Flight arrival times -4 hours ago

I'm trying to check the Flight Arrival times at BAA website, but they only show the arrival times from 9am.

Surely you can check arrival times earlier than this, as flights I am checking should have arrived around 6am ??

I'd have said if they are not shown (with a late arrival time) then they have already landed.

I agree, but still why don't they show earlier arrival times.

If you're waiting for someone at home, you may want to check hours later if & when their flight arrived, as they may be travelling by land transport a while.

Only showing flight arrivals starting in last hour is a bit restrictive.

If you put in their flight number or departure airport, the system should show you the right information irrespective of what time it is?

My guess as to the reason is that they are fed from the same system as feeds the information boards at the airport - where they disappear pretty soon after arrival.
Agree it's restrictive

That's useful, didn't see your link before.

Can also see who primary flight operator is when flight is shared by number of airlines (Codeshare). Didn't know anything about that before.
