With FlightStats you can monitor domestic and international flight arrivals, departures and delays. Or you can see arrivals and departures by airport and a whole slew of other information, including a frequently updates map of airport delays in the U.S.
Any characteristic for any flight can be tracked with auotomatic emails or text messages on your cell phone. I have used it a few times now and found it very reliable and timely. They must tap into FAA Air Traffic Control system for information .
With the FlightAlert Feature you can receive:
-Status confirmation up to 3 hours prior to departure
-Notification if the flight is delayed by more than 30 minutes
-Notification if the flight is cancelled or diverted
-Arrival notification when the flight lands
You can also set it up as a handy Facebook application.
The only downside I found was the inability to change my password at will. If you forget it, they'll send you a new one, but I didn't find a facility to do it myself online.
I don't often recommend sites because there are so many of them,
but this one is very useful and easy to use. Try it.
