Enter one of the 'Net's best kept secrets, flightaware.com, which is great at displaying realtime aircraft tracking from the FAA.
UAL reports that this flight I was tracking (UAL 5744) departed seven minutes ahead of schedule. So, what time do I really need to get to the airport to pick up my wife?

Well, it turns out that the flight went wheels-up almost 25 minutes late, but it still arrived ahead of schedule.
