Frequently asked questions

Are these real flight updates?

When the board is connected, it shows cached AirLabs records with a retrieval time. Some boards are partial. The directory includes 2,129 U.S. airport codes; selection alone does not prove schedule coverage. HOU, JFK, LAX, ANC and SHV returned records in our October 6, 2026 checks. A clearly labeled preview may be shown while the feed is disabled.

What can I use now?

You can search the U.S. airport directory, switch between arrivals and departures, filter flights, and inspect available provider snapshots. Saving flights requires an account. The owner can publish direct sponsor creative in reserved ad spaces.

What does Plus include?

Plus is planned at $5.99 per month for an ad-free experience and future premium tools. Followed-flight choices and an alert inbox are built, but real alerts need a connected live feed. Phone push while the app is closed also needs mobile app registration and push credentials. No payment is collected.

Can I trust a gate or arrival time shown here?

Always verify with your airline. The free allowance limits refresh frequency to once every four hours per cached airport board, and a failed refresh may show an explicitly stale snapshot for up to twelve hours. Data is incomplete at some airports. A landed status does not establish arrival at the gate.

How do I remove my data?

Open My trips and account to remove a saved flight or delete your FlightFames data. You can also request deletion without signing in.
