Flightradar24 Flight History API Documentation List the legs of a flight number (LH400) or of an aircraft registration (D-AIXO), newest first. Each leg has the status, aircraft, airline, origin, destination and the scheduled, real and estimated times. The flight_id is null when the leg is not live. Use page to go back further. has_more tells you if another page exists. A query with no legs answers 200 and costs no credit. Cost: 1 credit per successful request.
