  • Application Description

    Retrieve from the Internet live Flight Status for most all commercial flights which operate in the U.S. Over 70 airlines are supported. All you need to know is the airline and the flight number. Flight Status will do the rest. Also included is a flight number lookup feature - useful when you don't know the flight number and an airport/city lookup table.

    • This software is useful whether you are trying to catch a flight or as an aid when picking someone up at the airport.
    • This program supports any Palm OS device that has an Internet connection (SmartPhones such as the Treo and Samsung lines, Wi-Fi enabled palms and bluetooth enabled palms that have Internet access via a bluetooth enabled cell phone.)
    • This software is about 10 times faster than using your palm's conventional browser to get this information.
    • This software was written by a high school freshman and is being offered as freeware/begware. No subscriptions, no fees.
    • This software is handy when you need to pickup someone at the airport. It will tell you very accurately when the flight is going to land or when a flight is estimated to take off. NOTE: All actual departure times are the time of takeoff not the time the flight departed from the gate. Actual arrival times are the time of landing not the time the aircraft arrived at the gate.
    • This application is a palm application not a .pqa.

    Updated Description:

    v2.00 - Added Gate Information for airlines marked with an '*'. Added baggage claim information for airlines marked with '**'.


    v1.05 - Improved speed of data retrieval while reducing the amount of data transferred by a factor of 10 or 20 times. Enjoy


    v1.04 - Fixed a problem when fetching flights for a city pair. Added the ability to see the aircraft's current flight path over a map of the USA. (Browser required for this feature)


    v1.03 - Fixed the problem: "Your connection is congested or website is down. Please try again. 2".


    v1.02 - New. Added the ability to check the time it takes to clear Altanta Security in real time.

    Nice app, but limited to select airlines.

    Wonderful execution of an essential travel tool. It is better than the information you receive at the airport. While waiting for a flight, I was aware of an equipment change and the gate agents were not. Add to the fact that the weather is also displayed (i.e. rain) that may cause problems at other airports. WOW!

    It's a great little app, no doubt, but my problem is that it only gives you status "no earlier than 2 hours before the flight". Since one needs to be at the airport 1 to 2 hours early to get through security and checkin, plus it takes me over an hour to just get to the airport, it doesn't help me figure out when to leave for the airport. In other words, it's great if you're picking someone up or if you typically only need very little time to get to the airport. Cool, but unusable for my needs.

    As everyone has said this program does exactly what it says and do it. On a scale of 1 to 5 it's a 10. Andrew you're a genius in the making. Keep up the good work.

    I've been using this application for a few weeks now. There's nothing like being able to check the status of a flight while you're headed up the road to pick someone up at the airport. The application is very user friendly and the flight information access time is outstanding. If you fly, you're gonna love this application.
