====== Flights ======

//[[de:fluege|🇩🇪 Deutsche Version]]// · [[en:start|← Overview]]

===== Adding a flight =====

  - In the trip tap **“+”** and choose **Flight**.
  - Enter the **airline code** (2 characters, e.g. ''BA'') and the **flight number** (e.g. ''117'') and check the date.
  - Tap **Search**: departure and arrival airport, times (local time), terminal, gate, aircraft type and airline logo are filled in automatically.
  - Save.

**No result?** Charter or very short-notice flights aren't always found. Simply enter airports and times **manually** – the flight works normally, just without live data.

===== Live status (Premium) =====

With Premium (or in group trips), Explority keeps your flights up to date while the app is open:

  * **Status:** on time, delayed, departed, landed, cancelled – with a coloured badge.
  * **New times:** delays are shown next to the scheduled time; your itinerary moves along.
  * **Terminal and gate** as soon as they're known.
  * Updates become more frequent the closer departure gets (in the last hours roughly every 15 minutes).

In **group trips** the trip leaders fetch the live data; all participants receive the update via sync.

===== Reminders and alerts =====

^ Alert ^ When ^
| **Online check-in** | when the airline opens check-in (usually 24 hours before; some airlines 23 or 30 hours; at night not before 7 am) |
| **Boarding** | 15 minutes before boarding, or 1 h 15 min before departure |
| **Delay / change** | from 15 minutes of delay, new times, terminal or gate change, cancellation, landing |

Configure under **Settings → Notifications → Flights**. → [[en:notifications|Notifications]]
