FlightCaster predicts flight delays. We use an advanced algorithm that scours data on every domestic flight for the past 10-years and matches it to real-time conditions.
We help you evaluate alternative options and help connect you to the right person to make the change.

The head teacher of the country’s leading independent school has criticised the country’s faith schools, arguing that they are “divisive” and fail to teach respect for other faiths.
Dr Martin Stephen, High Master of St Paul’s, itself a school with a Christian foundation, said that faith schools were too often “founded on fear”.
He was speaking on the eve of today’s annual John Colet Day service at St Paul’s in London. The Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams is to preach this year to mark the 500th anniversary of the founding of the school by John Colet, Dean of St Paul’s, in 1509. Colet, an early Christian humanist, founded the school with the aim of giving a free education to as many boys as possible.
Dr Stephen was immediately condemned as “dangerous” by the Bishop of London, the Right Rev Richard Chartres, whose diocese includes the cathedral and who lives in the old deanery.
U.S. plans to deploy an unmanned surveillance airship to Afghanistan are moving forward, with a contract for the Long Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle (LEMV) demonstration expected to be awarded by year-end.
Designed to stay aloft for three weeks carrying a heavy payload of wide-area sensors, the airship is becoming a flagship for Defense Dept. efforts to provide unblinking airborne surveillance to defeat the threat from roadside bombs.
The LEMV is required to stay aloft at 20,000 ft. for 21 days carrying a 2,500-lb. payload, a combination of either a multi-camera wide-area airborne surveillance (WAAS) sensor or a ground moving-target indication (GMTI) radar plus a signals-intelligence system and multiple electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors.
Lockheed Martin’s design is a 250-ft.-long hybrid airship, which derives 80% of its lift from helium buoyancy and the rest from aerodynamics so it can be launched and recovered without the traditional airship ground infrastructure. The vehicle will be optionally piloted: manned for self-deployment and unmanned for surveillance missions.
Here’s the Lockheed Martin prototype, the real thing will be twice as large.
