There are people who are so fond of flying that they know all the tricks to find cheap flights on Google Flight or have even tried flight simulators . If this is your case, or if you are simply waiting for a person who is traveling and you want to know where they are going right now, following a flight in real time from your mobile can be very practical. And there are numerous applications that can make this task easier for us at any time or place so that we know at all times where the plane we are interested in is.

Flightradar 24
In this application we will only have to indicate the number of the flight we are interested in and we will be able to access real-time information about it, including notifications that we will receive in case of delays or any news that may be important.
One of the strong points of this application is that it allows us to see the pilot’s perspective in three dimensions at the exact moment in which we are checking the flight. Something that may not be its most practical feature but that differentiates it from other similar apps.
Flightaware
In this application you can access all the information about the flight you indicate by adding only its number. In addition, you can see a full-screen flight tracking map , so you can see the flights corresponding to all the planes that are currently flying over the place where you are or the area that interests you.
You’ll be able to receive notifications when a flight departs, arrives, and when there are any expected delays in arrival, so you can always stay up to date.

Live planes
This app allows you to check all the necessary information about the flight you want, so you can choose the best time to go pick up your family at the airport without having to wait or arrive late. It can be programmed to send you an unlimited number of alerts , so you don’t have to keep an eye on the plane all the time to know where it is going.
App in the air
In principle, this application is designed to book flights and organize trips , so it may not seem like what we are looking for.
However, once we have added a flight, it gives us all the necessary information about it. Thus, we can see what time it leaves, if there are any delays planned and the location in real time where it is at the moment. Therefore, it can be a very interesting app not only for the person travelling but also for the person waiting for them at the destination.
byAir
This app, in addition to giving us real-time information about the status of the flight we are interested in, also offers us everything we need to know about airports around the world. If you don’t know where your boarding gate is or where you have to go to pick up the person who is flying, this app has simple maps that will help you.
Flight Tracker & Flight Radar
This app has all the information that travellers and family members who have to wait to pick them up at the airport may need. For the former, if you enter a flight, it will notify you of any changes in the departure time or boarding gate , so that you can make sure that you are never left stranded. And if you need to wait for someone to pick them up, if you search for their flight you can see where they are in real time , so that you can choose the best time to go to the airport to pick them up.
Aena
The Aena app allows us to access all the necessary information about flights arriving or departing from any of the 43 airports we can find in Spain. In addition to seeing where our flight is going , we can also access other interesting information such as the option to reserve parking or the location of cafes to have a drink while we wait.
Flight Tracker Radar Live 24
This application allows us to access flight maps in real time, so that we can know at any time where the plane we are interested in is or what planes are flying over our area at that moment. In addition, it also updates the weather information , so that we can guess if we are going to encounter turbulence and the like.
Airtracker
This application is, in principle, very similar to the previous ones. If we add a flight to it, we can find out all the information about it and see a real-time map of where it is located. But what makes it different from other similar tools is that it allows us to see 3D animations so that we can get an idea of what is happening on the plane in a much more realistic way.
Flight tracker
Finally, this app allows you to access all the details of any flight that is currently flying over any point on the planet. From its real-time location to the expected departure and arrival times. You can even add your boarding passes to carry them directly in this app, without having to use any additional tool.
It’s ad-free and has the option to sync information with your calendar app so you don’t miss anything.
