The first thing you always go to see as soon as you arrive at the airport is the board with arrivals and departures, where you can check the exact time of check in, boarding and take off, to immediately know if there are delays or cancellations or if it is everything is OK.
The same screen of arrivals and departures of air flights to any airport in the world can be seen, in real time, on the internet and on the app, from any computer or smartphone. You can then check the scoreboard before arriving at the airport, you can quickly know the status of the flight and it also becomes useful when you have to pick up a person at the airport so at least you adjust to the time from which to leave the house, without waiting unnecessarily in case of delays.

First of all, as normal, all the websites of the airports of the world have their online screen with arrivals and departures (see, for example, the ADR website of Fiumicino or the airports of Milan) and the same goes for airlines (such as Ryanair or Alitalia).
While in some cases this type of service is very punctual, it becomes much more convenient to use an app or online service that can aggregate all the data of air flights to any airport in the world and all airlines .
The best site / app to get a general overview of all flights departing and arriving is definitely Flightstats.com, which allows you to search, even from home, all information relating to an air flight by its number, by the airline, from the airport or route. By entering the flight number, you have the detailed form with departure and arrival times. By entering today's date and the airport (with the name or with the three-letter FCO type code), you get the total table of arrivals or departures in the current time, in real time .
For each flight, the airline, the airport terminal, the actual and scheduled time and the status (if it is boarding, if it is flying, if it has reached its destination) is indicated. Then there is the map of the airports with an updated opinion on the punctuality of flights, with a graphical overview of the situation of the airports in real time, based on the number of delays and cancellations . By registering on the website, you can also leave a rating on a specific airport and you can receive a free text message (I don't know if it works from Italy) notifying the arrival of a plane at its destination.
FlightStats is also available on smartphones as an app for Android and for iPhone.
This service also allows you to follow the flight in real time, and is among the sites to check the routes of the planes in real time, so as to have a global overview of the situation in the skies, in Italy, in Europe and all over the world.
Another site that you can look at to find out delays, arrivals and departures of flights is FlightAware, in Italian, which allows you to find the departure and arrival times of each plane with real-time tracking. Tracking only requires you to enter your flight number and airline or search for today's flights that go from one city to another. In the tracking menu at the top left you can find the list of cancellations and delays, with the percentages of the day for all airports.
FlightAware also has an application for Android and iPhone, free and very popular, to find out the status of each scheduled or ongoing flight.
A third site that provides all the indications and times of arrivals and departures of air flights is Flightview, which also allows you to download the app for Android and iPhone .
The FlightsFrom.com website also shows timetables and flights from all over the world, particularly useful when booking local airlines. If you want to leave at a specific time of day and without a destination in mind, FlightsFrom.com is also a useful tool for organizing an improvised trip based on departure times.
As a simple application, which allows you to see the flight display of every airport in the world, we can also mention FlightBoard, free for iPhone and Android.
Finally, it is worth using Google's flight search to be able to know when all the planes from a specific airport are leaving and when they arrive . For example, to try, just write the word Flight or flights on Google followed by the two cities of departure and destination. For example, when searching for " Milan-Rome flight ", the first available result lists the available air flights in a table. By clicking on Search flights you can read all the planes departing from Milan sorted by time. The table indicates, in addition to the departure and arrival times, the airports, the days of the week, the airline and the flight number.
This makes it much easier to quickly view flight scheduling and analyze the route offered by the airlines.
Google's timetable search works for every city and airport in the world, including international routes and smaller airports.
