I'm trying to track a flight to pick someone up at the airport. I want one of those sites that tracks the path of the flight as it goes along and gives its speed, altitude, position etc.

I remember using one site awhile ago and it had a map and showed the plane going along but I can't find it now. Does anyone know which site that is or a site similar to that one?

Why do you need no more than just the ETA ?

Unless you're launching an ICBM, I don't see how the plane's altitude matters

"Oh Becky, guess what ? At 2:37, you crossed the 30,000 foot threshold !"

like in 2000? Because that kind of seems like a bad idea today.

no these sites exist. The info you receive is delayed by about 5 mins but they give out the rough flight path, speed, altitude, etc.

Usually I just go to the airline's website and enter in the flight number.
