The storm has caused hundreds and hundreds air travel delays. Almost worse than having to spend hours in the airport, is the airline rep not finding you a suitable flight within a short time span. Ever have it happen to you? I have and next time I'm going to be ready with my own 'search for an airline' I can use app.
If your flight is delayed, or heaven forbid not going, you want to know immediately what other flights might be available to use.
FlightTrack color-codes your flights so you can quickly know whether to get out your boarding pass or grab a breakfast taco.It can also show you what other airline seats are available. You might be able to make a better connection.
FlightBoard gives airline names, destinations, gate numbers and time of arrival/departure. It's just like an airport board, except you don't have to crane your neck to see the information. You will see more than the airline rep behind the counter; they are usually rushed due to long lines of people trying to change to better flights.
Both of these are available as apps on your iOS or Android.
If you are flying, don't leave home without them.
