How to know the status of your flight?
by TM Maria Be a king in your own kingdomTo today to say that Google knows everything is a risky
thing, but we only stayed ... half way? of what really happens.
With its diverse search tools and software platforms, this
true "monster" of the technological industry covers the most varied
aspects of our life, being able, for example, to find restaurants near where we
are and see the comments that other diners have dedicated to the establishment
to get an idea of whether we should eat there or not, until we find a hotel
in the destination of our trips.
With the large volume of traffic that move air travel, it is
not uncommon that Google has actively sought ways to get into the market for
this type of information that have been exploiting various sites web over
recent years.
To know the information about our flight, if it arrives on
time or is suffering a delay, we will only need to know your flight number and
enter it directly in the search engine.
This code consists of two or three letters that indicate the
company followed by between two and four numbers. Where do we find it? In our
ticket, in the reservation document ... this is the same code by which we must
find our flight in the information panels of the airport, which will allow us
to recognize our airplane in the public address announcements, and that will
identify the door by which we will have to embark.
For example, let's imagine that we fly from Buenos Aires to
Barcelona on flight ARG1161 of the Aerolineas Argentines Company. To know the
flight data thanks to Google, we only have to enter the flight number ARG1161
and press the return key or the search button.
What information does this service present on screen? Well
apart from the most obvious as the departure time and the arrival time, it does
it in each one of them at the time of the respective airport, it indicates
quickly and at a glance if it arrives on time or not, and how much it needs to
reach destination.
Even, and at the moment in which this information is
available, it indicates to us the terminal and door through which the
passengers will leave.
Some tips on the
functionality of knowing the status of a flight
We must be aware that, even if the information
functionalities are automated, it is more than likely that at some point the
flight information has passed through human hands, and this means that there
may be an error or it may not have been updated in time. So, I recommend taking
this functionality of Google as a source to know the status of our flight, but
not the only one.
Let us know how to combine the information that Google gives
us with other sources, such as the onsite information that they offer us from
the same airport, as well as other websites such as flightradar24.
This functionality of Google is not only useful for those
who have to take a flight, but also for those waiting at the airport for the
arrival of family and friends, as it is even possible that the information
(such as possible delays suffered) arrive before through the computer platform
that is not shown through the airport screens.
