Flights

When to use

Live status, schedules, gates, and delays for a flight the user names.

Setup

Two paths:

1. Web (no setup). Flight number + date via web search; good enough for

status, terminals, and delays.

1. FlightAware AeroAPI (structured data). Needs the user's API key, or

fail loud: curl -H "x-apikey: $FLIGHTAWARE_API_KEY" https://aeroapi.flightaware.com/aeroapi/flights/{ident}

Workflow

1. Confirm the flight identifier and date — never guess between same-number

daily flights.

1. Report status, scheduled vs actual times, origin/destination, and terminal/gate.
2. State the timezone of every time quoted.

Non-goals

• Do not book, change, or cancel travel.
• Do not look up other people's itineraries from a name alone.
• Do not quote times without their timezone.
