Arrivals and Departures

Just dropped off someone at the airport? Navigate to the Airports tab and check out the next four hours of passenger arrivals and see if it's worth joining the queue!

The arrivals and departures will give you a glimpse of passengers landing and departing from the airport. Use the departures information to plan your trips to the airport at the best time. Usually, flyers allocate 1 hour for airport security and another hour for the drive up to the airport. So, if you check the schedule 2 hours before a busy departure period, you'll likely find more trips to the airport!

How to View Arrivals and Departures 

1. Navigate to the Airports tab
2. Based on your location, see the nearest airports with the next arrival peak
3. Tap on the airport name to see the number of passengers arriving during the next peak and the next 4 hours* (Gridwise Plus users can view 24-hour flight data).

*For free users Airport data is updated once every 24 hours
