Flightlite Tracks Airline Flights on a Map, in Real Time
Flying comes with all kinds of unexpected delays—and of course the occasional early arrival—that can throw off your plans to pick someone up . Coordinate your next airport pickup, to near perfection, with Flightlite.
Search for any flight with Flightlite and keep dibs on the plane that you're interested in. You can search with either the flight number or the airline name, so if you at least know the carrier, you can find the specific flight that you're looking for. More than just a message board for arrivals and departures, the webapp allows you to track the status of a flight in near real time on a map, including altitude, direction, and time of arrival.
If you just wanna see how it works, give it a go by hitting the random flight button.
