How to Check Flight Delays & Cancellations at Incheon
Three ways to check your flight status in real time during monsoon rain or winter snow, plus the steps to take if your flight is delayed or cancelled.
Check This Before Heading to the Airport in Bad Weather
During the summer monsoon and winter snow/wind season, flight delays and cancellations become more common. Finding out about a cancellation only after arriving at the airport wastes valuable time, so it's worth getting into the habit of checking your flight status in real time before you leave home.
Below are three ways to check, plus the steps to take if your flight is delayed or cancelled.
3 Ways to Check Delays & Cancellations
Check your flight number, time, and status (delayed / cancelled / boarding) at a glance on NaruGate's live flight board.
Airlines notify the contact info on your booking about schedule changes or cancellations. Turning on push notifications in the airline's app gets you the fastest alert.
Heavy rain, heavy snow, or high-wind advisories mean a higher chance of delay. Build in extra time before you need to depart.
What to Do If Your Flight Is Delayed or Cancelled
-
1
Re-check your flight status
Confirm the exact delay/cancellation and any new time via the live flight board and the airline's own notice.
-
2
Ask the airline about rebooking or a refund
For a cancellation or a long delay, you may be rebooked on an alternative flight or refunded. Conditions vary by cause (e.g. weather) and fare rules -- check with the airline directly.
-
3
Adjust connections, lodging, and your itinerary
If you have a connecting flight, check its timing; if departure is pushed back, plan your time at the airport or a hotel stay. Also check your travel insurance's delay-compensation terms.
* Compensation and refund rules vary by airline, fare class, and cause of delay. Check the airline's official policy for specifics.
💡 Flying Out in Bad Weather? Remember This
- ✔Check the live flight board twice -- once before leaving home, once again after you arrive at the airport.
- ✔Turn on push notifications in your airline's app and make sure your contact details on the booking are current.
- ✔On days with heavy weather impact, use the Departure Planner to build in an earlier departure.
