FlightLocator for Windows Phone 8

Just a month after submitting my Flight Locater app on the Pebble App Store, I've written exactly the same app for the Windows Phone platform. With the capabilities of Windows Phone 8 tools, I'm able to validate input entries and handle exceptions if the flight detail cease to exist. This is the first stage of my submission, so in less than a week time, I will be uploading my 1.1 version of the app. Let me hint at some interesting features that I will add on:

- Handling no network exception
- Displaying logos of popular airlines
- Much more elegant UI

As such, please remember to like and share the app if you think that it is useful. Do review and rate it as well :)

However, please be warned that the information displayed may be inaccurate, so DO NOT use this app as your primary source for your flight details. Instead, refer to the information provided to you by your ticket provider or airline in case of any last minute flight changes. Always cross check information from watch with the information from your ticket provider/airline!
