Flight Status gives you live tracking for any commercial flight or airport in the world. Whether you're waiting at the gate, picking someone up, or just keeping tabs on a connection, this tool tells you exactly what's happening in real time.
It pulls gate assignments, terminal numbers, delay minutes, and the gap between scheduled and actual departure or arrival times — so you always know what's actually going on, not just what was planned.
What you can do
- check_flight — look up any flight by number to see current status, delay info, gate, terminal, and scheduled vs actual times
- airport_departures — get the full departure board for any airport worldwide, up to 12 hours ahead
- airport_arrivals — get the full arrivals board, useful for planning pickups or monitoring inbound connections
Who it's for
Travelers who want to stay one step ahead of delays, ground transport coordinators, and anyone managing complex itineraries with tight connections. Also useful for apps or workflows that need live flight data without building API integrations from scratch.
How to use it
- Use check_flight with a flight number like BA115 or DL1 — it defaults to today but accepts a specific date
- If you don't know the flight number, look up the departure or arrivals board with airport_departures or airport_arrivals using the IATA airport code (LHR, JFK, SYD)
- Set hours_ahead to narrow or widen the time window shown on airport boards
