What a tracker can tell you
A live tracker shows a flight’s position, altitude, estimated arrival and any change against the schedule. That is useful before a pick-up, and essential when a delay starts to eat into a connection.
Watch arrival, not departure
For compensation, what matters is the delay on arrival at your final destination. A flight that pushes back two hours late but lands on time owes you nothing; one that pushes back on time and lands three hours late usually does.
When the delay starts
Screenshot the airline’s own status page, and keep any email or app notification. A dated record of what the airline told you is the most useful thing you can hold on to if the reason for the disruption is later disputed.
