Read this before you switch
Orbit cannot import your flights. Not from Passyport, not from anywhere — there is no importer yet. Moving a logbook across means typing it in.
Passyport exports CSV or JSON for free, so getting a copy out is easy. Orbit cannot read either yet, so the export is a list to type from rather than a file to upload — and if Passyport suits you, there may be no reason to move at all.
It is less work than it sounds: three fields per flight — where from, where to, and when. Orbit derives the distance, the hours, the countries, the continents and every milestone from those. The method for rebuilding a history is written up in full.
The free tier holds 15 flights, so you can find out whether you like it before deciding whether to carry the rest across.
Orbit and Passyport, row by row

Orbit, on the screen
The parts of the table above that are easier to see than to read.
What Passyport does better
- It is free with no flight limit, and exports CSV or JSON at no cost. Orbit caps the free tier and keeps export for Pro.
- It imports from a CSV, a boarding-pass scan or your calendar. Orbit imports from nothing.
- It runs in any browser, so iPhone and desktop users are not left out.
What Orbit does better
- A native Android app that works with no signal, rather than a website.
- 8,801 airports on the phone. Passyport says its own list is around 1,150 major commercial airports.
- No account to make before you log your first flight.
Asked and answered
Is Passyport really free?
Its site says so: no flight limit, no credit card and no paid tier, with free export as CSV or JSON. It launched in 2026, so there is no long track record yet, and its site does not name the company behind it.
Is there a Passyport app for Android?
We could not find one on Google Play or the App Store on 6 October 2026. Passyport is a website designed for phone browsers. Orbit is a native Android app with every airport stored on the device.
Can Orbit import my Passyport export?
No. Orbit has no importer yet, so the file is a list to work from. Each flight needs three fields — where from, where to and when — and Orbit computes the rest.
Why pay for Orbit when Passyport is free?
If you want a native app that works on a plane with no signal, with every airport down to small regional fields, and no account. If a free website covers what you need, Passyport is a reasonable choice and this page is not trying to talk you out of it.
What Orbit works out for you
You enter an airport pair and a date. Everything below is computed from the airports’ own coordinates — which is why entering a flight takes a few seconds rather than a form.
Start with the flights you remember.
The long ones first — they carry most of the distance and most of the milestones. Free for your first 15, no account needed, no ads on any tier.
