commercial flight tracking

[welle]

A simple request:

If I want to track Northwest flight 1, it would be convenient if I could simply type NWA1 into the flight number box, rather than typing enough of the name Northwest into the “Enter Airline Name Here” box so that it is recognized, followed by clicking on the correct name, followed by entering the number 1 in the flight number box.

Thank you for putting together a great website!

You can. Simply type “NWA1” into the “Flight/Tail #” text box, NOT the “Flight Number” text box. (That seems to get overlooked a lot)

Thanks, that works.

Perhaps some confusion could be avoided if “NWA1” worked in both boxes, but this is good enough.
