Google Shortcuts – A Traveler's Best Friend

| January 17, 2008 | 0 Comments

PDA Use While TravelingWe at WickedGoodTravelTips.com have been hooked on Google travel shortcuts since we discovered them last year. You’ll be amazed at the information you can get with just a few key strokes. Did you know you can check your flight status by entering the flight number in the Google search box? Give this a try: Enter AA123 in the Google search box and the flight status for American Airlines flight #123 will pop right up. (Yes, we all wish we were on that flight to Hawaii!) But that’s just the beginning – give these other travel shortcuts a try:
