Just in time for the Thanksgiving travel season, FlightView launched a more powerful version of its mobile app FlightView Elite for Android users. The application keeps the core elements of the original FlightView app, allowing users to track their flights in real-time, plan for delays and call the airline directly to re-book flights. In addition, there are few new features included as well:
- Flight Boards – from where you can view and sort through arriving and departing flights for all of the top U.S. and Canadian airports — i.e. just like you were on an airport.
- Directions to the airport – view airport locations on a map and obtain turn-by-turn driving directions from the current location.
- Weather Forecasts – seven-day forecasts for over 900 airports around the world.
The “basic” FlightView app, which BTW has been downloaded by more than 144,000 Android users since July, remains available for free or for 99 cents ad-free. FlightView Elite costs $3.99…
