There are any number of ways to track your flight status. But as long as you're on Google...

Just in time for road warriors working their way home for the holidays, Google has simplified checking on the status of the plane.

It's as simple as putting in the airline and the flight number in the Google search box and bam, there's the latest on where is Waldo (or the plane rather).

I tried it out last night on a couple of random flights and discovered, for example, AA Flight 588 from Miami to New York was running 16 minutes late (not bad for this time of year or any other time of year for that matter).

To those of you still on the road, Godspeed home to your loved ones.
