Does The Flight Tracker send alerts for delays or gate changes?
Yes, the app sends push notifications for delays and gate changes, and they are usually very reliable. In many cases, you'll get the alert before the airport screens even update, helping you plan your pickup or arrival accordingly.
Why are my 'Flight Landed' notifications sometimes delayed?
