Track Flights

I'm sitting here, waiting in readiness to pick up my son Barrett and daughter-in-law Beccy at the airport. They are flying in from Germany, and I've been tracking their flight. I thought you might want to know how to do that, too!

Just go to www.flightaware.com. On the lower left side of the page, there is a place to put in the airline name and flight number for tracking. When a list of possible matches comes up, click on the right one. When you find the right flight, you can keep refreshing the page to see the status of the flight, and it actually shows you the flight pattern on a map as it's progressing. You don't have to log in or anything, the service is free. Free is good....

It turns out B & B missed their connecting flight in Cincinnati, so we won't be going to the airport until late tonight. Oh, well....glad I hadn't left yet. They are going to be exhausted when they get here!

Anytime you are picking someone up at the airport, or just wondering if your loved one's flight made it on time to its destination, give this handy tool a try.
