Overview
Your profile settings tell MileIntel who you are and how you travel. The more accurate these are, the better your recommendations.
How to Access
Go to Settings > Profile from the sidebar or the account menu in the top bar.
Settings You Can Change
- Display name — how your name appears in the app and on shared trips. Pulled from Google at signup, editable anytime.
- Email — your Google account email. This is read-only (tied to your OAuth identity) but is used for billing receipts and alert emails.
- Home airport — your primary departure airport (e.g., JFK, LAX, ORD). This is critical for Best Path calculations, price alerts, and route recommendations. Set it to the airport you fly from most.
- Timezone — auto-detected from your browser but adjustable. Affects notification timing, quiet hours, and how flight times display.
- Cabin preference — your default cabin class (economy, premium economy, business, first). New trips inherit this preference. Best Path uses it to prioritize upgrade recommendations.
- Dietary preferences — used by TCC's dining recommendations to surface restaurants matching your dietary needs at the airport.
Key Details
- Profile changes save instantly — no "Save" button needed. You'll see a confirmation toast.
- Your home airport affects which routes MileIntel monitors proactively. Changing it updates your shared route subscriptions.
- Cabin preference is a default, not a lock. You can override it per trip.
Tips
- Set your home airport before doing anything else. It's the single most impactful setting for recommendation quality.
