Real Time Flight Tracker & Airport Delays from flightview (2024)

FAQs

How do you track if the flight is delayed? ›

Flight tracking apps and websites — FlightAware, Flightstats, and Flight Radar all track the departure and arrival of most commercial flights and are, without doubt, the best websites to check if your flight has been delayed, cancelled or diverted.

People can follow their flight of interest either on a designated flight tracking website or flight following apps. Flight tracker apps are easily downloadable on a tablet, smartphone or Android. These tracking tools are a great stress buster because you are able to have flight information in real time.

For what it's worth, I find FlightView to be very accurate for flight times...my job requires me to know exactly what time a given flight's wheels are touching down, and I find FlightView to be invaluable for that (honestly, more so than FlightAware, which is preferred by most on this site).

Route Errors

But many times, human error can cause us to mistakenly identify flights. If a pilot forgets to change the call sign after a flight or types in the wrong call sign into the flight management computer, we'll display the flight incorrectly.

For domestic flights, check-in usually begins 1-2 hours beforehand and often closes 30-45 minutes prior to departure. Despite flight delays, these check-in times and deadlines generally stay the same. This is because of the unpredictable nature of delays, which could be reduced or even reversed.

Use FlightAware to find out how often your flight is typically delayed. Another helpful way to avoid flight delays when you travel is to use FlightAware to see a history of when a particular flight has historically departed and landed.

According to the DOT, if your flight is “significantly” delayed, you may be entitled to a refund. Unfortunately, the agency does not define how long a significant delay is. Instead, it allows customers to file complaints to determine refund eligibility on a case-by-case basis.

If your flight's delayed for 3 or more hours

You're entitled to get compensation if the flight arrives more than 3 hours late and it's the airline's fault - for example, if they didn't get enough bookings or there was a technical fault.
