My flight was cancelled with 15 or so of us quaffing coffee (airline
version of). No info on baa.com nor the airlines' sites. In short, a
perfect demo of how the info age is not yet with us. Maybe one day
we'll get a 140 char Twitter-like improvement.

My experience is that most flight departure delays are caused by
"incoming aircraft" delays. So what you really need is information about
when the inbound aircraft left its last port of call.
