LateGate monitors your flight in real time, tells you whether the delay is the airline's fault, surfaces every alternative — and hands you the exact words to say at the gate.
When a flight goes wrong, most passengers face the same four problems — usually all at once.
Search any flight free, no account required. Add Watch when you want it monitored, Unlimited when you want an advocate.
Add Watch to a flight and LateGate monitors it for you continuously — leg one and leg two, if you've got a connection. The moment a status change is detected, a push notification hits your lock screen, so you can act while others are still staring at the board.
Look up any flight — no account, no purchase — and get a plain-English breakdown of that airline's delay policy and your US DOT rights. DOT refund rules, denied boarding cash, tarmac protections, airline Customer Service Plans: LateGate cuts through the fine print and tells you what applies right now.
When your flight is cancelled, every second counts. Enhanced Search — included with Watch and Unlimited — surfaces alternative departures on other carriers so you can rebook before the queue even forms.
The US hub system works in your favor when things go wrong. Enhanced Search finds airports within driving range — Midway instead of O'Hare, Burbank instead of LAX — with real drive times and car rental links, so a cancelled flight isn't the end of the road.
A 20-minute delay can turn a "comfortable" layover into a missed flight. Connection Assist monitors your first flight and continuously calculates your real probability of making the second, using actual minimum connection times for your specific layover airport.
The Delay Concierge analyzes your specific disruption — cross-referencing live FAA data with airline policy — and gives you a verdict, a list of what you're likely owed, and a word-for-word script to use right now.
Most passengers stand in line, accept whatever they're offered, and move on. But airlines have specific obligations depending on whether a delay is their fault — and they're not going to volunteer that information.
The Delay Concierge looks at your flight, cross-references real-time FAA data against what the airline is telling you, and delivers a clear verdict: controllable, uncontrollable, or unclear. Then it tells you what you're owed — and hands you the exact words to say.
Based on ORD minimum connection time of 45 min. Your current buffer: 29 min after revised arrival.
A 20-minute delay on leg one can turn a "comfortable" connection into a missed flight — and airlines won't tell you until it's too late to do anything about it.
Connection Assist monitors your first flight and continuously calculates your real odds of making the second, using the actual minimum connection time for your specific layover airport. You get a clear percentage — and an alert the moment things start to slip.
Enter a flight number and get real-time status, gate info, and a plain-English breakdown of your DOT rights — no account, no login, ever.
Sign in with Face ID in one tap, add Watch for $0.99, and LateGate starts tracking your flight — plus a connection, if you have one — until you land, with instant alerts the moment anything changes.
Enhanced Search surfaces other carriers on your route and airports within driving distance, with drive times and car rental links. Connection Assist shows your real odds of making leg two.
Add Unlimited and activate the Delay Concierge for a verdict, an entitlement list, and the exact words to use at the gate — before the line gets any longer.
Airlines know your rights.
They're counting on you not knowing them too.
Federal rules give US travelers stronger protections than most realize. A 2024 DOT rule now requires airlines to issue automatic cash refunds — not just vouchers — for canceled and significantly delayed flights. LateGate tells you what you're owed the moment your flight goes sideways.

"LateGate alerted me to a delay before the gate agent even made an announcement. Grabbed the last seat on an earlier flight out of Midway and made my meeting in New York."
"Connection Assist showed my odds dropping to 31%. I went to the gate and asked to be moved to the later flight before we even landed. Saved myself a two-hour panic."
"The Concierge told me my 'weather' delay had no matching FAA program and was almost certainly controllable. I used the script, pushed back, and got a meal voucher plus rebooked on United. Would never have known."
