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.

Founded in 2005, FlightAware was acquired by Collins Aerospace in 2021.

Easily track the status of your flight, check for any delays on the inbound aircraft, see weather radar, and set up alerts to be notified of any changes – all for free!

A position-only flight is a flight for which FlightAware has not received a filed flight plan (for example an airline flight that doesn't report its flight schedule to FlightAware or a VFR flight).
