On some flights, we actually know what the corresponding inbound flight is. If we know, we show a small "track incoming flight" link and consider it in our delay prediction algorithms.

On time prediction, my friend, is a profitable business. Just in case you decide to quit your current job :)

~60 minutes before my departure

60 minutes? Wow. Ryanair here in Europe does a 25 minute turn around. Often you're through the boarding gate and queueing up before the inbound flight has even landed.

Have you seen FlightCaster?
