Airport Pickup Utility (APU)

Problem Description

This web application uses the Flight Stats and Google Distance matrix APIs to solve a common problem at airports far and wide.

User enters a flight number, origin address and (optionally) a seat number to calculate the perfect departure time.

George Costanza would have loved APU. His quote from Episode 52 of Seinfeld tells the whole story.

"We're perfect. I timed this out so we would pull up at the terminal exactly 17 minutes after their flight is supposed to land. That gives them just enough time to get off the plane, pick up their bags and be walking out of the terminal as we roll up. I tell you, it's a thing of beauty. I can not express to you the feeling I get from a perfect airport pickup."
