ClarksFlight is a flight tracker built by a crew member — for crew, casual and frequent travelers, and aviation enthusiasts. Live tracking, live updates, and real human support, so you always know a real person (and fellow crew member) has your back. We'll even do the heavy lifting for you. Carry-ons not included. Add any flight by number, or let ClarksFlight look it up for you, then follow it in real time: live status, gate changes, delays, and the aircraft's position on the map from pushback to arrival. Need eyes on something? Send an On-Demand request and a real person will help. Your trips organize themselves, so a multi-leg pairing reads as one clean trip instead of a pile of separate flights — and you can log your hotels, crew, and notes along the way. FOR CREW - Automatic duty and block time totals for every trip, with editable Report and Release times to match your airline's real show times - Trip and calendar views built around pairings and layovers - Keep track of the crew you've flown with and the hotels you've stayed at - Overnight and layover details at a glance FOR EVERY TRAVELER - Real-time tracking with a live map, gates, and status - Share your flights with friends and family — or watch theirs - A running passport of everywhere you've flown - Fear of Flying support, right in the app MEMBERSHIP ClarksFlight is free to start.
