If I have limited information can I still find a flight number?

Question

Is there a way to find out which flight a person is on if the only information that I have is the place of departure the place and date of arrival?I lost the travel information of a friend who I am suppose to pick up at the airport and I don't have a way of contacting them.

Answer 1

Is that really ALL you have? Depending on the origin and destinatination, there could be dozens of possibilities. Do you remember about what time of day it was? What airline? Anything?

Answer 2

If the airport is small enough, everybody probably comes through the same place to get to baggage claim.  Just wait there.  Or cruise around baggage claim, looking for the airline possibilities.  

Answer 3

If it's between big airports with a ton of flights it will be tough.

If you know a certain time frame it would be easier to figure out.

Without any time frame it's kind of impossible, but if it's between two random airports with one flight a day then.. yeah.

If you post the info I'll try to help out.

Answer 4

Yes, I do this all the time. Go to the airlines website and make the same reservation. You might have to make the reservation for tomorrow if the flight has already left.

Answer 5

the easiest way is to do this, I do this when I need to find out information about a flight and I know limited detials. Go to wikipedia, and type in the arrival airport. When you go down to the terminals of the airport, it will have the airlines listed with the destinations they fly to. Find all the flights that leave out of the departure airport and then go to the airline's websites to find out the arrival times of that flight on the date you have. If that is too complicated, I could do it for you.  

Answer 6

only if that's the only flight between those two cities on that day!  If you know the times, you can figure it out
