Flightcaster Is a Flight Delay Predicator…Brilliant!

Flightcaster

Flightcaster is a newly launched Y-Combinator company that is going to help you while you travel. It is going to predicate how likely it is your flight is going to be delayed,and by how much. But airlines already tell you if a flight is going to be delayed? Really? Clearly you don’t travel enough. I can’t even keep track of the number of times flights have report to be on time,right up to the expected time of departure before being delayed,and delayed again,and then sometimes canceled. This is where Flightcaster comes into play. It looks at a lot of different data sources,incoming flight status,weather at the arrival and departure airports,and even general FAA airport delays,and then calculates a percentage of how likely your flight’s going to be delayed and by how much. They have an application up for the iPhone and Blackberry retailing temporarily at a 50% discount at just $5. (Found on TechCrunch)
