That's interesting! LH772 shows up here as well. It still seems to be a hit or miss. OS122, BT244, LH440 all don't show up, LH904 does. Very strange.
yeah, I tried that flight no as thats the only Lufthansa flight ive taken recently, but then I tried the euro wings connecting flight which I had a Lufthansa flight number for and that didnt work.
I don’t know what’s weirder
That it’s apparently been there for years and most of us didn’t notice and macrumors never mentioned it.
Or the fact that it doesn’t seem finished or polished. If it was new you’d think they’d work on it more but if it’s years old then theyve forgotten about it too.
I've known about it for ages, and I'm sure it was mentioned here when it first came out some time in 2018.
However, I don't find it that useful as typically I look at flight details for flights I'm booked on, in which case the relevant airline app is better. Or if one wants to check average delays etc. then Flightaware works well.
I've heard good things about the app "Flighty" and I gave it a go, but it's not cheap and really more suited to those who fly a lot, typically for work.
Edit: Feature was present from iOS9!

Yes. Turning Siri ON and adjusting the setting above makes this feature work. Otherwise it doesn't.
You don't have to enable Siri the voice assistant. Just the toggle from the post you quoted.
Now that would have been really useful to the Allies in WW2 to track those U boats.

for me, its not about when im flying myself, its about when someone is coming here. living on an island and working in tourism, im constantly checking flightradar so this is so much quicker.
