WEBSITE OF THE DAY -- Ezflt.com

Ezflt.com This website consists of just one non-clickable webpage. All it does is give the instructions below -- but it's mighty handy for U.S. travelers with cell phones (and who doesn't travel with one these days?). Just send a text message to info@ezflt.com with the airline code and flight number you're interesting in finding information about. Put a space between the code and number (for example, for American Airlines flight number 1 between JFK and LAX, text "AA 1"). Within seconds you'll receive a reply with updated flight status, including scheduled and actual departure and arrival times, gate number and baggage claim carousel number. It's perfect, whether you're traveling or picking someone up. Flight information is available for most U.S. airlines (except Southwest and jetBlue), and many international airlines. If you don't know your airline code, use these websites: JohnnyJet.com/Airline- Codes.html or OAG.
