Which Flight Tracker is Best?

OK, I'm really pissed today.

Went into Air France site to check one of their flights and Air France didn't even have information on their own flight online!

So I went into "virtuallythere.com" which I've used for several years with no problem.

Well, virtuallythere did have the Air France flight - but the arrival time was THREE HOURS off! I was VERY late in picking up some members of my family and, needless to say, they were not happy either after a long, tiring flight.

So, please help! Which flight tracker website have you used? And how reliable have you found it?

TIA!

Here are a few:

http://flightaware.com/

http://www.flightstats.com/go/Home/home.do

http://flightview.com/

I like flightstats. I get the updates sent to my mobile phone (take-off, delays, arrivals, etc.).

My son is an airline pilot and I use Flightaware to track him!! I find it very accurate!
