Peter, I did compare FlightTrack before deciding that I personally preferred Flight Update. For me, the deciding factor was the screen that is pictured above next to the Flight Update listing. Its trip summary screen has much more information contained on it than FlightTrack provides on the comparable screen.

I prefer having all that information on one screen, instead of having to select each individual flight to see gate information, on time information, etc.

It’s a personal preference but I just find it more convenient. I’m an information junkie when I fly so I like having all that information right in front of me on a single screen.

NileGuide offers a great iPhone app that enables users to browse suggested trip itineraries in their current location and 130 destinations around the world, including things to do, places to stay, and places to eat. The free app also enables users to view their own customized trip itineraries on their device as an alternative to downloading a PDF.

I am surprised you list Flight Update. I love FlightTrack–and it has been the top-selling travel app for many months. I recently moved up to FlightTrack Pro. I love it.

Alison, I may have to give Tripit a try, especially since the pro version of Flight Update is compatible with them too!

LOL dda I didn’t take it personally. :) I actually was kind of poking fun at myself. I’m obsessed with my iPHONE. But I don’t actually use it as a phone barely ever. Actually, so infrequently that when I do I have to stop and think about which buttons to push! How crazy is that?

I can’t imagine flying that often. That must be really stressful with all the security hassle and everything these days. I fly a couple times a year and that’s plenty for me.

Nancy, the comment wasn’t directed at you personally, rather a comment on the general possibility to be seated in a plane where phone calls are allowed… I fly 100+ times a year, so airplanes are my last refuge from loud phone conversations…

The pro version of TripIt (http://www.tripit.com/) is also very cool. You can get check-in reminders, alerts about delays and gate changes, and it tracks rewards point for you. There’s an iPhone app, but Tripit’s service is also accessible on almost any phone with an Internet connection.

I assume the concern about the one star reviews is with the plan.pack.go app, from looking at the ratings in the iTunes store.

If you look just at the ratings for the current version of the app, the one star commenters have basically two complaints. A couple want to be able to add their own categories to their list, which I don’t feel I need since the available categories are very comprehensive.

The second complaint is that the app has been extremely crash-prone since the upgrade to iPhone 3.0. I’ve been running it on an iPhone 3G upgraded to iPhone 3.0 since the day the upgrade was released and haven’t experienced a single crash while preparing for multiple trips with it. So my experience has been really good and I don’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Stephen, Evernote does have a very powerful iPhone app. If you are a user of their service you should check it out! And my personal game addiction for long waits on the air or on the ground is Bejeweled.

dda, you don’t need to worry about me making any phone calls from up there. I hate talking on the phone! But I can’t wait to hook up to some of that WiFi in the sky. You’ll hear the tap-tap of my keys as I email and twitter the whole flight!
