The exact time of arrival of the aircraft is usually indicated on the ticket. But it may be that you meet someone, so you don't have a ticket on hand. It happens that the schedule has changed slightly or the plane is delayed. But no matter what happens, there is always an opportunity to find out the exact time of arrival.
Instructions
Step 1
Today, the easiest way to find out everything about what time, where and where the plane arrives is via the Internet. Type in the name of the arrival airport or the city if there is only one airport in the search engine. On most airport websites, you can find all the useful information about flights, flight schedules, including arrival times.
Step 2
If you know the flight number, just look for it on the list. In the case when the flight number is unknown, you can try to find out the time of arrival of the aircraft, orienting yourself according to the available data. View all flights from the desired departure city. If there are many options, look at which airlines fly these flights. All of this will significantly narrow your search. Usually, even without knowing the exact flight number, it is enough to look through the flights of a known carrier from a specific city in order to determine the time of arrival of the aircraft.
Step 3
When you are already at the airport, meeting someone, the easiest way to find out the time of arrival is to look at the information board. It lists all flights that the airport will receive in the near future. If the plane is delayed, its arrival time also changes. Sometimes it says only that the flight is delayed. In this case, you can try to get more accurate information from the airline employee.
Step 4
If you make the flight yourself and you need to find out the time of arrival in order to calculate your further plans or inform those who meet you, just look at your ticket. All the information you need is there. Remember that the time of arrival is indicated local, that is, it is relevant for the time zone in which the plane will land. Sometimes the actual arrival time is slightly different from the one promised by the carrier. This is due to the fact that various situations may arise due to which the planes are late. Despite the fact that this does not happen often, it does happen.
Step 5
Another way to find out the arrival time of your flight is to call the airport or the airline's support team. There is a help desk at every airport, and answering such questions is the job of its employees. If you are calling an airline, be prepared for a toll on the line. However, this is the best option if, for example, you are abroad and the airline is Russian. Even if the company is not Russian, usually the employees of its help desk speak English.
