FAA stats and flight delays

Consulting teaches you one thing for sure - how to be smart about your travel. Be it filling up of bags in a smart way or be it checking out for flights in smart ways.

For a naive user, flightstats.com is good enough. However, someone wanting further information, can drill down at the FAA site here. Ground stops at your destination indicate that you are now going to have your flight out in that time period. In such cases, call the airlines you are flying with to confirm if you should reach the airport or not.

You can also sign up individual air carriers' notifications which can email and/or text you about it. However, if you are following the FAA method above, then you would find this providing information with a lag.
