This Flica Bot guide willl help you to understand its features and filters so you can configure it well according to your priorities.
Email Address: Place your subscription email
Select Folder: Select General or Premium
Crew Class: Select crew class as a state to get a trip for
Credit: All trips come up with credit at Flica (Credit is hours of pay. If it’s 1000, then 10 hours of pay). You can define/set your credit as 1100 or more. If the available trip’s credit is equal to or more than yours, only then the bot will submit a request. Though it’s optional, you can ignore it.
Set Dates: Set dates (multiple) to get trips for these dates only.
BCID: The bot automatically generates and visits the link/URL for your selected folder (General or Premium) and Crew class. But if you do notice that the bot-generated link/URL is not related to your folder and crew class. Then you can manually select folder and crew class from your Flica account and then check its’ link/URL It should be like this: https://frontier.flica.net/full/otframe.cgi?BCID=045.051
Copy the number (As shown in above image green-highlighted) after BCID from this link/URL in put it in this BCID field.
Start/Stop Reporting Time: Choose the start/stop reporting time to allow the bot to take trips for that selected timeline only.
An option (checkbox) has been added to get only trips after the reporting start time (if checked/enabled).
Newly Added Filters for 2024-2025
Layover: You can define a layover for the bot to capture and request trips only for that layover.
Bid Pos: If your Flica view provides a bid position that may be used to differentiate general or premium flights by bid position value (e.g., “F”), you can enter the bid position value to grab only flights that contain that bid position.
Deadhead Trips: There’s an additional checkbox for deadhead trips. If you enable it, the bot will only apply to deadhead trips.
TB Trips: If you don’t want TB trips, you can enable the “Exclude TB trips” option in the bot interface.
Premium X Column: If your Flica view has a separate premium column where values such as “X” define premium trips, there’s an option to enable the Premium X column only. The bot will then follow trips with “X” in the premium column.
Test Mode: For new subscribers/users who aren’t sure how the bot will work, they can enable Test Mode. In this mode, the bot will only send email notifications about trips with results that meet your criteria. Once you’re sure the bot is correctly identifying trips, you can disable Test Mode to let the bot submit requests.
Alert Mode: This is for our development team. If the bot doesn’t work or encounters an issue, you can enable this mode, and it will prompt a notification about the issue so our team can fix it. (Do not enable this unless suggested by our team.)
Date Vs. Days (Combination)
Date Filter
The date field in the Flica Bot is an input field with a calendar that will let to select dates to check trips for those selected dates.
Example:
Your selected dates from calendar:
8 Oct, 15 Oct, 21 Oct
Days Filter
The days’ field is a simple text input field where you can set the number of days (comma separated) as 2,3,4 and this compares if available trips have any number of days that you specified.
Example:
You put no of days as: 2,3,4
Suppose these 2 trips are available on Flica as:
- #Trip-01: Days 1 | Date 15 Oct (Bot will ignore it because it has a date 15 OCT that you want but the days in this trip is just 1 but you want 2,3,4)
- #Trip-02: Days 2 | Date 16 Oct (Bot will ignore it because it has a days 2 that you want but the date in this trip is 16 OCT but you want a one for 8 OCT, 15 OCT, and 21 OCT)
- #Trip-03: Days 3 | Date 21 Oct (Bot will submit this (if not disabled) because it has days 3 that you want. And date is 21 OCT that you also want)
Flica Bot Guide For Reporting Time Filter
Set Reporting Start Time:
All trips must have a report time as shown above, Under Set Reporting Start Time, you can set your time to let the bot check and consider only trips if your starting time is less or equal to the reporting time showing on Flica trips.
Set Reporting End Time:
Under Set Reporting End Time, you can set your time to let the bot check and consider only trips if the trip reporting time is less or equal to to your specified Reporting end time.
Condition becomes like this: If your starting time is less or equal to the trip reporting time and the trip reporting time is less or equal to your ending time only then bot submit a request.
However, if you don’t want to use this filter about “Reporting Time” then keep both fields’ start and end time empty. If you want this filter then must fill/set value for both start and end time.
Test Mode: For new users who want to test its efficiency and accuracy first without getting a wrong trip, they can enable “Test Mode” so the bot will only notify you whenever it finds a trip but will not submit any request. It will also notify you whether the trip was up to your filters/conditions or not.
Secured Searching of Trips:
Our Flica bot works exactly the same as you do manually on Flica. It doesn’t have any background process. It works live on the Chrome browser, everything will be in front of you. It’s just like a robot sitting on your computer/laptop and checking for trips for you. There’s no way that Flica will know whether you’re using a bot or operating manually. The only thing that may Flica concern, is if you use and run the bot 24/7 then Flica may notice how someone can sit and look for a trip 24/7. Therefore, you can run it for a certain time and then it’s good to go.
