When you want to catch the plane, you really don’t want to take the time to call your airline or wade through a mass of pages just to see if your plane is on time.  Google knows that, which is why they’ve made it simple to check the status of your flight through the search box.

All you have to do is type in the airline name followed by the flight number, and Google will tell you whether or not the flight is on time.  They get this information through a flight tracking company known as FlightStats.

So, if you want to check the status of your domestic flight from Newark to Miami, just type in the airline and the flight number and you will see that your flight is all set to go at 9:45 AM in the morning.
