You missed a few very handy ones
Yapta will search for prices of flights, even after you have booked and let you know if you can get a refund based on your airlines policies.
Tripit lets you keep all of your itinerary information in one place.
GateGuru (when combined with TripIt above) will tell you when your flight has been delayed, if there is a gate change, etc.
MeeTicket will keep all of your electronic boarding passes for you, saving you from having to print out your boarding passes and in many cities allowing you to go straight to security if you have no checked bags.
