Airport display boards can run up to 10 minutes behind what’s actually happening on the taxiway. A good flight tracker pulls from the same ADS-B transponder feeds that air traffic control uses — so you know about a delay or gate change before the board does.
If you’re meeting someone off a long-haul, track from about 90 minutes before landing. That’s when you’ll see the accurate “on stand” time, which is usually 15–25 minutes later than the scheduled arrival. If you’re connecting, check your inbound flight the day before — a delayed inbound is the single most common reason for missed connections and knowing early gives you options.
We pull from commercial aviation feeds (AviationStack, FlightAware) which aggregate ADS-B signals, airline schedule files, and airport operational data. Updates arrive every 15–60 seconds.
Most airports only publish the gate 45–90 minutes before departure. International gates are often published later than domestic ones. If you see “TBA” on the tracker, the airline hasn’t shared the gate yet.
Only if the aircraft has ADS-B turned on and the operator hasn’t opted into a privacy block. Scheduled commercial flights are always trackable.
“On time” = within 15 minutes of schedule. “Delayed” = more than 15 minutes behind. “Departed” = wheels up. “Landed” = wheels down. “On stand” = at the gate with doors open. “Cancelled” = removed from the day’s schedule.
Indian flights are covered by DGCA passenger-rights rules (CAR Section 3, Series M), not EU261 — so there are no fixed €250/400/600 payout tiers. Instead the airline’s duties are framed around care, refund and re-routing. For long delays the airline must provide meals and refreshments, and hotel accommodation where an overnight wait is involved. For a cancellation notified less than two weeks before departure, you are entitled to either a full refund or an alternate flight, plus fixed compensation of roughly ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 depending on the block time of the flight. For a denied boarding due to overbooking, compensation can run to about ₹10,000–₹20,000 alongside an alternate flight or refund. Use our compensation calculator to estimate what you are owed under DGCA rules.
The underlying data is the same. Airlines also have their own internal operational data (crew, catering, fuel) that we don’t get — but for passenger-facing status, gate and timing, we show the same numbers.
