Even when you can't communicate with your friend, business associate or loved one who is flying, you can tell exactly where his flight is with your computer by visiting a flight-tracking website. A number of these sites are available and provide real-time information, as well as up-to-the-minute arrival and departure details. The flight-tracking website takes into account any airport delays or air traffic congestion delays. This way, you'll have an accurate idea of when a passenger should be arriving at his destination.
Access the Internet, and visit a flight-tracking site, such as flightstats.com.
Enter the airline name or code in the space provided.
Scroll to the correct departure date.
Enter the flight number you want to track.
Enter the name of the airport the plane departed from and the destination airport if you don't know the flight number. This takes you to some options you can choose from.
Go to the map that pops up, showing you where, in real time, the flight is.
