Frequently asked questions
Can I track a specific United Airlines flight in real-time?
Yes! Use the get_flight_status tool with the flight number (just the numeric part, e.g., "123" for UA123). You'll receive live status updates including departure/arrival times, gate, terminal, baggage belt, and whether the flight is scheduled, active, landed, delayed, or cancelled.
How can I see all United flights departing from a specific airport today?
Use the get_departures tool with the airport's IATA code (e.g., "SFO" for San Francisco, "EWR" for Newark). Optionally provide a date in YYYY-MM-DD format. This returns all United departures with flight numbers, destinations, times, gates, and current status.
Can I check if United Airlines operates a route between two specific airports?
Absolutely! Use the get_route tool with the origin and destination airport IATA codes (e.g., from_iata="SFO", to_iata="LHR"). It will tell you if United serves that route and provide route details including codeshare information.
Can I find all delayed or cancelled United flights at an airport?
Yes! Use the get_flights_by_status tool with the airport IATA code, set status to "delayed" or "cancelled", and specify "departure" or "arrival". This is invaluable for assessing operational disruptions and planning alternatives.
Can I review historical flight performance to check if a route is typically on-time?
Yes! Use the get_flight_history tool with the airport IATA code, a past date in YYYY-MM-DD format, and "departure" or "arrival" type. You'll see actual vs scheduled times, delays, and cancellations to analyze punctuality patterns.
