The problem

Manually Checking Flight Status Gets Old

You're switching between flight tracking apps and the airline website, refreshing every few minutes. It works, but there should be an easier way.

The solution

Get Updates Sent to You

Enter the flight number and your phone number. SkyText sends you texts when they depart, if there's a delay, and when they land.

  • SMS updates for departure, delays, and landing
  • No need to keep checking apps
  • Works with any airline
  • Add up to 5 recipients

1

Enter the flight number

Type the flight number (like BA123 or EK29). We verify it against live data.

2

Add your phone number

Enter the mobile number where you want to receive updates.

3

Get a text when they land

We track the flight and send you an SMS the moment they touch down.
