Holiday Travel

I don't know if it's the case for all airlines or not, but I found that the American Airlines website was particularly helpful. You are able to pull up all flights going to and from a destination, and once you pull up that flight you can then check to see what seats are open and pick exactly where you would like to sit. Or, if you are picking someone up, they have a flight checker that keeps you updated on the arrival and departure times, it is even capable of sending a text message to your cell phone to keep you updated while you are away from the computer.
