Hello, main reason I've made this tool is to provide a quick look into the flights bound to the flight number with mobile-first design. Compared to other flight lookup services, it only shows future flights, prints the plane model and respects the crappy airport connection. Technical background: flask + flightaware API + milligram.css. It has been an enjoyable UX project. Thanks for trying!

I appreciate the feedback. I've just tried an example flight: AIC124 and seen it worked, hopefully you're trying the similar format (ICAO).

Even that is giving a server error. Generally in India, IATA codes are used for flight numbers.

Thank you for the heads up, I've found the issue were I was using and old airport database from 2017 (source of error / missing airport code), now turned it into a self healing one using the API. So, error should be gone.

Actually, flight codes with IATA should've also worked but API returns no results for now, I will have to ask them asap. Best

Hello again, I couldn't get an answer from the provider so I've acquired IATA codes and added a local conversion. Now it should cover the most of the airlines. Cheers
