Flight Board is a real time arrival and departures board for any airport in the world. It's available for iPhone and iPad, I like it on my iPad because I like the larger interface (more like a real board), but the pocket size iPhone version is nice too, and more portable.
You choose your airport and tap the button at the top of the screen to slide between arrivals and departures. The gate listing is very helpful... you can keep up with status changes for your flight without leaving the airport bar! :) I also like like the elegant, old-school design, inspired by the board at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris.
Once you've chosen your flight, if you tap on that flight, you get options to email a flight status update, post a flight status update to facebook or twitter, or if you have the FlightTracker app (another neat app by the same company which I'll review soon) track the flight.

So while this app is not free (it's $3.99) and doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles, it does the job, and in an elegant way. In my opinion, worth it. It means you can relax untethered to the inconveniently located monitors while still keeping an eye on your departing flight. Or, if you are meeting someone at the airport, you can keep track of delays, arrival gates, etc. Also very useful, especially since we've had so much unpredictable weather this year!
Happy flying!
