Get Flight Updates on the Fly

In case you are not familiar with the unending magic of Google's services I present to you Google-411. The service gives you free directory information via voice command s and will even connect you for free. This is all well and good when I want to call the local hotel to get directions on the go, but how about when you're stuck in the car heading out to my least favorite airport: LaGuardia and need a flight's status. Once again Google has a solution for you, just send a standard text message to GOOGLE (466453) with the airline name and flight number and within a minute you'll receive a message. Not only do you get the arrival time and notification of delays but the gate where the flight is arriving. This service is provided by Google with help from Flightstats.com who tracks the information. Enjoy!
