Who it's for › Early flights and travel
Early flight? The alarm's worked out.
How early is early enough? First Thing counts back from your flight: two hours at the airport, the trip there and the time you take to get ready. Then it moves tonight's bedtime earlier to match.

Questions
What time should I wake up for a 7am flight?
For a flight at 7:00, aim to be at the airport by 5:00. Take off the trip there and the time you need to get ready: with a 40-minute drive and 20 minutes to get ready, that's 4:00.
Does First Thing read flights from my calendar?
Yes. A flight in your calendar sets the alarm for that morning, with two hours at the airport.
Is the travel feature free?
Yes. Flights and travel days are free. Pro adds a live check of the journey in the morning.
Can I change the two hours?
Yes. Tap the airport time on the morning and set it just for this trip or every flight.
