Title: Flight stats
Post by: Cavfan on October 27, 2012, 08:55:36 AM: I've recently had cause to check the progress of a couple of flights, one from Alicante and the other from Dalaman. I've never see this facility before , maybe other forum members have but though both airport websites there is the facility to check progress of the flights using flight stats. It's amazing! You can see where on the journey the flight is , how long exactly is left on the flight and also some interesting data on recent reliability around punctuality. It's ace! However I can't find the facility on our airport sites on the foreign ones! Certainly not linked to Leeds Bradford.

Oh yes, being a nerd has never been so much fun.

I can't get it to do anything without paying £1.99 ??
I got the app downloaded on to my iphone but it just keeps asking me for £1.99!
