Can someone give me a hand.

Flight status

Is there a website I can check out my flight status more than a week in advance?

Do you think they would have accurate information that far out?

You can change the date on your phone and add the flight to push notifications in the app.

Okay, I'm useless. I tried using the tool on my phone and i can't seem to find the load. I just want to see 6/19/17 SFO to CDG to check on avail of business class. Can someone walk me through how to do this?

Punch in the required information into this the form:


In your case it's UA990 06/19/17 SFO CDG


Press the Get Flight Status Button


After that it's up to UA's stellar IT infrastructure to send back the information. For this particular flight I could not get the mobile site to load but the desktop site is working fine...

It doesn't always work on the regular site the first few times, either. Sometimes it takes reloading a few times.

To to be fair, I rarely see this on the regular flight status (within 2 days of departure), and that's what UA intended us to be able to see. So anything the tool works for is a bonus.

I can get it to work. It sometimes does take the better part of a minute to load:

Same here, although I do get the "unable to find flight" error every now and then. Retrying seems to fix it.
