In my last post I highlighted a top ten list of travel applications for the iPhone. This time I wanted to highlight an additional application (for smartphones, iPhones, and the Web) that might be pretty handy for frequent airline travelers.
The application, called FlightView, allows airline travelers to easily track the status of flights and airports. It provides real-time information on delays and allows users to graphically see everything from a flight's progress to the number of airlines being delayed at a specific airport. You can save frequent itineraries for repeated use and view everything from baggage claim info to the weather.
World Flights: a very useful app for your passengers!
I am one of Wellington most frequent flyers.
I travel around the World at least once month for business and am constantly prone to delayed or cancelled flights.
To optimise my time, I have decided to create an iPhone application that gives live departures and arrivals information for any flights at any given airport around the World.
Here are some of the features of the very helpful iPhone travel app, World Flights:
- Provides accurate and up-to-date information about commercial flights to and from any airport, or based on any given route
- Identifies the nearest airport to a specific location
- Allows users to save their most frequented airports and routes as favorites for quick access
- Displays flight tracking information on a map
Many airports have already developed their own similar app (Auckland, Heathrow…) but with info only related to them. World Flights saves you from having an app per airport, it gives you info for any airport around the world!
This new app already has a great success around the globe. If you feel it could be any value to my fellow travelers from Wellington do not hesitate to mention it in your website
