Hi to anybody who can help me.
My son departed from Cardiff to Rhodes (Greece) at 5.10 pm (on time) this evening. They're supposed to arrive at 23.20 local time. I've googled Rhodes airport flight arrivals and found a site with live flight info. I'm concerned because there is no mention of their TCX flight - although it shows arrivals up until midnight. Can anybody find out what time the flight is expected to land there please. Thank you! I'm one worried parent!
shirley h,
Live flight tracking can be hit and miss as it's reliant upon local radio recievers picking up ACARS and other signals from aircraft. Many of the flight tracking websites are based on amateur reciever stations and aren't always available in areas where the flight you are looking for is travelling. For example the SBS-1 system I use covers about 50 miles radius from where I live. If an aircraft passes outside of that area, I won't get a transmission from it or the signal is too weak to decipher. The flight will be fine, don't panic!
Is he on the TCX256K? He's flying on G-DHJH, I have the flights on ACARS at 1724 GMT leaving UK airspace over Brighton (I can't get anything beyond UK airspace!). I don't think Rhodes Airport have a website with flight information, many of the Greek Islands don't. It's due back on-time so I would assume it's arrival in RHO is on-time. I'm sure he'll send you a text once disembarked!

Dazbo, I knew you'd put my mind at rest. What would we do without you. I know I'm paranoid but I like to find out as much info as I can. It was just that flightstats (a website I found) was showing loads of flights scheduled to arrive up until tomorrow but no sign of a TCX from CWL. If he doesn't text me, I'll certainly be texting him.
Thanks very much again for your speedy reply.

All's well. Just had a text to say they'd arrived and they're now waiting for their luggage 
made good time then 
Yes Wizard. They arrived earlier than expected. I've got to say for the umpteenth time that HT is a Godsend

Hi Johndoe, glad to see I'm in good company - my 'kids' are 23 and 26
I'm not so worried about the eldest as he's in the South of France with his girlfriend but the youngest is in Faliraki with about 20 mates - say no more 
Oops, sorry I just realised I've gone
