Hello!

Is there a way to find out a flights last known set of times and delays at all.. am thinking on going to Dubai but need to work out how often (if at all) the return flight might pick up a delay as I need to be back in London by 4pm, and the flight should land at 13.50, so can't work out if I should come back the day before just in case!?

GJ, I didn't know you fly DL to JFK

There is a feature on expedia (I think) that shows the on time history of a flight..just plug in the dates and select VS.

Virgin Atlantic's own web site gives a history of yesterday's and today's flights which is quite useful. For example yesterday's 401 from DXB was only 10 mins late whereas today the 401 isn't due to leave DXB until 10:30 which is an hour late.

I use Flight Stats, you will need to register (it is free) and you will then be able to look at route history delays/performances etc.

Or use http://www.lhr-lgw.co.uk. You can see what time the flight arrives/departs from Heathrow and compare that to sch time.
