There is now a user contributed search plugin to track flight status using Berry411 and Flightview. Try "flight: ua007" to track flight number UA007, or "flight:" to get an overall flight congestion map of the US.

Outstanding. Thanks! Extremely useful for the frequent flyer...

You guys are amazing. Going to BB was one of the smartest things I've done in a while. Thanks Philbogle.

Am I blind? I see nothing about how one can add the plug in..

You don't have to add it in; it is part of the Berry 411 service.

I know I am not 100% retarded, in fact I think I am pretty good with this device.

I have version 3.05, no where in the plugins is anything about flight tracking. I type in flight and that does not work

please explain the steps if you can..

thanks..

Well, I installed it this morning and have it working.

I installed it over the air, started it, click the trackwheel and select "Edit Plugins"

Added Flight (it was a guess - nothing more) and then I went back, clicked the wheel and selected Flight.

Got the whole US airspace.

You are the man...Just typed "FLIGHT" into plugins and it worked...

thanks

It isn't exactly intuitively obvious - especially since I downloaded 411 today - but it is very cool.

Agree, it's not something easy to find...

Very nice philbogle! And thanks Soapm for posting the list. Easy, quick download and the flight tracker is great. I'll be able to see where connecting flights are with a few clicks.

philbogle superb man, this is in and of itself sweet.

I typed in "Flightview" and it added it without any problems.

I think that it is pretty cool. Should come in handle when i travel from Philly to Seattle and back, Philly to Chicago and back for two vacation trips.

I've got Error 503 - Service Unavailable on everything I search?? Any idea?

Berry 411 just keeps getting better! Its a must have app!

Cool

This is really helpful and shortcuts a lot of web navigation - the ultimate purpose of Berry411. Thanks!

By the way, you can now search for airlines using either the two letter code or full name (e.g. United Airlines).
