Since my brother was coming in from Florida for a visit, I got to be impressed again with a little web application that the little Madison airport has running on their web site. Any time you want, you can call up the same arrival and departure information display that they have on the monitors at the airport. This is incredibly useful, and saves a lot of calling and running around.
Do major airports have this sort of thing? I looked around O’Hare’s site and couldn’t find it. I know big airports have a lot more arrivals and departures than what used to be known as Madison International Airport (!), but it’s still a great idea, and more airports should be copying it.
I too have found this very useful. Other useful fun stuff is the plane tracking java found at trip.com. That may not be as accurate, but it sill gives you a good idea of what’s going on.
I hope you all have a great b-day for your mom. We are disappointed at missing the celebration. Looking forward to the reunion…C
