What's the website where you can track airplanes?

Is there still a website where you can track an airplane?

My parents are flying down from up North and the kids want to watch the progress of their plane.

I know we did this in Feb of 2002 so I'm pretty sure they still have it after 9/11.

Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure if they have live updates, but I usually just check the airlines webpage to see if a flight is on time or delayed.

I don't know where it is, but I know it must still be available because there is a Widget (a little desktop program) for Apple computers running the newest OS that allows you to do that.

I think I found the site you were referring to: http://www.flightview.com/

I had no idea such a website existed, I'll have to use it next time

This particular site actually makes little dots that represent the progress of the plane. It updates every 1/2 hour.

I just don't remember the name of it.

I am making sure their flight is not delayed but my children thought it would be really cool to watch Grandma and Grandpa's flight.

My SO is on the way to seattle right as we speak. I purchased his ticket through travelocity and can watch a little bitty airplane flying across the map of the US. Right now, he is on a layover in Atlanta.

Here is the site we use. My DH works in Africa and the kids like to track his flight when he is on his way home.

Try this one (it's the one the guy on CNN uses) you have to enter a flight number, I think...but it's way cool!
