my new technique is now not to leave for a BHX or EMA till the plane has landed, its working so far, i get the calls about 5 minutes from the barriers, no sitting waiting
I have found that the airport arrivals pages on Google and teletext are often not even updated until the damn flight has landed. I live about 35 minutes away from EMA and the planes usually fly past our town when on final approach to landing. I think I will get a good telescope and see which planes are coming over before setting off.
have you tracked a flight onscreen with flightstats?
my mate came back from faro to BHX, 20 minutes early (nice), but then and had to fly over walsall to wait for his slot, if id looked out the window id have seen him!
Careful with flightstats.com not all flights are accurately listed we have had flights listed on there as running 20 mins late which in fact landed 15 mins early and the passengers were then wandering around the drop off zone whilst the driver was in the terminal looking for them !
and some charter flights come up as not existing especially carribean flights and some airlines such as Monarch and thomas cook
