How to Find Flight Details

Every airline flight has certain "flight details," which travelers like to know for convenience when traveling. These include flight numbers, departure times, arrival times, aircraft type and schedule changes. Keeping track of flight details will help travelers prepare properly and make their scheduled flights, and those picking up travelers can better plan for for an airport arrival. Most flight details can be found on the Internet using an airline's websites, but phone services, airport travel agents and even mobile-phone applications also can be used.

      Return to the website you used to originally book your flights. This may be a specific airline's website or it may be a bargain ticket website such as Travelocity or Orbitz. Use your login information, including user name and password, to gain access into the site. Enter your flight confirmation number when prompted; this will give you your flight details. From this hub, you might even be able to print your tickets and check in online.

      Call the airline's customer service phone number from a touch-tone phone. Follow the voice prompts to select the option for flight details, and enter your flight confirmation number when requested. If you do not know the confirmation number, follow the voice prompts to request an airline representative who can find your flight details on the airline's database.

      Find your airline's check-in kiosk after entering the airport terminal. Punch in your confirmation number or swipe the credit card used to purchase your tickets. These automated check-in machines store flight information and can retrieve your details when the proper identification is scanned or entered.
