Does anyone know if there is any software or websites that show flight arrivals/departure to the UK in Real Time?
I know there is a US one based on scheduled flights but just wondered if there was anything else.
Thanks.

Thomsonfly doesnt come up at any airport after the code change.

If you look at MAN, they show flights from Thomas Cook, Excel, First Choice etc.
As said above, certain airlines aren’t featured, if you do a search for EGNM, it doesn’t bring up Thomsonfly flights, but does Astraeus, under the name United Air Express.

Flytecomm does show charter flights, but the airline are not in the drop down list.
To use Flytecomm for the UK you really need to insert an airport ICAO code in the Arrival Airport box (The Departure Airport box does NOT work on its own). So for example, EGCC for Mancheser, EGLL for Heathrow.
Alternatively if you know the aircraft ICAO callsign, say MYT74, then you can enter that into the Flightnumber section.

Any some airlines such as Air Berlin are blocked from flytecomm etc

topjet330 is correct, UK flight tracking has been severely restricted recently. Flytecomm is the best you can get, and to be perfectly honest you are much better off checking airport websites for departure and arrival times as they are far more reliable.
At least its better than the rest of Europe which is blocked entirely 🙁

Try this, it doesnt give you aircraft type, but its OK.

Wasnt UK flight tracking banned post 9/11?
The US ones sometimes track UK flights over to America but generally i dont think there is.
