Cool and Useful Flight Tracking Website

Posted by Mike Volpe on 1/6/08 10:53 PM

My wife is currently flying back into Boston from Pittsburgh.  I am currently working.  How can I leave at exactly the right time so I can maximize my work time, but still not be late so I don;t get in trouble with my wife?

Sure, I could call the airline and check their website, but from my experience those tools are usually a good 30 minutes behind, making them useless, especially for shorter flights.

But with www.FlightAware.com I can see the exact location and estimated arrival of my wife's flight in real time.  So I know exactly when it should land, then allow a bit of time for her to grab her baggage and get off the plane and I end up with perfect timing.
