... The habit of flying ...

you know i love flying and that i'm a bit addicted to having a busy schedule .. hoping on the first flight to a country, staying as long as i can and taking the last one back .. but i learnt my lesson this week.

Monday evening flight from London to Paris delayed with 2 hours, was only in the hotel around 1.30 at night. Next day last flight back from Paris to London: cancelled .. had to find a hotel and booked the train to London. In bed at 2 out at 5 to catch the train ...

Than friday .. i said to myself no way i will be fooled, i will be home at a reasonable hour , take the 18h25 flight London to Brussels ....

and what: cancelled.

Now sitting here in the airport trying to reach the people who need to be aware and thinking of again a wonderful to be developped: the alerter .... What is it:

my flights are in my calender
my calender is published on the web
I select the list of people who need to be informed of my whereabouts
if somethign happens like a delayed flight or what, the tool automatically sends a message to all involved

so who wants to develop this tool, i only ask 10% of all profits till 2020 :-)

Happy travels
