A new application allowing users to track the status of their friend’s flights has been released on popular social networking website Facebook. The application uses a tracking system developed by an airline and travel information service, users can now share flight status and location with their friends via their profile pages.

Users now have access to a range of information regarding their flight – including airport and weather reports, departure and arrival times and even real-time flight tracking – sent directly to their pages in order to keep track of details leading up to their holidays.

There are a range of different notification options available to the user, including status alert on their flights – including departure and arrival times – which can be modified using options. Using a Google map application, which refreshes automatically as the flight progresses, users can now follow the progress of their friend’s flights.

Search engines are not made to find the cheapest flights. The cheapest flights will only be found looking at the offers that every specific company has in place in their Hot Deals section or at bidding places such as SkyAuction.

I know it is not the kind of start you were expecting from an article where I am supposed to promote a search engine, but I just want to be sincere with you. This is not the best solution.

Having this clarified, for the ones that really have no time and want to find a quick alternative to buy their flights in a way that probably is not the cheapest but can find a more or less good deal in very few seconds, I must say that it exist a search engine that puts together the other search engines plus all the existing important airline companies.
