Web Site of the Week: HelloFlight.com
Posted by: Christine Bulson
There are now a number of web sites that give information on flights so you (or your friends and relatives) can see where you or they have been. These sites also provide departure and arrival times, weather conditions, and of course, delays. Tracking flights has become an avocation for me and I have found that each site has its unique features. In future blogs I will be introducing other sites. HelloFlight.com is great for seeing the route of a flight as it progresses usually with a fifteen minute lag for security purposes. After the flight is completed you can “view flight animation” with a little plane flying across a simple topographic map. You even have a choice of speed – slow, medium or fast. HelloFlight.com also offers a map of the US indicating on time or delays at specific airports plus a listing of arrival and departures by airport. Other features which may or may not be useful are lists of planes in the air by airline, airport and even type of plane.
