I have been using this great tool for about 6 months now and its called Flightstats. It allows you to see the status of any flight, or any airport. Now it does all the cool stuff like show you a nice map with red/green/yellow indicators over the airports, email you flight updates in real time and show security line wait times, but what is really nice is the historical data on flight routes you can peruse. When I need to go to DC, for example, I can look at every carrier to BWI, Dulles or Reagan and see which route, by which carrier and at which time is usually on time. Ah…being on time…the little things in life (or the consulting life ;) ) that give us joy. One other great feature is their Airport Chatter where other road warriors like yourselves can post what’s happening at your local airport so the rest of us can benefit. It may be a head’s up on only 4 security scanners running or even that parking lot A is full.
