You *think* your flight is on time. But sure enough, by the time you get to the airport, you find that it's been delayed for hours.\n\n![Giphy](https://media2.giphy.com/media/Ho1mzZUO2tA40/200.gif#11)\n\nWhat if you could ask Alexa about your flight status before heading out the door? We built a skill that connects Alexa to the [Laminar Flight API](https://rapidapi.com/package/LaminarFlightData/functions?utm_source=GitHub\u0026utm_medium=AlexaLaminarTutorial_LaminarFunctionsAPI) so that you can ask Alexa the status of your flight. Even better? We created a video tutorial that walks you through every step of the process. Check out the video tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_H6m2dJ6fo) or jump straight the code.\n\n##This video tutorial will go through…\n\n* Adding the departure time skill to Amazon Alexa\n* Creating the skill’s backend in AWS Lambda\n* Connecting Alexa to the [Laminar Flight API](https://rapidapi.com/package/LaminarFlightData/functions?utm_source=GitHub\u0026utm_medium=AlexaLaminarTutorial_LaminarFunctionsAPI) using RapidAPI\n\n##The result\n\nThe end result will look something like this…\n\n![alexaLaminarGIF](http://blog.rapidapi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/AlexaLaminar-GIF.gif)\n \n##What you’ll need:\n\n* Amazon Echo device\n* Amazon account\n\nLet the hacking begin! Watch the tutorial below, follow along on GitHub and feel free to leave any questions in the comments.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_H6m2dJ6fo\n\n##Feeling inspired? \n\nOne Alexa skill is never enough. Here are other project ideas that you could build by connecting to [RapidAPI](https://rapidapi.com/?utm_source=GitHub\u0026utm_medium=AlexaLaminarTutorial_Home):\n\n* Use the [Twilio API](https://rapidapi.com/package/Twilio/functions?utm_source=GitHub\u0026utm_medium=AlexaLaminarTutorial_TwilioFunctions) or the [Plivo API](https://rapidapi.com/package/Plivo/functions?utm_source=GitHub\u0026utm_medium=AlexaLaminarTutorial_PlivoFunctions) to have Alexa send a text message\n* Build a Google Translate Skill with [this written tutorial](http://blog.rapidapi.com/2016/10/07/alexa-api-project/?utm_source=GitHub\u0026utm_medium=AlexaLaminarTutorial_AlexaGoogleTranslatePost)\n* Recommend local events with the [Eventbrite API](https://rapidapi.com/package/EventbriteAPI/functions?utm_source=GitHub\u0026utm_medium=AlexaLaminarTutorial_EventbriteFunctions) or the [Meetup API](https://rapidapi.com/package/Meetup/functions?utm_source=GitHub\u0026utm_medium=AlexaLaminarTutorial_MeetupFunctions)\n\nLet us know what you come up with and happy hacking.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frapidapi%2Flaminarapi-alexaskill","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frapidapi%2Flaminarapi-alexaskill","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frapidapi%2Flaminarapi-alexaskill/lists"}
