The Flights Channel

The Flights channel (Figure 35 ) enables you to get departure and arrival information for airline flights. Enter search criteria in the top of the window and Sherlock displays results from a database of flights. This is handy for checking the status of a flight you think might be delayedit could prevent you from waiting longer than you need to at the airport!
