Flights get delayed. And less often, they’re early. Either way, your ride will always be on time with Bolt’s new Flight Tracking feature.

When scheduling your ride from the airport, simply link your flight, and we’ll automatically adjust your pickup time, so your Bolt is ready to go when you land — at no additional cost. And if your flight is cancelled, we’ll cancel your ride for free.

How Flight Tracking works

Our latest feature is designed to give you a reliable, stress-free airport pickup experience, even in the face of airline disruptions — because the last thing anyone wants after a long trip is to spend more waiting time at the airport.

Enter your flight number while scheduling an airport ride, and the app will automatically set your pickup time based on your flight’s real-time status. This means no last-minute rescheduling, unexpected wait times, or extra costs.

Anytime you schedule a ride and select an airport as your pickup point, you’ll be given the option to sync your Bolt ride with your flight’s arrival time. Here’s how it looks in the app:

Open the Bolt app and tap ‘Schedule’
Set an airport as your pickup location
Tap ‘Add flight details’
Enter your flight number, or search by airline or city
Set the pickup time and confirm your ride

You can also specify how soon you’d like to be picked up after landing, factoring in extra time to collect your luggage or go through customs. By default, the delay is set to 20 minutes.

Schedule a ride to, and not just from, the airport

While Flight Tracking is enabled for airport pickups, you can also schedule rides to the airport anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 days in advance.

Get a ride exactly when you need one, even in areas with fewer drivers or during off-peak hours. Here’s what you get when using Scheduled Rides:

A guaranteed ride 24/7
The ability to book up to 90 days in advance
An upfront, locked-in price
Trip reminders to keep you on track
Extra waiting time with no charge
Free cancellation up to 1 hour in advance

You can’t plan for everything, but you can plan your next airport transfer

With Bolt, you can order safe, affordable, and comfortable rides to and from 100+ airports worldwide. Flight Tracking will initially be available for 30 airports, with more following soon.
