Delay predictions

TripsHub now tracks the inbound aircraft for every flight in your itinerary. If your plane is running late on its previous leg, you'll be warned of a likely delay — often before the airline tells you. Powered by AeroDataBox.

Proactive flight status notifications

TripsHub now monitors every flight in your itinerary and sends push notifications the moment something changes. Get alerted for delays (15+ min threshold), gate changes, gate assignments, terminal changes, cancellations, and diversions — on iOS, Android, and web. The system polls live data every 20 minutes starting 6 hours before departure, with smart deduplication and idempotent delivery so you never get duplicate alerts.

Multi-provider flight data with auto-failover

Flight status data is now sourced from multiple aviation APIs (AirLabs + AeroDataBox) with automatic failover. When one provider's monthly quota runs out, the system seamlessly switches to the next — giving you ~1,400 combined calls per month and zero downtime. Each provider has independent budget tracking, and admin email alerts fire at 80% and 100% capacity thresholds.

New feature

Provider failure email alerts

When a flight data provider fails — HTTP errors, network timeouts, unexpected responses — an admin email is sent with the provider name, error category, HTTP status code, and the flight that triggered it. Throttled to one email per provider per error type per hour to keep your inbox clean.
