Wayfarer tracks more about your flight than any other app, including the two biggest causes of delays. See exactly what's happening and how it affects your trip, so you can stop refreshing and start relaxing.
Finally, see why you’re delayed.
Airlines often hold back delay news until the last minute. Wayfarer doesn't. We follow your inbound aircraft a full day ahead, so we can predict a new departure time well before the airline tells you.
50m Delay Predicted
Inbound aircraft is running late out of Chicago.
Delay predictions, hours ahead. Late inbound planes cause most delays. Wayfarer uses machine learning to spot delays from late arriving aircraft, often up to 6 hours before the airline posts anything.

Straight from the tower. Air traffic control programs are the second biggest cause of delays. Wayfarer reads them for you and flags what could hit your flight: ground stops, weather and airport issues.
DEN Arrivals
Flights to DEN on hold
Some flights to DEN (not this one yet) are held for the next 30 min. due to high winds. Chance of extension is 40-55%.

I've tried every flight tracker since my old favorite shut down. Wayfarer is the one. Clean, calm, genuinely useful (it even follows the INBOUND plane for your flight). It regularly tells me about delays before the airline does!
Great travel app!
If you fly at all, Wayfarer is fantastic. It really does get delay updates faster than the airlines send them. The app is so clearly built with care and attention to detail. All the extra flight info and the lifetime passport are great too.
