Flight details
The other day my mom told me about a neat sms service. When you have to pick somebody up from the airport it’s handy to know whether the fight is on schedule or delayed. Instead of calling the airport or searching the net for flight details, simply sms the flight number to 35007 and you imediately recieve an sms with the current flight details. This service is provided by the Airports Company South Africa and available for all ACSA airports in South Africa. I’ve used it a few time now and everytime it worked like a charm.

That reminds me of the the night before Anna was born. Faith’s mum was flying in from Brisbane, I was in the hospital birthing room, no computers, mobiles etc…. used a payphone to call the airline, did it the old fashioned way
Perth Airport has a graphical display about where flights roughly are tracking, but it’s only estimates of the position of the plane. Go to http://www.perthairport.net.au/default.aspx?MenuID=11
