Hi,
What will be the cheapest/easiest way to check flight arrival times on my mobile?
The wife is getting into Heathrow tomorrow evening and before I drive all the way down there want to check the flight is going to be there. But I'm out of the office all day tomorrow, so have to check on my mobile. |

I would have thought ringing the airport direct would be the cheapest.

Not really the the "Coolest 3G in 3D" way to do it but call 02087598720
Just listen to the annoying femail prompts - then you enter the flight number and it gives you the info you want.
PS. This is for Heathrow only.
Hope this helps dude.... |

Sorry I don't have the answer too; just want to share my surprise that only a few airports seem to offer flight info on wap,sms etc.
For Brussels national airport you can send an sms which generates a reply, i think some Italian airports offer a service which replies also when the situation has changed for some reason. So many missed opportunities...
You might be lucky to get the data from the airport regular website to appear in the google-converted way on wap... |

I used the flying messeage service, linkn below. Didn't think much of it.
I also had a friend check the info online and text me, which worked better and free.

I tried the service when picking a friend up last year. It was useless. It told me that they had landed just as we got home, 80 miles away.
