First Claim
1. A flight travel assistance system for a traveler, comprising:
- a base network including flight schedule information, said flight schedule information relating to a plurality of flights and including originating location, destination location and flight departure time for each such flight;
a mobile wireless communication unit adapted to communicate with the base network and including an information display, a clock for determining time, a memory for storing a user travel itinerary, said travel itinerary having time-based traveler location information including current traveler location and traveler next destination;
a logic unit adapted to cause selective communication with said base network to selectively obtain next flight schedule information for a flight having a flight departure time next after a selected time, said current traveler location as its originating location, and said traveler next destination as its destination location, and a display control adapted to cause said information display to display selected portions of said next flight schedule information.

Abstract
A personal travel assistant for a user includes a wireless communication device adapted to communicate with a base network having flight schedule information relating to a plurality of flights. The travel assistant stores time-based traveler location information, including different time periods and a traveler location associated with each of the time periods. A clock provides the current time for determining a current one of the time periods. A logic unit causes selective communication with the base network to selectively obtain flight schedule information, for example, for a first flight having a flight departure time after the expiration of the current time period, with the current traveler location as originating location, and the traveler next destination as destination location.
