Check airline arrivals on Google

$Account.OrganizationName
Greetings!
Check airline arrivals on Google
Don't waste time calling the airlines

With the holidays coming up, do you dread calling the airlines to check on flight arrival times? It's really not necessary. You can do it on Google. Click here to go to Google's website: www.Google.com. In the long white Search box type the airline and flight number, for example United 222. (Be sure to use a space between them.) Then LEFT click Google Search.

The first line of search results will say:
Track status of United Airlines flight 222
on Travelocity - Expedia - fboweb.com

LEFT click fboweb.com.

A map will appear on your screen showing the current location of the flight. To the right of the map you will see a status chart, indicating the flight's origination and destination cities, it's current status and other flight information. If you're really bored, you can continue to watch the map and see the location of the aircraft change every minute.

This tip is found on page 82 of my book, Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics. There are several other Google tips on that page.

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
