Flight Tracker

Flight Tracker can provide you with information about airline flights all over the world, including arrival and departure times, en route progress, and delays.

Tips

• Flight Tracker requires an Internet connection to gather information.

• If you think Flight Tracker is useful, you might want to check out the Flights feature of Sherlock, which I discuss in Chapter 15.

To use the Flight Tracker widget

1.	Open the Flight Tracker widget (Figure 15). Figure 15. The Flight Tracker widget.
2.	Use the three drop-down lists on the left side of the widget window to choose an airline (Figure 16), departure city, and arrival city. Figure 16. Use the drop-down lists to set search criteria for airline, departure city, and arrival city.
3.	Click the Find Flights button. Flight Tracker lists all of the flights that match your criteria (Figure 17). Figure 17. Flight Tracker displays search results.
4.	To check the status of an en route flight, select the flight and click the Track Flight button. Flight Tracker displays a graphic of the route with information about the plane's location and speed (Figure 18). Figure 18. Clicking the Track Flight button displays flight status information.
