LAX is one of the busiest airports in the world — and delays, diversions, and schedule changes are extremely common. When you book a private chauffeur, one of the biggest advantages is knowing that your driver is actively tracking your flight in real time, so you never have to worry about updating them or stressing about late arrivals.
This guide explains how chauffeurs track flight delays, what happens if your flight arrives early or late, and what you can expect when traveling through LAX.

How Professional Chauffeurs Track Your Flight
Chauffeurs don’t just “check your flight.” They use professional-grade aviation tools to monitor your aircraft from departure to landing.
Here’s how:
✔ 1. Live Airline Dashboards
Chauffeurs monitor the official airline systems, which show:
Real departure time
Taxiing delays
Gate changes
Updated landing time
Terminal adjustments
This information updates every few minutes.
✔ 2. Flight Tracking Apps & Software
Professional transportation companies use advanced tools like:
FlightAware
FlightStats
AirlineOps
Real-time aviation feeds
These platforms monitor:
✔ Early arrivals
✔ Delays
✔ Airborne status
✔ Diverted or rerouted flights
This ensures your chauffeur always arrives on time — even if your plane doesn’t.
✔ 3. Airport Communication Systems
Chauffeur services rely on airport alerts that notify them of:
Weather delays
Terminal closures
Traffic congestion
LAX internal updates
This helps drivers reposition more efficiently around the airport.

What Happens If My Flight Is Late?
This is one of the most common concerns passengers have.
Private chauffeurs expect delays, and your ride adjusts automatically. Here’s what you can expect:
✔ Driver arrival time is adjusted
✔ You never need to call or update them
✔ No cancellation like rideshare apps
✔ Wait-time grace period included (varies by service)
L.A Cali Luxury offers generous grace periods, so passengers have time to deplane, clear customs, and collect luggage.
“Do I Still Get Charged If the Plane Is Late?”
This depends on the company, but here’s how it generally works:
✔ If the airline is delayed, you are not charged extra.
Your pickup time automatically shifts.
✔ If you take longer after landing —
You may receive a small wait-time charge after the included grace period.
This is still much more generous than rideshare apps, which cancel when you’re late or stuck in baggage claim.

What If My Flight Arrives Early?
Many travelers don’t realize flights often land 10–45 minutes early.
Chauffeurs track this as well.
If your flight arrives sooner than expected:
✔ Your chauffeur will already be there
✔ You’ll receive updated pickup instructions
✔ You avoid those stressful curbside waits
This is one of the biggest advantages over rideshares.

What If My Flight Gets Rerouted or Diverted?
It happens more often than passengers realize — for weather, traffic, or runway issues.
If your flight is diverted to:
Ontario (ONT)
Burbank (BUR)
Long Beach (LGB)
Your chauffeur will:
✔ Monitor the diversion
✔ Wait for airline instructions
✔ Adjust pickup location
✔ Coordinate with you before driving
Passengers never feel lost, stranded, or unsure what to do next.

How Chauffeurs Communicate at LAX
Once your chauffeur receives the real-time flight update, they will:
✔ Text when your plane lands
✔ Provide vehicle details (make, model, plate)
✔ Share the exact column number at curbside pickup
✔ Stay in constant communication
No confusion. No chaos. No running through LAX-it crowds.
Why Chauffeurs Are Better Than Rideshares During Delays
Rideshare apps struggle with airport delays because:
❌ Drivers cancel if the wait is too long
❌ LAX-it shuttle delays slow pickups
❌ Drivers often refuse luggage-heavy travelers
❌ They don’t track flights in real time
Private chauffeurs are trained for:
✔ Delays
✔ Early arrivals
✔ Baggage claim timing
✔ Customs delays
✔ International arrivals
