Family Tracking
Know when your loved ones land — without asking them to check in
Waiting for a family member's flight to land is one of the most universal anxieties in modern travel. You check your phone every 10 minutes. You refresh the airline's website. You text them, forgetting they're in the air with no connectivity. You show up at the airport too early, or worse, too late because a delay wasn't communicated.
Family Tracking eliminates this entirely. Add your family members' flights to your shared Family dashboard, and you'll see all their flights in one place with real-time status, live aircraft position, and accurate estimated arrival times. When a delay happens, you're notified automatically. When they land, you get a confirmation notification without them having to send a single message.
For the person picking up family at the airport, this is transformative. Instead of calling repeatedly or making multiple trips to the arrivals hall, you can watch the flight approach on the live map, get a landing notification, and time your arrival at the pickup zone to within 5 minutes. No more circling the airport. No more lengthy waits in the car park.
Family Tracking works as a shared experience too. Set up a Family group and invite up to 6 members. Everyone can see everyone else's flights. When the whole family is traveling separately to the same destination — a wedding, a reunion, a holiday — one shared view replaces the chaos of WhatsApp message threads and missed updates.
The feature requires no action from the traveler. You add their flight; they don't need to install the app or do anything special. The flight tracking happens automatically from publicly available ADS-B data. Privacy is preserved: you only see flights you've explicitly added, not the person's location generally.
Family Tracking is available on all Pro and Family subscription plans. The Family plan supports up to 6 members sharing a single subscription — making it the most cost-effective option for households that travel regularly.
