tracking *international* flights
 
hi all,

i know about Flightstats.com, but it only allows you to track flights while they're in US airspace.

is there a site out there that you can recommend to track flights once they're in intl airspace?

thank you- DH en route Turkish Airways flight 2 right now! :)

Just past Newfoundland now. 608MPH ground speed, 36,000ft. 5:30 to go.

Let me take it back. It actually has stopped tracking it for about 2 hours. The data is the same as flightaware.com

Only difference is that flightexplorer showed the proposed waypoints on its route, and plotted it out on its map. But the plane should be further out in the Atlantic than what's on the graph.

On trips over the ocean, there are areas in which aircraft are out of radar range, so if the service depends on radar tracks, it may not show the entire track of a flight across the Atlantic or Pacific. The aircraft still make position reports, but the tracking system may not display those.

Okay, try this one:

flightview.com

Continental Airline's website use this one, and they do display actual aircraft location for international flights.
