Flight Timer: Travel Time
- By
Track flight-master travel with a minimal timer, learned arrival estimates, and optional destination and next-stop displays.
A simple flight timer for your next journey
Flight Timer: Travel Time keeps track of your flight-master journeys in World of Warcraft with a compact, adjustable display. See how long you have been flying, where you are headed, and an estimated time remaining once the addon has learned your route.
It is a standalone addon: you do not need Leatrix Plus, HandyNotes, or any additional libraries.
How flight times work
On an unfamiliar route, Flight Timer: Travel Time shows the elapsed flight time and learns the duration when you complete the journey. The next time you take that route, it can show an estimated countdown to arrival.
For journeys with several stops, the addon can also build an estimate from previously learned individual legs. The next-stop display is an estimate based on those timings. Flight speed changes and other travel conditions can affect the prediction.
There is no bundled database of every flight path, so an unknown journey will not show an instant arrival estimate.
Keep your screen clear
- A small flight display that hides when you are not traveling.
- Optional destination and estimated next stop.
- A background you can show or hide.
- A progress bar that can fill up or drain during the flight.
- Adjustable scale, width, and text size.
- A preview mode for dragging the display into position.
- Optional spoken reminders at approximately 30 and 10 seconds remaining, when your client has an available text-to-speech voice.
- English and French interface text, with English as the fallback for other locales.
Interrupted, unidentified, and resumed flights are excluded from route learning. Learned times are kept separately by client edition, interface version, and faction.
Getting started
- Install Flight Timer: Travel Time and enable it in your AddOns list.
- Type
/fttto open the settings. - Choose Preview / move and drag the display to a convenient spot.

Client compatibility
Flight Timer: Travel Time is designed for Retail, Classic client families, and WoW Forever. The code includes compatibility paths for Classic Era, TBC Anniversary, Mists, Wrath/Titan, and Cataclysm clients. Install it separately in each client's AddOns folder; settings and learned routes are not automatically transferred between installations.
It tracks flight-master taxis. It does not time player-controlled flying mounts, boats, zeppelins, portals, or arbitrary scripted vehicles.
Inspiration and support
Inspired by the flight-time feature in Leatrix Plus, Flight Timer: Travel Time is an original, independent implementation. It does not include Leatrix code, assets, or a flight database. If you already use the Leatrix Plus flight-time display, turn that feature off to avoid seeing two timers.
