Short answer
Put every traveler's flights into one list with the flight number and date for each leg, then load that list into a group flight tracker that follows all the flights at once and shows them on one board. You get alerts when any flight in the group changes, instead of checking each one.
Why one-flight trackers stop working
Consumer trackers follow flights you add one by one, and they alert the person who added them. For a group, that means many tabs or many phones, and nobody sees the whole picture. A change at lunchtime is easy to miss.
Build one list
One row per traveler and leg: name, flight number, date, from and to airports, and whether it is an arrival or a departure. CSV or Excel is fine. Keep the airline code and the number together, for example AA 1234.
Track connecting flights leg by leg
A traveler from Madrid to Cancun through Mexico City has two legs. If the first is late, the second may be missed. Track both, so you know early who will need a later pickup.
Let alerts do the watching
Set a delay limit and send alerts to the team, not to one person. Combine bursts of changes into one message, and send a morning summary on travel days.
Share the status without sharing the spreadsheet
Clients and group leaders want totals: how many have landed, how many are checked in, which flights are late. A live board link answers that without exposing everyone's details.
