Whether you’re coming home from a holiday vacation, flying in bad weather or just taking a quick business trip, it’s always more helpful to know if your flight is on time.

You’ll get the route, departure and arrival times, and estimated departure and arrival times for connecting flights.
This tracking feature makes it much quicker to get your flight info (especially if you have a Google search box in your browser), and if you have friends coming into town on different airlines—it’s far better than going to each airline’s Web site to check flight status. I’m sold.
