You send a note to the address with your flight number (i.e. AA1) and you'll receive the following back: *23-May AA 1: JFK-LAX DEPARTED 8:55am Gate:42 ARRIVED 11:41am Gate:47A Bag:4 *24-May AA 1: JFK-LAX DEPARTED 8:55am Gate:41 ARRIVED 12:29pm Gate:42A Bag:4 *25-May AA 1: JFK-LAX DEPARTED 8:58am Gate:41 ARRIVES 11:57am Gate:49A Bag:4 The response time has been very good lately. This one only took 20 seconds to respond. It doesn't handle non-text messages very well (or at all), so be sure you send just text, not HTML. Once or twice I have received updates about a major delay or cancellation before the info was posted at the gate. But that may not be shocking.
