What Flight Alerts does
Flight Alerts does one narrow job: it follows a single flight and tells you when its status changes. You give it a flight number — IATA, ICAO or a codeshare number all work — and a date, and the bot sends notifications about departure, arrival, delays and other changes.
That makes it a tool for the day of travel rather than for planning. It does not search fares or book anything. It is useful when you are picking someone up at the airport, waiting on a tight connection, or simply want updates in Telegram instead of in an airline app you rarely open.
The bot is made by an independent developer (the profile credits @v11cb) rather than an airline or a flight-data company. There is no website or support channel beyond Telegram itself, so if it stops working you have no one else to ask. On the other hand, no fee or subscription is mentioned anywhere, and the setup takes a flight number and a date.
The interface is in English by default, and a /language command switches it; which languages are available was not confirmed.
