Remember when GPS came out and we could start to track where things were and how long it would take to get there? It sure made driving and finding directions a lot easier and hassle free. This technology has recently been implemented into tracking commercial airline flights allowing people to keep a closer eye on flights that are of interest to them. Isn’t it frustrating to have a loved one’s itinerary that you received months before their flight only to count on that time to still be accurate when you’re driving into the pick-up area?
With different flight tracking programs on the web, it has become a lot easier to pin down the exact time a flight will be landing and taking off. This allows friends, hotels and mountain shuttle companies to better plan pick-up times for their guests and loved ones. Here are a few tracking programs that are easy to use in order to find out when a particular plane is taking off, landing, or still cruising around in the clouds above towns like Breckenridge.
- Flight Stats – One of the better flight tracking programs is Flight Stats. Their interface is very user friendly making it easier to find exactly what you need. See live updates on where planes are and recent news regarding their status.
