Tracking inbound late flight
I am on the 209 to Mia tomorrow which is already showing as 90 mins late. Is there a way of identifying the inbound aircraft as wondering if I might delay my arrival into Heathrow as whilst the lounge is nice if I can stay at home a little longer then all the better.
Thank you
Thank you

At the moment it's showing a G-XLEE, which is already is doing the MIA run today as well as tomorrow, but that could change. And thanks to Conformance at T5, you probably don't have much choice but to be airside at least 35 minutes before the original departure time. The exception would be if BA sends out an email stating that it's ok to turn up later, but that rarely happens at LHR.

On days where there is a lot of disruption with lots of flights affected conformance is turned off completely as it can end up being more of a hinderance than a help.

Yep. We automatically track your inbound and alert you if anything starts to go wrong! Or if they swap the plane.
You can refresh FA or FR24 every 5 minutes throughout the day. Or we can just alert you. And we'll beat you're manually checking then too anyway, and show you the new inbound route and new plane's live location.😜
