International Student Long Flight Experience
Yihan Wang
This Capstone project explores the physical and emotional challenges international students face during long-haul
flights. Based on personal experience and user research, it focuses on what students can control—preparation, mindset,
and comfort—rather than changing airline infrastructure. The result is Go Fly Go, a mobile app that provides academic
planning, emotional support, and travel tools to help students feel more prepared, connected, and at ease throughout
their journey.
Go Fly Go
Go Fly Go is the product outcome of this project—an app designed specifically for international students.
