You can text Heathrow Gatwick and the other BAA airports on 8222. Text the airport code and the flight number ("Lhr BA123") and a text is returned with the flight details ("Flight BA123 scheduled 1036 terminal 3 on final approach") It's ideal if your enroute to meet a flight. You have to register and a text costs 50p (add 50p onto the car parking charge) There is also a site called Flight Stats http://www.flightstats.com that you can track any inbound flight with |

teletext is ok but the internet services are poor especially the new Heathrow site the best site I know is an american internet site http://www.flightstats.com/go/Home/home.do I have found flights on there that the airport didn't have listed ! ( well until 10 mins before landing) very useful website |

One thing though with flight stats it is dependant on airlines sharing the info so if your meeting a ryanair flight it doesn't usually have up to the minute stats but is quite good on most airlines |

I usually check the airport that the flight is leaving from to see if there are any delays as well. |

Ditto. On flight stats or many of the airlines, you can get confirmation of take-off time well before any info comes through on BAA sites. Although it can take between 75 and 90 minutes from here, I can generally time my arrival fairly accurately. Then a quick cuppa in McD's before going into the terminal. Normally manage to make a profit on the parking charge!! |
