You can track exactly where his plane is, including airspeed & elevation, using the above link! Hopefully, you have the flight number

VERY weird, because this data is completely different than what continental has.


Continental states they are still waiting for inbound to terminal, with a planned departure time of 3:57 (it's already past that) and an arrival in Boston for 5:14, but the Flytecomm shows a planned departure of 4:01 pm with an arrival of 4:40 p.m.

See my confusion? Which to believe?

Yuppers, very soon...still no further update on flight status - ARGH! It looks like they post the updates about every half hour - the last one was 3:35 and then 4:05, so I'll wait for the 4:35 before I leave, just so I have a better idea of estimated arrival.

When the plane actually lands, it is at least another 20 minutes to get the carrier to the cargo pick-up area where I'll be waiting.

Good Luck!


Flytecomm has the actual landing and departure times as opposed to leaving and arriving the gate.
It's normally very accurate.

I'll definitely post an update later after I get him home and settled.

Latest status: Flight is in the air and on the way, estimated arrival time is now close to 5:30, so I'm going to leave here in about 5-10 minutes, and will probably have a wait of about 30-45 minutes once I get there.

Here I come, Max, my baby!

Yeah, but according to them, the plane is at zero altitude, and no info has changed over the last 40 minutes, whereas the continental site shows them en route.

So, I dunno, LOL...Off I go!
I'll post later tonight!!!!

Congrats on getting Miracle Max. You probably have him by now. I'm not at your time zone, but it's almost 3pm my time which means it's almost 6pm your time.

I wonder if Penny will remember him.

She's probably worn a circle in the carpet. I know I couldn't sit still waiting for such a precious bundle.
