Picking someone up, or about to fly? Type the flight number on the ticket (BA117, LH400) and see where the plane is right now and when it should land, worked out from its live position, not the timetable. It says in plain words whether the flight is early or late, warns about fog, storms and wind at both airports, and lets you send the live page to whoever is picking you up. Works worldwide. Free, no sign-up, no app.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and status logic are vibe-codeable, but live aircraft positions and reliable ETAs depend on ADS-B or flight-data feeds that are costly or licensed, and weather warnings need a separate data source.
What it would actually take: The stack is a web or mobile front end over a flight-data API (for example FlightAware, OpenSky or a commercial ADS-B feed) plus a weather API. The hard parts are securing reliable, licensed live position and schedule data and building ETA prediction that beats the timetable, which may need historical modeling.
