Trey t 3790792040 Initial commit: Flights iOS app 
Flight search app built on FlightConnections.com API data.
Features: airport search with autocomplete, browse by country/state/map,
flight schedules by route and date, multi-airline support with per-airline
schedule loading. Includes 4,561-airport GPS database for map browsing.
Adaptive light/dark mode UI inspired by Flighty.

Airline Load Data API Summary

Goal: Get number of open seats and number of people on standby list per flight.

United Airlines - BEST

Endpoints

Endpoint URL
Standby List POST https://mobileapi.united.com/standbylistservice/api/GetStandbyList
Upgrade List POST https://mobileapi.united.com/upgradelistservice/api/GetUpgradeList
Flight Status GET https://mobileapi.united.com/flightstatusservice/api/GetFlightStatus_UAandStar
Flight Status (segment) GET https://mobileapi.united.com/flightstatusservice/api/GetSegmentFlightStatusWithDestination_UAandStar
Pass Rider List POST https://mobileapi.united.com/passriderlistservice/api/PassRiderList

Data Fields (confirmed from embedded mock JSON)

  • CustomersOnStandbyList — list of passengers on standby
  • SeatsAvailable — available seat count (nullable)
  • AvailabiltyCount — availability count string
  • ShowStandby — whether standby is shown for segment
  • enableStandbyList — boolean toggle on flight status
  • enableUpgradeList — boolean toggle on flight status
  • businessStandByList — business class standby list
  • standByListPassengers — passenger details
  • availableSeat11AMto5PM / availableSeatBefore11AM / availableSeatAfter5PM — time-bucketed availability

Security

  • No SSL pinning
  • No PairIP/anti-tamper
  • No emulator detection
  • Auth: session-based (needs login token)

Completeness: 95%

  • Open seats: YES (SeatsAvailable, AvailabiltyCount, time-bucketed seat fields)
  • Standby count: YES (CustomersOnStandbyList, standByListPassengers)
  • Standby names: YES (passenger objects)
  • Upgrade list: YES (separate endpoint)
  • Missing: Need to capture actual API request body format. Can do via emulator + mitmproxy since no protections exist.

Delta Air Lines - GOOD

Endpoints

Endpoint URL
Airport Standby List POST https://www.delta.com/api/mobile/asl
Upgrade Eligibility POST https://www.delta.com/api/mobile/getUpgradeEligibilityInfo
Flight Status POST https://www.delta.com/api/mobile/getFlightStatus
Flight Status by Leg POST https://www.delta.com/api/mobile/getFlightStatusByLeg

Data Fields

  • seatsAvailableCount — number of open seats
  • seatsRemainingLabel — display text for remaining seats
  • upgradeCount — number on upgrade list
  • UpgradeSeatRemaining — seats remaining per cabin class
  • getClearedStandbyPassengers — passengers who cleared
  • getWaitingStandbyPassengers — passengers still waiting
  • getStandbyTotalWaitList — total on standby waitlist
  • getStandbySeatRemaining — seats available for standby
  • standbyPriority / standbyPriorityCode — priority info
  • hasStandbyFlightNoSeatsAvailable — boolean indicator

Security

  • No SSL pinning
  • No PairIP/anti-tamper
  • No emulator detection
  • Auth: session-based via /api/mobile/login

Completeness: 90%

  • Open seats: YES (seatsAvailableCount, UpgradeSeatRemaining per cabin)
  • Standby count: YES (getStandbyTotalWaitList, cleared vs waiting)
  • Standby names: YES (StandbyPassengerPositionView, StandbyPassengerStatusAdapter)
  • Upgrade list: YES (upgradeCount, upgradeList)
  • Missing: Need to capture actual request/response JSON format. Can do via emulator + mitmproxy. Need to determine if auth is required or if ASL endpoint works without login.

Spirit Airlines - PARTIAL

Endpoints

Endpoint URL
BOA Status POST https://api.spirit.com/customermobileprod/2.8.0/v1/getboastatus
BOA Parameters GET https://api.spirit.com/customermobileprod/2.8.0/v1/getboaparameters
Flight Search POST https://api.spirit.com/customermobileprod/2.8.0/v5/Flight/Search

Data Fields

  • isStandby — boolean standby flag
  • standby — standby details on segment
  • boaStatus — Board of Availability status
  • capacity — flight capacity
  • availableUnits — available units

Security

  • No SSL pinning
  • No PairIP/anti-tamper
  • Akamai Bot Manager present (may block non-app requests)
  • Auth: token-based via /v2/Token

Completeness: 50%

  • Open seats: UNCLEAR — availableUnits and capacity exist but unclear if they represent seat counts. Spirit may not expose granular seat availability.
  • Standby count: UNCLEAR — boaStatus exists but the response format is unknown. Spirit's BOA system is simpler than Delta/United.
  • Standby names: UNCLEAR — no StandbyPassenger model found. May only show status, not individual passengers.
  • Missing: Need actual API call to determine what getboastatus returns. Emulator capture needed. Spirit may have a more limited standby system (being an ULCC).

American Airlines - BLOCKED

Endpoints

Endpoint URL
Flight Status (web) POST https://www.aa.com/flightinfo/v1.2/
Standby/Waitlist UNKNOWN — mobile app only, SSL pinned

Data Fields (from iOS app screenshot)

  • "Available seats: 23" — seat count per cabin
  • Passenger names on standby list
  • Standby vs Upgrade lists
  • Cabin-specific breakdown

Security

  • SSL pinning on key domains
  • PairIP anti-tamper on Android (crashes on emulators)
  • Akamai WAF on web endpoints

Completeness: 20%

  • Open seats: CONFIRMED EXISTS (screenshot shows "Available seats 23") but API endpoint unknown
  • Standby count: CONFIRMED EXISTS (screenshot shows passenger list) but API endpoint unknown
  • Flight status: CAPTURED (/flightinfo/v1.2/ — gates, times, status, equipment)
  • Missing: The standby/waitlist API endpoint is mobile-app-only, protected by SSL pinning (iOS) and PairIP (Android). Cannot be captured without jailbroken iOS device or rooted physical Android with Magisk+Shamiko.

Action Items

Immediately actionable (no additional capture needed):

  1. AA Flight Status — /flightinfo/v1.2/ is working. Can get gates, times, delays, equipment.

Needs emulator + mitmproxy capture (no protections, straightforward):

  1. United Standby List — Boot emulator, install APK, login, call GetStandbyList. No pinning/anti-tamper. Full data including seat counts and passenger names.
  2. Delta ASL — Same approach. Boot emulator, install APK, login, call /api/mobile/asl. Full data.
  3. Spirit BOA — Boot emulator, install APK, login, call /v1/getboastatus. Determine what data is actually returned.

Requires physical device:

  1. AA Standby/Waitlist — Needs jailbroken iPhone + SSL Kill Switch, or rooted physical Android + Magisk + Shamiko + Frida.

Priority order for implementation:

  1. United (most data, easiest to capture, dedicated standby service endpoint)
  2. Delta (rich data model, no protections)
  3. Spirit (uncertain data granularity)
  4. AA (blocked without specialized hardware)
