Delayed Flight Tracker - Today’s Flight Cancellations and Delays

How can I track my flight delay?

To check the status of your delayed flight, simply enter your basic details, such as the airline or departure airport, into the AirAdvisor Flight Delay Tracker. Click the search button, and you will instantly see whether your UK flight is delayed or canceled today.

If you don’t see your flight listed, good news! It might be on time and operating as usual, it might be too soon or too old to check, or it may operate under a “code-sharing” agreement, meaning your specific flight number may not be listed.

Whatever the reason, you can still check for compensation eligibility using our free flight compensation checker tool.
