www.flightstats.com has been
totally redesigned to provide consumer-friendly access to the world's
most complete and reliable flight performance information.
Flightstats.com presents easy-to-use tools that help business and
leisure travelers travel smarter with better information at each phase
of travel - before, during and after.
Flightstats.com helps travelers buy smarter with performance ratings
unlike any others. "Everyone complains when their flights are late or
they miss a connection," says Meara McLaughlin, VP Business
Development for FlightStats. "If you could see clearly, before you buy
that the flight you wanted to buy was a one star (habitually late) and
another on the same carrier an hour earlier was a five star for $10
more, which would you pick? Why buy 'blind'?" Flightstats.com helps
you find the best flight for your money. A low price paid for poorly
performing flight that could ruin your vacation or business trip is no
bargain.
Flightstats.com also offers the first global flight alert system for
any flight, regardless of where travelers book, which carriers they
use or where they are headed. A simple entry form sets a monitor on
any flight that will send an alert to a desktop, PDA, or even cell
phone. This is the only one-stop notification service for busy
travelers who need the right information to stay productive on the
road.
Other useful day-of-travel features are the TSA security wait time
estimates for your airport, terminal, gate and time of day, global
flight status lookup by flight route or airport, weather conditions
and forecasts, and much more. The site also introduces a variety of
online forums to give travelers a place to share experience and
intelligence empowering people to travel smarter.
Also new are the first two application Widgets for flight status and
flight rating lookup. A Widget is a mini-application that provides you
with fast access to FlightStats information and services. Widgets are
available free to add to your Google or Microsoft Live.com
personalized home page. Widgets can also easily be included on any
website by downloading simple HTML code. These too are free for
personal or commercial use.
"We're thrilled to release this new site." Continues McLaughlin. "Our
previous site was designed to represent our extensive business
solutions. To our surprise the site really caught on with consumers
and we are now committed to serving both the consumer and business
travel market by providing innovative solutions that enable people to
travel smarter."
