BOSTON, MA (June 08, 2010) Just in time for the summer travel season, FlightView, the flight tracking application preferred by mobile users for accuracy and ease-of-use, today announced the immediate availability of FlightView for iPhone users. Combining a highly intuitive user friendly design, the ability to organize and interact with travel information and the industry's most accurate and actionable flight information, the application represents a major breakthrough in the trade-off between cost and functionality in the extremely competitive market for iPhone apps.

Available for just $0.99 at iPhone's app store, FlightView's app delivers features in a highly visual and easy-to-interact-with interface that meet the demands of even the savviest traveler:

• My Trips: whether taking a trip with connecting flights, traveling to multiple destinations, meeting family members or business colleagues arriving from different locations, or managing hotel and car rental information associated with a trip, FlightView's My Trips feature enables travelers to group flight legs into trips and incorporate key pieces of travel information - creating easily referenceable trip data for a more productive day of travel experience.
• The FlightView Map: the industry's most advanced map where travelers can monitor flights en-route and the weather patterns that may be affecting departure and arrival cities and everything in between.
• Airport Delays: a comprehensive view of delay status at major North American airports to help travelers better understand the cascading effect of delays on their own flights.

"iPhone users are the vanguard of app buyers and as such, they have very high expectations for value and functionality," said Michael Benjamin, CEO of FlightView. "With that in mind, we've created a travel app that optimizes usability and is packed with features that help road warriors and vacation travelers alike make better day-of-travel decisions about when to the leave for the airport, what alternative flights exist when things go wrong and how to manage key ground transportation, hotel, and restaurant reservations."
