How do I know how long was Air Caledonie flight delayed?

1. Contact a Lexority specialist to tell you how long the Air Caledonie flight has been delayed without a doubt. Take in to account that the following webpages are not always accurate and need a payment record.
2. Use the web http://www.flightstats.com/ where if you register you can see the Air Caledonie status of all flights including those of years ago.
3. Another way is to go to Flight Radar where you can see the last 7 days Air Caledonie flight delays without registering. After registration you can also see delayed flights from up to 2 years ago.

Advice: When the Air Caledonie delay is very close to 3 hours, Flightradar24 is not 100% accurate, 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.
