I'm getting several completely different sets of info on the status of AA 3601 from ORD-ABQ. AA.com saying hasn't left yet, EF saying it has, Flight tracker, etc.

I'm in ABQ scheduled on 3600 ABQ-ORD (so same plane), so I'm just wondering if one or more of the sources above is more 'definitive' than the other. AA.com says 3601 is 2 1/2 hours late. EF seems to indicate it only left about 30 minutes late.

No complaints, just trying to plan my day. Thanks. I'll be sure to ask the pilot if there are any big announcements coming...

EDIT: So AA just updated the status of my flight 3600 ABQ-ORD indicating the 2 1/2 hour delay, so I assume it's probably correct that the flight has indeed not left. Not sure why the other info sources indicated it did.

some have said that aa cargo is the best source....

I find aacargo.com to be very useful, particulary because it will clarify if a plane has departed the gate, but not actually taken off yet.

Currently aacargo.com has a note about the flight being diverted, though I don't see a diversion airport. It also lists and estimated departure of 12:15, so I'd say the plane hasn't left. (Perhaps it left the gate and then returned to the gate? That's a guess though)

Thanks - had forgotten that good FT advice.

There were massive storms that blew through Chicago late morning, causing havoc with the flights.

At ord G3 right now staring at 3 firetrucks between us and H terminal. I'm sure they're not helping any.

If you have Expert Flyer, it's just as good: it pulls the data from AA's reservation system.

Sometimes aacargo will list a flight as 'diverted' when in fact, the plane pushed back and then returned to the gate.
