Google Incorporated always seems a step ahead when it comes to improving its search engine. This time, the company has added flight statistics, meaning you’ll no longer have to visit your airport’s website to check how a flight is doing. All you have do now is type the airline and flight number into Google in order to find out the flight’s status. The first result, similar to when you want to use the built-in Google Calculator, will tell you whether the flight is on time or is delayed, as well as the estimated departure and arrival times. It’s really too bad I’m terrible at remembering flight numbers!

Right! As soon a Google buys Microsoft and Walmart, it'll own the world!

For those wondering, we will not rename the site to Neogoo.

Hmm ... Hasn't this been there for a while now ?

I'm not sure about flight times, but it works for just about anything.

I always Google my UPS and FedEx numbers. It's so quick and easy. I use the calculator for conversions very often too.

No.

Not this exact feature, no. This seems like in-flight tracking.

Google has however had flight schedule tracking since a long time, and most likely what Glass was thinking of:

Google will own the world one day. Finding info, people, currency conversions, calculator, and more.

Yes, with an online calculator, world domination is the next logical step.

If you type in someones name it tells you where they are... I believe they are using the girl from heroes to power this.

And yet it still can't tell me where my keys are. Come on Google!

I wonder what it would say if the aircraft crashes
