Cool Tool to Check on Flights

Postby ECO » Sun Apr 11, 2010 5:04 pm

If you have ever wondered how many flights are coming in at the same time as your flight = how long you will wait at customs & immigrations, this site will display the flights and info: http://www.flightstats.com

For my next flight to Jamaica, I can see that one flight lands 40 minutes before mine and one at the same time as mine. The flight that lands before me is a Skyline flight and it looks like they are not flying anymore http://www.montrealgazette.com/technolo ... story.html :scratchheadblue: :scratchheadblue:

So, I will only have to wait in line with 399 other people unless we arrive before the flight from the UK.....then I only have to run past the 78 people that are sitting in front of me ;-)

Hmm, I just figured out how two planes are scheduled to land at the same time, it's something called codeshare.....meaning the AA and British Airlines flights are actually the same plane :thumbup:

It looks like 6 planes are going to land within 25 minutes of my arrival this time. Since the plane ahead of us is scheduled to land 40 minutes before us hopefully they land on time, we land on time and the 6 flights that land within 30 minutes of us all show up on time or late.....not early or that will mean long ass lines!
