How do I know how long the Airlink flight delay has been?
- Have a Lexority specialist to tell you how long was the delay of the Airlink flight without any doubt. Take in to account that the following websites are not always accurate and need a payment record.
- You can use the web http://www.flightstats.com/ where if you register you can see the Airlink status of all flights including those of years ago.
- Another way is accesing to https://www.flightradar24.com/ where you can see the last 7 days Airlink flight delays without registering. If you register you can also see delayed flights from up to two years ago.
Must read: When the Airlink delay is very close to three hours, Flightradar24 is not 100% reliable, since it shows the time of landing, but not the exit from the plane, which is what the law says has to be taken in consideration.
