Pushback: Flight Tracker

Eend

About this app

Your flights, on a departures board. The gate the moment it is set, every delay in minutes, and the landing, with the tiles flapping only when something changes.

Add a flight by its number and the day it leaves. We put it on your board, walk you from home to the gate, name the lounge your status actually gets you into, and tell you what you may be owed when it goes wrong.

Every time is in the airport's own clock with UTC beside it, so you never work out a time zone again.
YOUR BOARD
• Your flights on a board of flap tiles, with a countdown to the next one.
• Add a flight by its number and the day it leaves. We find it and put it on the board.
• Each row has the time, where the flight goes, the gate and a remark in words, not color alone.
• Behind the board, a globe with the routes you have flown.
• Added the wrong flight? Remove it, and you have a few seconds to Undo.
• Bring your history: we read the flight files other flight trackers export, and every flight goes on your board and into your Passport.
THE FLIGHT
• The gate on a taxiway sign as soon as it is published.
• Departure and arrival in each airport's local time, with UTC beside them, and a +1 when the date changes.
• Delays in minutes, and the time the flight now leaves.
• Your seat in 3D: a cabin of your aircraft with your seat marked. Step into it and look around.
FLIGHT DAY
• From six hours before your next flight, one ongoing notification: the count to leaving, to the gate closing and to landing, the gate, and both times in local time and UTC.
• The count keeps running with the app closed.
NOTIFICATIONS
• We tell you when the gate is set or moves, when the flight is delayed, cancelled or diverted, and when you land.
• If Pond Hopping is on the same phone, flight alerts come from Pushback only, so nothing arrives twice.
• The same switches as Pond Hopping: set them once for both apps.
WHEN IT GOES WRONG
• What you may be owed: when a flight is cancelled or lands very late, we say which rule may cover it (EU261, UK261, Canada's APPR or the US DOT refund rule) and how much.
• Where your plane is coming from: the aircraft flying in to take you, and whether it is running late.
IN THE AIR AND LANDED
• How far along the flight is, and the time to landing at your destination and in UTC.
• After landing: the arrival gate and the baggage belt once they are published.
AT THE AIRPORT
• The way to the gate: your lounge, when to leave it and about when boarding starts, in the airport's time and UTC.
• We show a lounge only when your status, membership or cabin gets you in on this flight.
• The Velvet Rope is where you tell us your airline status, cards and lounge memberships. We never ask for a membership number.
• Disruptions, on the Airports tab: the airports with delays right now, on a map and in a list, worst first.
PASSPORT
• Flights, distance, hours in the air, airports and airlines, for this year or all time, and the flights behind them.
• Share the numbers with anyone.
FRIENDS
• A board of the flights of the people you follow: who is in the air, when they land, and who flies next.
• Bring someone: put another Pond Hopper, or anyone with an email address, on one of your flights, and we tell them.
YOUR EEND ACCOUNT
• No sign-up to start: your flights are kept on a silent account from the first launch.
• Sign in with Google or with a code by email to keep them on any phone.
• Already on Pond Hopping? Sign in with your Eend Account and your flights are there.
Pushback is made by eend, who also make Pond Hopping, the travel journal. One account works in both.

What’s new

New: the flight page rebuilt, with every stage on one line, airport signs, late in red and the sky of the departure hour. One countdown everywhere ("1h 02m"). The real track flown, on a paper map. Times and Units settings. Three widgets. Watch an airport. We tell you when there's a newer Pushback. Take a screenshot of a flight and we offer to share it. A Pond Hopper on no trip sees an empty Board apart from the examples.
