In addition, travelers inconvenienced by last-minute changes can check updated flight schedules to quickly rebook and save time at the airport.

Users of WorldMate for Nokia S60 simply enter their flight numbers directly into the mobile application. The WorldMate service acts as a 'guardian angel', watching over travelers' itineraries and proactively notifying them of delays or cancelations. As flight schedules change, the service pushes personal alerts directly to the mobile device, and enables users to react within the application by referencing updated schedules to find suitable alternate flights.
