AND ALSO you can track a flight all the way there - For example, tomorrow morning our flight leaves Birmingham at (allegedly, it's always late by 15-30 minutes - every week - I think it's just a departure time to get through the loading gate!) 07:10. So in Flightradar24 you can type TOM7534 at, say 7:30am and it should have taken off and you can then watch it move across Europe and actually get there. If you have other things to do (like getting a life), you can instead catch up and watch it land at about 10:30 our time. Geek, yes, but so gratifying! Thomas cook flights are prefixed TCX. Sometimes they all try to fool you with a different number.
I shall be watching ours tomorrow morning and every week until we go in six weeks time. Geek. And anticipation. And excitement. And stuff.

You sound as sad as me Dennisn. I find this app absolutely fascinating.

Yes, I am a saddo with the app. When I first heard of someone watching their flight go to Skiathos I scoffed at her for being a sad geek.
The boot's on the other foot now and she has ribbed me for it. The only thing I need to complete my techno-geekiness is for Skiathos municipality to mend their webcam.
