How do I check the live status of a specific flight?

You can use the `get_flight_status` tool by providing the carrier code, flight number, and departure date. The agent will return real-time gate, delay, and timing information.

Can I see which flights are currently departing from a specific airport?

Yes, use the `get_airport_status` tool. Specify the airport code (e.g., 'LAX'), set the direction to 'dep' (departures), and provide the date and hour to get a complete list of scheduled and active departures.

Is it possible to track flights flying over my current location?

Absolutely. By using the `get_flights_near` tool with your latitude, longitude, and a search radius in miles, your agent will list all active flights currently in that airspace.
