How this service works
Pay-per-request access to flights, award availability, hotels, activities, and transfers. No auth, no subscriptions.
Output
A JSON object containing the flight's current latitude, longitude, altitude (in hundreds of feet), heading (degrees), ground speed (knots), timestamp of the last position update, altitude change direction (C for climbing, D for descending), update type, and the FlightAware flight ID.
Example use cases
Real-time flight monitoring for nervous passengers
“My flight UA456 should be landing soon — can you check where it is right now? I want to know its current altitude, how fast it's going, and whether it's still descending to the airport.”
Travel assistant tracking delayed connections
“I need to know if my connecting flight DAL789 is on the way yet. Can you grab its live position, altitude, and heading so I can figure out if I'll make my connection in time?”
Flight status updates for family notifications
“My parents are landing soon on flight SWA234. Can you pull up where their plane is right now — I want to see its current coordinates, altitude, and speed so I know roughly when to pick them up.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://stabletravel.dev/api/flightaware/flights/id/positionWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the live position of a specific flight and already have or can derive the FlightAware flight ID. Prefer this over generic flight search endpoints when you want real-time coordinates, altitude, and heading rather than schedule or fare data. Best suited for flight tracking dashboards, travel apps monitoring a specific booked flight, or agents answering 'where is my flight now' queries.
Side effects
- Invalid or unknown fa_flight_id returns an error or empty result
- Flight has landed or not yet departed — no live position available
- FlightAware upstream data delay may result in stale position data
- Malformed flight ID format causes a 400 or 422 error
- Network or payment processing failure returns a 402 or 5xx response
