What to do if Flightaware is not working for you
Is it them or you?
Our last check reached flightaware.com normally, from a different network, resolver and route than yours. If it is broken for you, the fault is most likely local or too narrow for a single probe to see. Our next automated check runs within 20 minutes and this page updates with it.
The first thing worth trying
Screenshot your boarding pass now, before you need it. A saved pass keeps working when retrieval does not. This is the single most useful precaution in this category.
How travel services typically fail
Check-in fails, the app cannot retrieve a booking, airport screens stop updating. Existing bookings usually still exist - retrieval is what broke - though that is no comfort at a gate. The rest of the steps, and why this category breaks the way it does, are on our travel status page, with more background in the biggest outages on record.

An expired certificate stops browsers loading a site entirely while the server itself stays perfectly healthy, which is why we track it beside the uptime figure.
