Google Flight Status

]]> If you are departing or going to go pick someone up you can Google their flight and find out if it is on time. Go to Google and search for an airline and flight number. The top result will tell you whether your flight is on time or delayed as well as the estimated departure and arrival times.

This could be really interesting if we get Wi-Fi while on-board.

Traveling Safely with Batteries – New Rules

]]> We start off 2008 with new rules for traveling safely with batteries.  From Safetravel.dot.gov

    • Spare batteries are the batteries you carry separately from the devices they power. When batteries are installed in a device, they are not considered spare batteries.
    • You may not pack a spare lithium battery in your checked baggage
    • You may bring spare lithium batteries with you in carry-on baggage – see our spare battery tips and how-to sections to find out how to pack spare batteries safely!
    • Even though we recommend carrying your devices with you in carry-on baggage as well, if you must bring one in checked baggage, you may check it with the batteries installed.

There is a handy PDF you can download as well: Batteries_flyer.pdf
