# Flightradar24 Flight Detail API Documentation

<p><strong>Flightradar24 Flight Detail API Documentation</strong> Open one flight by its id. Get the id from the live flights or the search endpoint. The answer has the status, aircraft (model, registration, age, serial number, photos), airline, owner, origin and destination with city, country, timezone, terminal and gate, scheduled, real and estimated times, the previous legs of the aircraft and the track. The track is oldest point first. trail=trimmed (default) keeps about 150 points, trail=full keeps all, trail=none leaves it out. An id of a flight that is no longer known answers 404 and costs no credit. Cost: 1 credit per successful request.</p>
