Use it from your agent

Give your agent this line. It reads SKILL.md, gets a Fous API key and connects the Fous MCP server. Its run then takes the method flightradar24.com/check_flight_status with the inputs above.

Ask your agent

  • Is Lufthansa LH400 running on time today? I need the estimated arrival.
  • What's the status of American Airlines flight AA 2210 leaving on 2024-11-03?
  • Has Emirates EK 215 departed yet, and what aircraft is flying it?
  • Check whether Delta DL 88 from Atlanta on March 14 has been delayed and by how long.
  • Flightradar24 lookup: KLM KL 1009, departure 2025-01-20, need scheduled versus actual times.
  • Lists upcoming departures or arrivals at an airport from the Flightradar24 public airport board, with local times, airline, route, status and aircraft.

  • Checks the public FlightAware status of an airline flight (airline name or code plus number) on a departure date, by default today at the departure airport: airports, scheduled, estimated and actual gate times in local time, delays, gates, terminals, aircraft and distance. A date older than FlightAware's public two-week list is looked up on the flight's history page when FlightAware still shows it.

  • Checks today's delayed and cancelled departures and arrivals at an airport on FlightAware, with current weather and any reported FAA delay status. Delay averages and ground programs are returned only when FlightAware shows them; counts can be null when no statistics row is displayed.

  • Finds Google Flights options for a route and date with prices, local times, stops and emissions. Round-trip searches list outbound choices with their displayed round-trip fares.

  • Gets current FAA delay and closure events for a US airport, found by name, city or code. A city with several airports resolves to one of them, and reported delays may not cover every flight.

  • Gets the current or future-day service status for London Tube, Elizabeth line, DLR, Overground, tram or a named bus route. Multiple notices on one line are combined into the most disruptive status.

  • Finds Expedia flights between cities or airports on selected dates, with per-traveler USD prices. Round trips combine outbound and return choices; for round trips only the cheapest outbound choices are paired with their returns.

  • Lists the public arrivals or departures FlightAware shows for an airport (name, city, IATA/ICAO code or FlightAware link), with flight times and status. For a city with several airports it picks the busiest listed one and says so; the public board shows up to 20 flights per direction.
