Travel Nerd – Offers information like Gate Guru but also includes an overview of ground transportation options to and from the airport in case weather grounds you unexpectedly.

Hotel Tonight – Helps travelers with last minute plans by offering deeply discounted same-day or night bookings in about a dozen major cities.
