Heading to the airport on the holidays usually brings thoughts of screaming babies, long delays and pictures of stranded passengers forced to endure a sleepless night on the floor or an empty terminal. Here’s one tip to help those traveling during the holiday months which is to check out FlightStats.com.

It’s a website that you can check flight information around delays, and even better, how long that security line is going to take to get through so you can plan to leave the house a little earlier if you need to. Plus you can set up alerts to be sent to your phone or email address if anything changes. It even tells you what gate your next flight is if you have a connection.

And the coolest thing is that all of this can be accessed through your cell phone which makes it nice when you don’t have access to your laptop or an Internet connection.
