Mac OS X El Capitan: Check flight status - how it works

In this practical tip, we will explain how to check the flight status under Mac OS X El Capitan. You can currently use the new feature in the Notes app. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Spotlight search yet.

Mac OS X El Capitan: Check flight status using the Notes app

You can find out the flight status of a flight using the Notes app.

1. Open the "Notes" app and enter the abbreviation of the airline.
2. Here you can enter the abbreviated name of the airline (e.g. LH for Lufthansa) or the full name, followed by the flight number.
3. If you move the mouse pointer over this text, the flight will be recognized automatically.
4. In a small window with a map, various information about the flight is now displayed, including the current "status" and the arrival time.
5. Incidentally, this function also works under IOS 9. Here, too, you can access flight information directly from the airline and flight number in the Notes app.
