctuated over time. All monitoring runs locally on the Mac; no account, cloud service, or data transmission to external servers is required, keeping personal and flight information private.

FlyBetter is a lightweight, native macOS experience, signed and notarized by Apple, and compatible with macOS 13 Ventura or later on both Apple Silicon and Intel hardware. The application is free, has no subscription model, and operates entirely from the menu bar, providing real‑time upgrade alerts without additional user intervention.
