Why not link to https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/just-landed/id520338005?mt=8 instead of http://search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZContentLink.woa/... which just prompts me to open iTunes?
Kudos to Jon, Graham, and Sean for putting together a great app. Looks clean and works wonderfully - can't ask for much more!
I think this is a prime example of the vast potential of computers to generate material value beyond what we could have ever dreamed of in the 1960s. Finally I can avoid making all those painful driving time estimates. This is really a significant improvement over plugging the flight name into Google. It could save me seconds, no minutes of valuable time that I could be spending developing my revolutionary messaging…
Well polished everywhere and looks great, but... is there really a demand for this?...

I've used it several times as well. Great app. The only time it didn't work so hot was on an international arrival. It didn't account for the time they spent going through customs, so I was waiting a while.
Thanks for using the app, and I'm sorry if we let you down on an international arrival. It happens - customs and baggage claim are both pretty unpredictable. As it turns out, we do try to factor additional time for international customs, but it's just an average since there's no real-time data available on customs wait times (which vary widely by airport, time of day, what passport the traveler has, and season). I al…
Every federal agency is required to designate a FOIA officer. In my limited exerperiance, the helpfulness of these officers vary wildly between agencies.

TSA's is about 2/3 of the way down the page. Good luck!
This app is not available in my local iTunes Store. Does it perhaps only do US airports?
From my experience all I need know is if there is a delay or not, which I check quickly on the airport's page. If on time: For international flights and large airpors if you have about 1h to travel (traffic, distance etc) leave when the plane is landing. By the time the plane gets to the gate, people get out, find their luggage and so on, it will be ~ 1 hour. You won't need to park your car, go straight to the door f…
From my experience, there's a ~30min. difference between various data providers and even the airport on a flight status so I'm not sure if this would be my primary source of information.
- The airlines publish scheduled gate arrival times, whereas we show runway landing times and then factor time to the gate and time through the terminal when telling you when to leave.
- The airlines pad their times by 15-30 minutes depending on the route to allow them to be a little late and not get penalized for it.
Our times will almost always be earlier than the time printed in the itinerary or shown on the airline website. This is normal and intentional, and does not mean the data is wrong - in fact it's just giving a more accurate estimate of the actual landing time. I feel very comfortable making this statement as I have verified it in my own field testing, and I've also heard from thousands of happy customers who write to me to say how surprisingly accurate the app is in a real airport pickup scenario.
very well done landing page. nice job guys!
