We haz ur flight status

It might not be some cute LOLcat letting you know the status of a flight but it’s still pretty cool as long as you can give up your MS hate for a second or two and hop over to Live.com. By plugging in the flight number you want to check on you will see the result just below the sponsored sites section of the results page.

The example used here is for British Airways 10 – ba10:

As well you can also track the flight real time by clicking on the Track this flight in real time link but at this point in time this will only work for flights originating in the United States, Canada and Europe. This option comes via FlightStats.com.

The data used to display this information is provided by Farecast which Microsoft acquired and integrated into Live Search last year.

much thanks to the crew at Liveside for the info and graphic
