which plane is above me
You can’t directly know which exact plane is above you just from me, but you can see it yourself in a few seconds using flight‑tracker tools that work from your location.
Fastest way right now
Use any of these options on your phone or laptop (with location or map zoomed to where you are):
- Flightradar24 (website or app): shows live planes on a map; tap the plane over your house to see airline, flight number, origin/destination, altitude, speed, and aircraft type.
- FlightAware Flight Tracker (app/website): has a nearby/overhead view listing flights currently above you within a chosen radius.
- On iPhone, you can ask Siri: “What planes are above me right now?” – it opens a web view powered by the same kind of tracking data.
“Point at the sky” style
Some apps let you literally point your phone at the plane:
- Flightradar24 includes an AR mode where you point your camera at a plane and it labels it with flight info.
- Community posts consistently recommend this AR mode specifically for “what plane is above me” questions.
Simple step‑by‑step
- Open flightradar24.com or the Flightradar24 app.
- Allow location access or manually move/zoom the map to your town.
- Look for the aircraft symbol over your position and tap it.
- Read the popup: it will show route (from–to), airline, aircraft model (e.g., Airbus A320), altitude, and more.
If you tell me your city/area and roughly when you saw the plane, I can walk you through how to line up what you saw with what appears on one of these trackers.
