Do Airlines Notify You When a Flight Lands?

Short answer: No, not the way you'd want.

What Airlines Actually Do

Airlines provide notifications to passengers themselves:

But these notifications go to the traveler, not to their contacts.

No automatic notifications to contacts

Airlines don't have a feature to text people when you land. That's not part of their service.

What About "Share My Flight"?

Some airline apps let you share your itinerary. But there's a catch:

If your mom doesn't have the Delta app, Delta can't text her when you land.

The Solution

Landed fills the gap

Forward your flight confirmation to Landed, add your contacts, and they get automatic SMS notifications when you land. No app required on their end.

Landed works with any airline. Your contacts just receive text messages. They don't need to download anything or check any website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't airlines offer this?

Airlines focus on the passenger experience: booking, check-in, boarding, baggage. Notifying third parties isn't their core business.

What about FlightAware alerts?

FlightAware offers flight alerts, but contacts typically need an account or the app. Landed sends plain SMS that works on any phone.

Do any airlines notify contacts automatically?

Not that we're aware of. Some have itinerary sharing, but that requires the recipient to have the airline's app.
