Flight Arrival/Departure Information


If rampant airline flight delays are a disease, timely flight arrival/departure information -- especially any changes to flight departure times and flight schedules -- is at least a partial cure. Knowing in advance that a flight is delayed can save you a lot of time and aggravation, whether you are the passenger yourself, or you are picking up someone else.  All you have to do is check flight departure times and flight arrival info for any changes.

Weather is a constant factor. But financial troubles and airline mergers are also causing carriers to change flight departures often, so the information you got at one point may no longer be valid. Accurate flight arrival/departure information can be hard to come by. Airlines aren't always upfront with travelers, changing flight times again and again based on policies that sometimes mask what's really happening.

Technology is coming to the rescue. The Internet along with smartphones, email, wireless laptop connections and other devices can arm you with the best flight schedule information available, on a moment's notice.

  • Independent websites, rather than those run by the airlines, tend to have better information on flight delays because that's their main job. Airlines devote few resources to telling travelers their flights are late.
