Do you actually know anyone who can leave home less than an hour and a half before flight time and CHECK IN the required hour before?</font>
Well, yes... WaterPoloRef, FFaddict, mhbaker, LexPassenger, and me, for a start, plus several whose names I've forgotten -
There was an entire thread on General Travel Talk about when people leave to go to the airport not too long ago, and it was very interesting. And DL at least only REQUIRES you to check in 30 mins before for domestic flights.
But as far as reliable info on flights, there really doesn't seem to be a lot out there, including the airlines. I've also been told that the info you get from the airlines, like on-line, is actually from the control tower, which doesn't exactly care about making sure it's up to date.
For the purposes of tracking people while you're on the ground, I've had luck with Check Flights (link doesn't seem to be working, tho' - I'll try to track it down, sorry)
I'm with you 100% on the window/aisle thing. AAaLot, the jig is up!
