Web Site of the Week: Flightarrivals
Posted by: Christine Bulson
With some of the busiest travel days coming in less than two weeks, flightarrivals.com is another way to find out if a flight is on time. (See also HelloFlight.com.) Flightarrivals does not track flights on a map but does supply other useful information. The main page gives a number of options - search for arrivals, departures, delays, airport status and schedule changes. For arrivals and departures you may find a flight by airline and flight number but if you don’t know this you can search by city/airport, airline and airport or airline and airport pair. Once you find a flight you will see when and if it left, how long it has been in the air, its speed, altitude and when it is expected to arrive. The weather for the departure and arrival city is also listed. The airport status is a new feature which lists the average number of minutes flights may be delayed. On Friday afternoon, Nov. 13th, with wind and rain in NYC, arriving flights at LaGuardia may be delayed by 2 hours and 26 minutes. Best of luck for air travel at Thanksgiving!
