Hey Commuters,

What's your go to app for checking the flight schedules/delays for your commute flights?

I had been using FlightTrack PRO (and later FlightTrack5) by Mobiata. Select two airports you're trying to go between and it populates a combined list of ALL airlines flying between those two cities listed according to departure time. This was all real time too. Flights Delayed? Instead of being colored in the normal BLUE, it was now colored RED and showed estimated times for departure. ... SUPER nifty for last minute decisions on which flight to go for.

Mobiata got bought out by Expedia.com and the FlightTrack App has been shut down effective today. Major bummer for someone who commutes between two major cities and commutes on multiple airlines.

Can you commuters out there share with me any apps that offer this functionality? I'd rather not have to go search each individual airline app to check on the status of upcoming flights.

I like pass rider.com. There's no app for it that I know of, but you can go the website on your smartphone and look up all the possible flights between cities. It's especially helpful if you have to two leg it, because you can have it show interline connections between multiple carriers.

It's also able to filter through a specific airport or airline if you want. And results can be shown by departure time or arrival time.

I ran into the same problem. I was FlightTrack for years and about 2 weeks ago It would show "no flights available" for every city pair. I started using FlightView Free. It works but it shows a flight and it shows every code share flight number as well, so for one flight at 10:00, it will take up 4-5 lines. Maybe there is a way to turn that "feature" off.

Edit. Just looked at the settings in the app and it allows you to turn off code share flights. Much better now.

I'm also upset about the demise of FlightTrackPro. I would load my entire pairing. Made it easy to see what gate was planned and if you were changing planes or what gate your deadhead was at. Great quick way to check if your first flight in the morning was delayed before you left the hotel at 0430, and the map view was a neat screenshot for friends and family.

Anyway, I am trying out FlightUpdatePro. It has similar functionality at FlightTrack, but the interface isn't as user friendly. For instance you can't just look up a flight, you have to create a "trip" and then "add flight" to enable the search function. Not horribly difficult, but not as simple as flighttrack. The flight list does still provide the gate information and if the flight is delayed.

It seems to work fine for my needs (regional pilot and commuter), it provides all the same info as FTP, albeit not as cleanly and I feel it is worth the $10, but I would be willing to pay $20 to have FlightTrackPro back. FTP was just better

As someone else said pass rider .com is perfect. Good view of all available routes/flights. Especially if you two leg it. It sometimes has popups on mobile. But on my pc laptop never had em. Doesnt give any load info but some airlines smart phone apps do. United app does. I personally have had good luck with the seatmap being accurate with the United app. But things can change fast as we all know.

Another vote for FlightView, great app.
