FlightAware “Where is my plane right now”
 
So it appears FlightAware no longer shows inbound info for a flight. Anyone have any other app or way of retrieving this info?

Still works OK for me. For example:

Do you use the FlightAware app? I just checked it on my iPhone and the "Where is my plane right now?" function is still working.

Hmmm...yeah it looks like a problem isolated to Spirit flights I guess. We have to be the least informed pilot group when it comes to operations. Why we have no internal system is beyond me.

I prefer flight radar 24. If you still want to use FlightAware. Go to Crew Trac, under schedule service you can find the tail number of any of our flight, and put that into flightaware.

We need to have remote access to mcweb like most other operators

Try the app "FlightView." It is available on iOS, but I'm not sure about other platforms.

I think NK stopped adding tailnumber, so flightaware and FCview can't look up inbound flight. Very annoying.

Spirit check in app should be giving this information on the flight status page. Unfortunately it doesn’t even give gate number so we are apparently asking a lot. United app shows type of plane, gate number, and “where is my plane coming from” in the app.
