How do I check the location of a flight?

Okay, so you wanna know how to track a flight, huh? Easy peasy! I’ve been there, done that, especially when I’m nervously waiting for my sister to arrive for the holidays. Ugh, the suspense!

Basically, the easiest way I’ve found is to use a flight tracking website. There are tons out there, but I personally like ixigo. Why? I don’t know, it just seems to work well for me, and it’s pretty straightforward, even for my tech-challenged mom.

So, you just head over to their Flight Status page – usually, you can find it right on their homepage, no problem. Then, and this is the key, you gotta know the flight number. It’s that little code the airline gives the flight, like AA123 or something. And don’t forget the date! You pop that info in, and bam! The site should (fingers crossed, technology, please work!) show you where that plane is right now.

You know, it’s kinda cool seeing the little plane icon moving across the map. Makes you feel connected, doesn’t it?

Anyway, the closer you get to the departure time, the site will also usually show you things like the gate number and when check-in opens. Super handy, right? Saves you from aimlessly wandering around the airport like a lost puppy! I’ve definitely been that puppy before. Let me tell you, not fun. So yeah, ixigo or one of those flight trackers, that’s my go-to. Hope that helps! And happy travels (or happy waiting!)
