"Time to Arrival" Wrong
Has anyone else noticed this has been wrong lately? On my last 4 or 5 flights this has been off by 15-20 minutes. Currently on BOG-JFK and it says we will land in 1:20. It'll be more like 2:20...

The system is probably not set to adjust to the FAA furloughs.

The ETAs, in my experience, are rarely correct. I fly JAX to LGA multiple times a year. 9 out of 10 times we get in 30 minutes earlier than the ETA. I now take the estimates with a grain of salt.

The flight time given before takeoff is usually pretty accurate. If you have a watch with a chronometer, start it at takeoff and it usually works pretty well. Another alternative is to get on Flight Aware whilst aloft and track progress from there.
