There are several ways to find flights on Flightradar24. These options are explained in more detail below.


Search by a flight number, aircraft registration, or call sign

To search, visit our website or app and use the search bar at the top of the screen. Enter the flight number, aircraft registration, or call sign, then select the relevant option from the results. You can view airline or aircraft information, follow the live flight (if it’s airborne), or see recent and scheduled flights.



Search for data from the Data page

You can also find flights by using our Data page. Enter the details you know about the flight and select the correct option from the results. This feature allows you to search by airport, flight route, aircraft, or specific flight.



Find flights on the map

If the flight you’re looking for is currently airborne and you know its approximate location, you can find it directly on the map. Simply navigate to the relevant area and select aircraft icons from the map. You might not select the correct flight immediately, but this is a quick and simple way to locate it.


Find flights from airport arrival/departure boards

You can also locate a flight by using the airport arrival or departure boards. Navigate to the airport you’re interested in and select either “Arrivals” or “Departures”. Scroll through the list and click on your flight. From there, you can view aircraft and flight information, playback the flight, or show it on the map (if it’s live).
