Is the airline website down, or is it the flight?
Monitor airlines, booking sites, and hotel platforms for outages. When you can't check in, a booking won't complete, or an app fails at the worst moment, check here to see if the service is down for everyone. Timing is critical when you're at the airport or holding a fare.
- Separate the website from operations. Booking sites can fail while flights run normally. Check the departure board on the airport's site for real flight status.
- Try the app and the website. Airlines often keep check-in working in one when the other fails. Keep your booking reference ready for the airport desk.
- Watch for several airlines at once. When many airlines show problems together, the cause is often air traffic control, weather or a shared IT vendor.
Frequently asked questions
Why is an airline or booking app not working?
Travel platform outages are caused by reservation system failures, payment issues, or overload during major sales and disruptions like weather events. Check-in, booking, and loyalty systems can fail independently. Reports here show whether other travelers are affected too.
Which travel services does DownStatus monitor?
DownStatus tracks major airlines, booking platforms, and hotel chains including Airbnb, Booking.com, Delta, American Airlines, Expedia, and others. The full list with live status is shown above.
What if I can't check in online because the airline app is down?
Airport kiosks and check-in counters work independently of the app and remain available during most app outages. Arrive a bit earlier to use them. Keep any existing booking confirmation handy, since it doesn't depend on the app being online.
Is it safe to rebook if a travel site fails mid-booking?
Check your email and account for a confirmation before rebooking: a reservation can be created even if the final page errored. Rebooking immediately risks a duplicate charge. During a confirmed outage, wait for the service to recover.
