Best Flight Tracking Apps

These are the best flight tracker apps for iPhone, iPad and Android in 2020. These apps will help you save time, get you to your door on time, and stay connected.

Traveling can be stressful, especially when you have to be somewhere at a certain time or need to catch a connecting flight to get home at a reasonable hour.

One way to relieve some of that stress is to use an app to track your flight. Flight tracking apps have come a long way and now provide you with an incredible amount of information about your flight.

I’ve used many flight tracking apps over the years, mostly to help with the anxiety I feel when it’s time to travel.

I always recommend downloading the app from your favorite airline, but most of these apps only provide basic information about your trip. Some, for example the Hawaiian Airlines app, needs a ton of work.

If you want more than boarding and departure times, you’ll need to turn to the apps in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for assistance. If you don’t have the time or money to search for the best flight tracking app for yourself and your needs, you’re in the right place.

These are my favorite flight tracking apps and I rely on them when I travel. I tend to use FlightAware more than others, but they’re all capable. I recommend trying them all to see which UI is most comfortable for you.

These apps help you track an incoming flight, identify where your delayed flight might be, manage your flights, and stay informed of gate assignment changes.

Most of the apps are free, but some require an upfront fee or monthly subscription to unlock additional features. Make sure you read the reviews before spending your money.
