Flight+ is a detailed and always up-to-date flight schedule that tracks thousands of airports and flights all over the world. It's a great companion for constant travelers who need to stay on top of departure and arrivals. The information it presents could be found elsewhere, but with Flight+, it's all packed into a clean and easy-to-navigate interface.
Flight+
I've been experiencing a good luck streak lately when it comes to air travel. There's been no lost luggage, no security incidents, only short delays and some pretty easy itineraries. I realize that I've jinxed it all to hell by writing this, but it was great while it lasted.
Even when air travel goes smoothly, though, there are sometimes hectic moments during which information must be attained right nowif you want to avoid missing your flight and spending the night in a cigarette-smelly motel room.
All that information -- flight numbers, departure and arrival times, airport conditions, etc. -- is accessible through a smartphone. It's just not always very organized. Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) works well sometimes, other times not. If you have a favorite airline you can perhaps get flight alerts, but what if you use lots of different airlines?
Flight+ is an app that corrals all kinds of publicly available flight information and presents it through an organized and easy-to-navigate interface. It's an always up-to-date universal schedule incorporating airlines, flights and airports all over the world. And it can be personalized with your own itinerary.
There are actually two versions of Flight+ -- one for iPhone and one for iPad. This isn't one of those deals that will give you one version for free if you buy the other. The iPad version is naturally able to show more info at once, but since someone hustling between flights would probably rather whip out a phone than unpack an iPad (then maybe hunt around for WiFi), I looked at the iPhone version.
