How it works
01
Paste a flight number
Or a route like FRA-BKK. Or type two cities and pick them from the list.
02
Share the link
Send it to whoever is driving. It opens on any phone — nothing to install.
03
Leave right on time
A live countdown and the landing time in local time. No refreshing, no guessing.
One link replaces the whole group chat.
No more "any updates?" messages. The link unfurls with the flight and the live countdown — and keeps itself current, so everyone plans off the same minute.
- Opens instantly in any browser, on any phone
- Refreshes itself every minute while it's open
- Nothing for the recipient to install or sign up for
Everything a pickup needs. Nothing else.
Touchdown tracks one flight at a time and does it well — built to send to family, not to sell you upgrades.
Live countdown
One glance says how long until wheels touch down — updated every minute.
Flight path on a map
See the plane move along its actual track, from takeoff to the gate.
Made to be shared
Every flight is a simple link. Family taps it and sees the same countdown you do.
Zero friction
No account, no install, no cookie walls. The link is the whole product.
Real airline data
Powered by the official Flightradar24 API — delays and gate changes included.
iOS app with alerts
The companion iPhone app adds pickup planning and departed / landed notifications.
The same data the airport watches.
Positions, delays and gate changes come from the official Flightradar24 API and refresh every minute — the countdown you share is the countdown that's true.
Whoever's doing the driving, it just works.
The family pickup
Drop the link in the family chat. Everyone sees the same countdown — no app to install, nothing to explain.
The business run
Meeting a client or a colleague off a flight? Time the arrival hall to the minute and never pace the terminal again.
The holiday return
Delays happen. See the new landing time the moment it changes, and leave the house when it actually makes sense.
It even tells you when to leave.
The Touchdown iPhone app takes the same live flight and plans the whole pickup around it — from your driveway to the arrivals hall.
Pickup planner
Computes when to leave from your door, with live traffic — not just when the plane lands.
Alerts that matter
A notification at departure, one at landing soon, one at touchdown. Nothing else.
Same links, everywhere
Flights open in the app or the browser — whoever you share with is covered either way.
Questions, answered
What can I search?
A flight number like LH1832, a route like FRA-BKK, an aircraft registration, or just two cities — pick the origin, then the destination.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. Open the link and it works. The page refreshes itself every minute while it's open.
Where does the data come from?
The official Flightradar24 API — the same live data airlines and airports watch, including position and flight path.
Does it cost anything?
No. Touchdown is free, with no ads and no tracking beyond what's needed to serve the page.
Is there an iPhone app?
Yes. The companion iOS app adds a pickup planner — it computes when to leave from your location — plus departed, landing-soon and landed notifications.
The next pickup can be a calm one.
Type a flight number, send the link, and everyone knows when to leave.
