Commuting airline crew and flight-status checkers
Worth noticing
Orange times mark a difference from the stream’s originalDeparture value; the page says this alone does not confirm a delay.

Field notes

Searches use an airline’s ICAO callsign—for example, the page contrasts SWA4208 with WN4208—and return FAA TFMS recorded updates in UTC. The page defines its displayed proposed ETD as an estimated wheels-up time, not gate departure, and explains that orange times only mark a difference from the stream’s originalDeparture value. Records with confirmed takeoff or landing are hidden from this departure lookup; unconfirmed records expire after six hours under the stated conditions.
