A few stats on delays might be helpful... 25% of all flights are delayed. If you're on the last flight of the day--you have a 36% chance of delay. That's 400,000 people per day in the U.S. alone that are delayed without much or any advanced notification. 75% of all significant delays (those over an hour) are first posted by the airlines within 30 minutes of departure. For those that don't want to risk missing a meeting or getting home for dinner, advanced notification means you can change flights or at least warn your family and colleagues. Stay tuned--we'll soon be posting all our accuracy metrics at http://blog.flightcaster.com http://blog.flightcaster.com.
