How to Track International Flights Online

Tracking international flights used to be a difficult process involving calling airlines and hoping they had up to date information. Now, there are several online resources which provide real-time information for every flight in the air at any given time. In many cases, you do not even need a flight number, just the destination, air carrier, and date of flight. These websites allow you to stay on top of delays and arrival times with pinpoint accuracy.

Instructions

- 1
  Locate a flight tracker website online. Examples are Free Flight Tracker, Flytestats, IFly or Flytecomm.
- 2
  Type in the required information to narrow the flight search results to fit your tracking needs and select the "Search" button. Depending on the website your information may include flight number, airline carrier, departure date, departure and arrival locations and airports.

  View the results and ensure they reflect the specific flight or flights you wish to track. Review the real time flight information for estimated arrival times, actual departure times, delay information and current location.
