@D2 FlightAware, is useful for tracking inbounds and looking at flight paths and general flight data like altitude. Other useful apps for flyers... SeatGuru for figuring out which seats to choose, Seat Alerts (ExpertFlyer) to gauge upgrade availability, LiveATC for listening in on what’s going on with your plane (for example, on today’s flight I heard that we were waiting on fuel calcs on an updated flight plan — the roundabout one we ended up taking — while we were sitting on a taxiway so I knew the reason for our delay)

@OW1 I flew into SFO... FWIW I took off from 13R at JFK

Yeah almost 7 hours with the convoluted routing, but I lucked out and got upgraded to business (this is the A321t 3-class config on AA) 🙌🏼

Damn, that’s... a long flight.

Hope you were at least business!

Same thing happened to me the other day. Very similar northerly route, ~7 hours

“Runway 28R, clear to land”. Catch y’all later and happy fly day!

What app is this?

JFK doesn’t have a 28R...

@D3 that it was, especially crossing the Dakotas/Wyoming. Hello former coworker!

Flights don’t always go in a straight line, they will try to catch or avoid winds to improve flight time

C1 - That route was to avoid ridiculous storms last night over the upper Midwest
