Initial release

Hey DotNetCoder,

It seems to be one v useful app as I fly a lot. I will def give it a try. Any chance to get Luton and London City on the supported airports list?

Nice, thanks DotNetCoder....
....What are your plans for epanding the app to include other UK or indeed worldwide airports? I mainly fly to Cork, my point here is that the app is only useful on one leg of my journey.

Thanks what a useful little app All working fine @ time of testing hoping not to find any bugs

what about the second busiest airport in the UK? Manchester......

US Flights and HD2

---

Just installed it and tried it briefly, lovely app.

I couldn't seem to find any US flights on it (or is it just me being blind)

Also, I've installed it on the HD2, but can't get the application back after awakening the phone. I have to end task in task manager and re-start it.

Any clues?

really nice app indeed. It would be perfect if it can include some other airport too. Thanks anyway

Great wee app, especially as i have some flying to do in the next little while. Two thoughts, can you give it a pretty icon, i just get the standard white exe icon.

Also another request for additional airports, the two Belfast ones would be really useful for me.

Thanks for the feedback guys and gals.

I originally only intended this for UK BAA airports, as they use the same code.. but after looking at some of the other suggested airports - they shouldn't be too hard to add.

There's lots of places, so I will focus on UK and Ireland international airports, then move onto the US, and then back to Europe.

This project could be quite lengthy - if any other VB.NET coders are reading this and want to help me write HTML parsers that would be v cool. Get in touch via PM if you can (of does anyone know of RSS feeds for this data?).

Before I release any more airports, I'll fix the update code - at the moment it locks out the GUI when refreshing, this will move into the background.

A globe icon has been added, so no nasty white spaces in the next version!
