BOSTON, Mass. - November 19, 2007 - 27 million people are expected to fly home for Thanksgiving, and this year they're likely going to find traveling more inconvenient than ever.
So, in this time of record delays, Seth Stolbun has come up with a way to help ease the crunch. The 19-year-old entrepreneur is a Freshman at Babson College and he's created a new service that provides continuously updated flight status, by phone, for airlines and airports nationwide.
Before Stolbun flew home to Houston for his Thanksgiving break, he stopped by WBUR to talk with Bob Oakes about the service, 1-800-Flights.
Audio for this story will be available on WBUR's web site later today.
