Virgin Blue email



Tried it for Melbourne-Sydney today and got a lengthy email back . Looks to have actual times included where appropriate, not just the scheduled times.
(In my spam folder but that's fixable)

I hope its real data and not the rubbish displayed on the website, I was checking a fellow workers flight Saturday around 5PM and was told it had landed at 5.40PM when using the DJ website, checked the ADS-B viewer to see the flight going around in circles and finally landing at 6.40PM.

While the email idea is good, whats with the lack of a flight status facility on the mobile site as well?
