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.
This might sound like a basic website, but it's one of the most challenging for many Americans. The moment you click the link above, a 10-minute clock starts to run. Your job is to try to name (and spell correctly) all 50 U.S. states. It was more difficult than I thought – but after some racking my brain I finally figured out the one state I was missing (I won’t tell you -- you might have the same problem). I finished with 4:22 left on the clock, and it felt as if I was in a suspense movie trying to break a code before my house blew up. It’s tense, but also fun and educational.
