iPhone screen cap by Riley Arthur/The Points Guy You can find out pretty much everything about a flight, in real time, and anywhere in the world. But you can know a lot more than altitude, distance, aircraft type, airline and flight number. The two tables taken together will give you a pretty good idea of what is flying above you. If you have an iPhone, you can just ask “Siri, what flights are overhead?” - and the voice-activated digital assistant will return a screen like this one. We’ll talk about the two most commonly used apps, Flightradar24 and FlightAware, which both have iOS and Android versions and a website as well. You can use them to track aircraft you cannot see, too. If you are an AvGeek, you know that there are apps and sites you can use to track those planes and tell exactly what the one you’ve just seen fly over is. On any given day, even with the drop in air traffic due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are thousands of airplanes flying over the United States and the rest of the world - commercial jets, general aviation and private aircraft and military planes from various armed forces.
