The passenger count is a shortcut

On a passenger flight tracker, click the Passengers count or passenger icon to open the manifest in a popup. You can inspect it without leaving the tracker.

1. Find the passenger tile

Open your passenger flight from FLY NOW and locate its payload summary. When it represents passengers, the tile has the tooltip Open passenger manifest. Click it, then use Close to return to the tracker.

A cargo payload tile does not open a passenger manifest. The tile may be hidden when no payload summary is available. The manifest is tied to the flight and is restricted to its pilot or authorised administrative access; copying its address is not a public sharing method.

2. Read the totals and individual rows

Check the flight number, departure, destination and issue time first. The totals distinguish Reserved, Onboard and Travelled. These represent different booking stages, not three separate groups to add together as total carried passengers.

Each available row lists the passenger name and ID, nationality, cabin, final destination and status. Use the status to understand whether someone is reserved, boarded or recorded as having travelled. All displayed connection times are UTC.

3. See passengers connecting beyond your arrival airport

The Final destination column can describe a journey beyond your flight's arrival airport. Where an onward connection is recorded, the row shows the airport travelled via, onward airline and flight number, and scheduled departure in UTC.

For example, your flight may end at a hub while a passenger continues elsewhere. Read that passenger's connection details rather than assuming everyone finishes at the arrival airport. Passengers without an onward journey finish at your arrival airport. A listed connection is an itinerary detail, not proof that the next flight has already operated.

4. Recognise saved and updated data

The popup initially shows the saved manifest and checks for updates. Read the refresh message: if the latest list cannot be loaded, the saved version may remain visible. An empty manifest says no named passengers are listed; it is not a reason to create another flight or invent passenger records.

If numbers appear inconsistent, note the issue time, flight ID, totals and refresh status before reporting it. A summary count and an incomplete named list should be investigated rather than treated as interchangeable records.

5. Interpret cancelled flights correctly

A cancelled flight can retain a passenger list for reference while showing that no passengers were carried on that flight. Reserved and onboard totals are shown as zero, and unflown reservations may temporarily show Release pending while the economy worker handles them.

Retained names are not evidence of a successful flight or earned passenger income. Check the cancellation notice and recorded status. For a public view without manifest access, use Share your live flight.
