Hundreds of flights in Miami and Fort Lauderdale are delayed. What to know right now

Flying on Wednesday? You’ll need some patience. Many flights are delayed from an FAA systems outage.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced Wednesday morning that a key system went down, one that lets pilots know about temporary hazards and changes in conditions in their flight paths or at their destinations. All domestic flights were stopped until around 9 a.m.

▪ Broward: Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has also been dealing with similar issues. More than 50 flights have been delayed, and three have been canceled.

How can I check my flight’s status?

MIA has two online trackers you can use.

One of the flight trackers shows a list of all expected arrivals and departures with options to use a drop-down menu to narrow results. It displays the carrier, flight number and where the plane is going to or coming from. It also gives real-time updates on the flight’s arrival or departure status, which concourse the terminal is in and the location of baggage claim.

The other online tool lets you track by flight or route. If you know the carrier, the date and the flight number, this tool might be easier to use because it will only show information for your flight.

FLL’s flight tracker works by flight or route. You’ll need to know the date, along with the airline carrier and flight number or the departure and arrival airport. The tool also gives people the option to see a list of all expected arrivals and departures and details on the flight’s terminal and baggage claim, too.

You can also check your flight status with the airline directly, which might be easier to do through the airline’s app. But you can also check via the airline’s website.
