...For those of us that prefer CLI:

add to ~/.profile

Code:
flight_status() { if [[ $# -eq 3 ]];then offset=$3; else offset=0; fi; curl "http://mobile.flightview.com/TrackByRoute.aspx?view=detail&al="$1"&fn="$2"&dpdat=$(cu-date +%Y%m%d -d ${offset}day)" 2>/dev/null |html2text |grep ":"; }


 ▐
then simply run

$ flight_status LH 471

Requirements:
* html2text (it's in the SDK repo if not the regular repo)
* curl ( http://www.box.net/os2008#os2008/1/38267044/393488254/1 )
* date (CoreUtils version, not busybox; http://www.box.net/os2008#os2008/1/38267044/393493066/1 )
rename cu-date.rename to cu-date and place in /usr/bin and give it executable permission

i.e.:
Code:
# mv cu-date.rename  /usr/bin/cu-date
# chmod +x /usr/bin/cu-date
P.S.
runs great on linux desktop too
Code:
flight_status() { if [[ $# -eq 3 ]];then offset=$3; else offset=0; fi; curl "http://mobile.flightview.com/TrackByRoute.aspx?view=detail&al="$1"&fn="$2"&dpdat=$(date +%Y%m%d -d ${offset}day)" 2>/dev/null |html2text |grep ":"; }

Also if you are using busybox date or enter an invalid date, you still get some useful info

Code:
$ flight_status LH 471 +x

date: invalid date `+xday'
