That is exactly the kind of notification I'd be looking for. Also, when making a tight connection, it would be great to know if the next flight was delayed so I don't have to run through the airport to try to catch it.

I like this better than having to query delta.com or some other mobile site each time that I want the latest flight status information.
WorldMate sounds good (although if they can do it, why can't DL
)
but it looks like WorldMate only works on smart phones. Right now I have a dumb phone, so maybe I can find something similar.
Thanks for the info!
