The Flight Tracker

Flight details in one place

The Flight Tracker helps travelers and people meeting arriving passengers check flight status and airport information. Look up flights around the world for departure and arrival times, delays, terminals and gates. Airport boards show scheduled departures and arrivals, which can be useful when you need to check more than one flight at an airport.

Useful before and during a trip

Follow a flight on a map and receive alerts about status or schedule changes, including updates to departure times, arrival times, gates and terminals. The app can also keep travel details together: add flights to Trips, attach notes, and share flight information with someone else. Boarding passes can be added by scanning their QR code.

• Check local weather for a destination.
• Sync trip details with a calendar or TripIt account.
• View terminal maps for major airports and use maps with offline viewing available.

Who it suits

This is a practical choice for frequent travelers who want flight updates alongside their trip details, as well as anyone checking when to leave for an airport pickup. Its alerts can reduce the need to repeatedly check a flight manually, while airport boards help with a broader view of activity at a particular airport. Some extras, including an ad-free experience, widgets and seat maps, are listed as Premium features.

A well-used travel utility

Developed by Impala Studios, The Flight Tracker has 5,000,000+ installs and a 3.87 rating from 33,990 reviews. Those figures suggest it has reached a substantial travel audience, though the rating is a reminder that experiences vary. It is most likely to earn its space on a phone if you regularly travel, coordinate airport pickups or value having flight changes gathered in one app.
