Check your flight’s departure punctuality

A timetable tells you when a plane is meant to leave. How often it actually leaves on time is a different question. We sample departure and arrival boards throughout the day and keep the history: when a flight was scheduled to go, and when the wheels actually left the runway. The gap between those two moments is the real delay.

Enter the flight number from your ticket — LO282, for example — and you will see how many departures we have observed, the average and median delay, and the share that left on time. This is not a forecast: it is what has already happened to this flight before. Useful when you are planning a connection, or working out how much time to allow for the border crossing on the way to the airport.

Both the ticket code (LO282) and the callsign (LOT282) work.

Departures are most accurate for the airports whose boards we sample continuously.
