# Travel Check

Read official travel advice and live US airport delays. It is free, with no sign-up and no key.

## What it does

Check what the UK and US governments currently advise about a country, and see live delays and weather at an airport.

Ask "what is the travel advice for Thailand?", "what are the entry requirements for Japan?", "compare Mexico, Colombia and Peru" or "is JFK delayed right now?".

Travel Check reads the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) travel advice on GOV.UK, the US State Department travel advisories, the FAA National Airspace System status and the NOAA Aviation Weather Center.

Every answer shows the advisory level or alert, the date it was last reviewed, and a link to the official page.

UK advice is written for British citizens and US advice for US citizens, and the answer says so: entry rules and risks differ by passport, so check your own government's advice. It does not include visa rules for other nationalities.

It is not medical, legal or safety advice and not for flight planning. Advisories change, so confirm on the official page before you travel. FAA delay data covers US airports only.

UK content is published under the Open Government Licence v3.0, © Crown copyright. It stores nothing about you: answers are cached for a few hours, and the only lasting record is a daily count of calls per tool.
