Track Connecting Flights
Two flights, one journey. Get alerts for both segments.
By Tom Walsh
Track a FlightThey're flying London to Sydney via Singapore. Two flights, one booking, and the anxiety of "did they make the connection?"
The connection problem: - Tight layovers mean stress about making the next flight - Long layovers mean hours of uncertainty - Airport delays can cascade into missed connections - You can't tell if silence means "in transit" or "stuck"
How to track connecting itineraries: 1. Get both flight numbers from the booking 2. Add each as a separate flight in SkyText 3. Get a text when they land at the hub 4. Get another text when they land at the final destination
The first landing confirmation tells you they've made it to the connection point. If the second flight is delayed or rebooked, you'll know to expect a different arrival time.
For complex itineraries (three+ flights), track each segment. Each landing is a confirmation they're progressing.
