No, Tern only keeps flight details up to date / sends flight status alerts for "Smart Flights"

A "smart flight" is any flight you enter through our default path - by putting in the airline, flight number, and clicking 'search'. This pulls in flight data from our integration partner, FlightStats.

If you click to "add flight manually", none of the functionality below will apply.

You'll need to publish your itinerary after you first add a flight

When first adding a new flight or flight let, make sure you click 'publish' on your itinerary. We'll only start sending updates on the flight after that.
