Actual Flightinfo from Amadeus

I was browsing the TG site today and came across their flight info system that links to Amadeus. If you analyse the URL of the page generated and modify it, it can be used to display LH flight data.

For example the details of LH3022 MUCARN 25JAN2006 can be called up using this link:

https://wftc3.e-travel.com/PL/thai5/...HT_NUMBER=3022

As amadeus is the flight info system used by LH & OS, this is pretty good if you want to check the status of your flight or if you want to see how much LH was on-time for a particular route in the past few days.

This is really good and works for LX as well. For LX flights you even seem to get told how many passengers there are on board!

Interesting. It seems 198pax were on board LX14 LAX-ZRH:

https://wftc3.e-travel.com/PL/thai5/...IGHT_NUMBER=41

LX41, 198pax, 266.174kg takeoff weight, 91 tonnes of fuel :D

A typical UA flight: late in from DEN, cabin crew late in IAD, 20 min late in MUC:

Well, for flights within the US I find this tool much, much better. Updates every 5 min, tracks the actual flight on a map, displays airport traffic etc...

Nice tool, some interesting information are displayed ^ Thanks, oliver2002!

You can reach this page directly from Amadeus (seems more convenient this way):

Although more convenient, this page unfortunately does not show the interesting "Operational Flight Information" as the Thai page does, only "Planned Flight Information" and "Comments".

You can get this much easier (in the US) in entering in google either the 3 digit airport code followed by blank and the word airport like 'PHL airport' or you enter the airline followed by the flight number 'LH 426'.
You get the choice between Travelocity, Expedia and fboweb to show you the actual flight.

Make your own search page

If you don't like to erase&type it every time, you can use this tool.

1, Copy the text between "<html>" and "</html>"
2, Paste it on to a text editor (ie notepad.exe for PC users)
3, Save the file as ie "flightstatus.htm"
4, Click the file "flightstatus.htm" and enjoy

PHP Code:


		
			<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Flight Status</title>
</head>
