Location: Michigan | I dont know about you but I am sick & tired of having to call a business and end up going through 15 minutes of BULLSH@T pressing buttons to get to a REAL PERSON , I have used this quite a few times and it has worked very well when you want to get to a HUMAN without having to prompt for a lifetime to reach them.
Its worth a try to save one some extra time that you could of been playing your Ovation instead of pushing phone buttons getting frustrated.
Hope it helps.GWB

Here's another http://flightview.com
There also is one flighttracker.com but I think that one os for private aircraft.
If someone is picking people up at an airport this season it will be helpful to know if it's on time. |

Location: Round Rock, TX | Thanks, guitarwannabee. I've got the site bookmarked now. Before this list I would generally hit 0 or say "agent" or "operator" to shortcut IVR mazes. Didn't always work, but more times than not it would provide the desired effect. |

Location: Orlando, FL | Another hint - Some IVRs are made to try to reduce customer frustration. If you start repeating the F-word, the system may route you to a person. Or not, it has worked for me on occasion. |

Like I said, sometimes it works. sometimes it doesn't. And shouting obscenities into the phone usually makes me feel somewhat better... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Boring. I was hoping for something like you heard it from Cliff, but it didn't work for Templeman because of his accent. |
