It's tedious in that you must currently do it for all departures/arrivals in your itinerary, but I have found it to work pretty well giving me flight status updates and gate change information. I'm also a nerd and I like to know exactly what gate I'm pulling into as soon as I touch down.
Good info, but let me ask - why do you use that instead of Last Minute Updates? Were you having the same problem?
I see you are in VA. I fly out of ROA, you?
