FlightStats.com a central source for flight statistics
When United, US Airways and Northwest flight schedules melted down last month, Joe Brancatelli of JoeSentMe.com (a subscription-only site for business fliers) pointed customers to FlightStats.com, which helps track flights.
What’s hot: FlightStats aggregates information about flight status and airport delays from hundreds of sources. Historical data can help you avoid peak delay times when planning a flight. It has a lot of ancillary information too — links to consular offices, travel warnings and advisories, deals and airport parking.
What’s not: The pages seem cluttered with ads, links and info. But that’s really just a quibble; it has much valuable news you can use.
