The holiday season is upon us, and we know that
many amongst you are traveling to be with family and friends. To
make sure you spend more time celebrating and less time waiting at
the airport, we're introducing a new flight status feature that
we hope will make your travels easier.
For the latest information on a flight's status, simply search
for an airline and flight number, and the first result will tell
you whether your flight is on time or delayed as well as the
estimated departure and arrival times. Here's a quick example
for a specific American Airlines flight:
onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

Hopefully this makes your makes your travels a little smoother.
Happy holidays from the Google Search team.
P.S. We're still working on building a search feature that will
find your lost luggage

The holiday season is a time for reuniting with friends and family,
reveling in

id="s7x2" >stories and sentimentalities, cozying up to a cup of
warm cocoa, listening to a fire slowly pop and fizzle. It's a
time when we ease ourselves out of our

have a moment to share our joys with those who are nearest to us.
And the season affords us a unique opportunity to step back and
empathize with people who face hardships

This season, Googlers everywhere are not only celebrating the joys
of the holidays; quite a few of us have joined together to give
back to our

id="jx0r" >local communities. Whether it's helping kids
craft public service announcements, contributing to

id="tztk" >toy drives, gathering donations for food banks,
working with high schoolers on their college apps, writing get-well
cards for sick children, or pitting teams of chefs against one
another for charity, Googlers have made it a point to get
creative.
We've assembled pictures from these events in this album, and
encourage you

community.
