I'm not aware of one, but I'm just a Canadian, and we don't have the cool online flight tracking sites that you Americans do. ;-)

They do work great on the PC but I'm 60 miles from the airport and having the ability to see what is going on with a flight from my phone would be pretty nice.

Having spent 25 years in NM (and I'm not that old), and 5 years in Santa Fe, I can appreciate your flight status problem.

Try http://dps1.travelocity.com/hhtcy.ctl?Service=TMCHDML (apparently it is case sensitive). I haven't gotten it to work consistently, but most of the time it works well. For reference, check http://svc.travelocity.com/info/info_main/0,,TRAVELOCITY:EN|MOBILE_SOLUTIONS,00.html

Good luck! Man, I miss red chile!

Thanks pk. Guess it does not work on Verizon. I will have to keep looking.

No one should be without red chili....

Shoot, I mistyped. It should be:

http://dps1.travelocity.com/hhtcy.ctl?Service=TMCWHDML

It works from my i600.

Have a look at THIS (http://pdaportal.us/category.php?category=Travel&language=EN) page. Maybe one of these WAP sites will do the trick.

pk does not work for me yet, I'll try again. byteme I tried those first (when you first brought this site to our attention - thanks). Nothing for Southwest, the OAG works. I've decided to set up e-mail notifications from some airlines until I can find something that I can check when I wish.

byteme, yes that is what I'm using until I can find a "pull" flight tracker. By the way don't give up on the smartphone yet.

I haven't. But I am going back to carrying 2 devices with me. Since I can't stand using the Tungsten T I'm going to get either the iPaq 1945 or the Toshiba E405.

I get a lot of "requested URL can not be found" messages when trying to use it. Looks like they may have screwed up their HREF's. :?

The only one I have used is Continental Airlines' mobile version on their WAP site (wap.continental.com, I believe).
