Can you know where the plane is coming from?
« on: January 25, 2011, 11:58:32 PM »
My wife has a flight tomorrow on American Airlines and I want to know where that plane is coming from... Basically, because of the snow tomorrow in NY - I want to know if the plane is coming from NY or elsewhere...

Is there a way to know on AA where the plane is coming from?

If it's a connecting flight (the one coming in) the flight number is sometimes the same for all legs of the trip. Don't know if that's on AA too, but it's worth a shot. So you should be able to check the flight status based on the flight number and see where it's coming from.
Or you can try calling AA.
Good luck.

Gotta call 'em.
I wish all airlines would show the incredible detail (incoming aircraft, upgrade and standby waitlist prioritized with peoples names, in-flight entertainment offered, etc) that you can see on CO's flight status.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
