Avoiding cancelled flights (and getting emailed when a booked flight might be)

Before you book that flight, head to Flightstats.com and see how often that specific flight has been delayed or cancelled in the past month. To specifically check a flights rating go here.

Already booked a flight? Get an email 4 hours before takeoff with the latest information on any delays that particular aircraft is experiencing. Flightstats says they’ll send confirmation 4 hours before departure, confirmation of arrival, and notice of cancellation or diversion for each segment of your requested flight number.
