How to Track Your Flight Status With Google

Are you traveling for holidays or vacation? Here's an easy and quick way to check your flight status ahead of time. It may not make an airplane fly faster, but it will at least warn you of a delay ahead of time.

All you need to do is type your airline and flight number in the Google search box. The first result will pull data from flightstats.com and tell you your flight's scheduled departure time and current status.

This will only work as expected for flights that are arriving or departing within a day, since airlines reuse flight numbers.
