But guess what?! GateGuru is a new iPhone application that serves as an insiders guide to American airports. I can't give you first-hand experience feedback because there are, of course, two downsides, which make me unable to use the app: primarily because it is not an application for Blackberry (yet) and secondly, it only features airports in the good ol' US of A (85 of the top American airports, and none abroad).
According to Dan Gellert, the creator of this helpful tool, the app uses GPS to recognize which domestic airport you're sitting in, and then you type in what you need to survive your delay—for example, a good beer and a decent steak, orrr maybe a foot massage—and you'll get a list of the best and closest options.
And soon, GateGuru will add flight notification—your phone will get a quick alert if your plane's been delayed, so you can keep on talking with that traveling lion tamer you met at the bar.
