Air Caraibes delayed flight time

  1. Have a Lexority lawyer to tell you how long the Air Caraibes flight delay was without any doubt. You have to be aware that the following tools 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 Caraibes status of all flights including those of years ago.
  3. Another option is entering to https://www.flightradar24.com/ where you can see the last seven days Air Caraibes flight delays without registering. After registration you can also see delayed flights from up to 2 years ago.

Must read: When the Air Caraibes delay is very close to three 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.
