UPDATE: Due to a lack of funds, I had to shut down the hosting server. It's a sad day, but such is life. At least I can now focus on finding a new source of income.
This bot will tweets information about flights based on their numbers.
Use it by tagging it with @TrackFlightBot and following it with a flight number like this: /@TrackFlightBot AA127
A reply will be sent to the user by the bot:
- Flight number and airline name
- Name of the original airport
- Departure time in UTC timezone
- Name of the arrival airport
- Estimated Time of Arrival in UTC timezone
- The altitude of the plane, in feet
- A map image of the plane's status
For the bot to function, the plane's transponder must be on, meaning the flight must be active.
