How to Track Flights in Safari

  • Open Safari.
  • At the top, type in the airline and flight number. For example, “Southwest 1245.”
  • You don’t even need to tap Go; at the very top you’ll see the flight card with some basic details.

It’s pretty incredible how much information you can see, including a map of the flight path and where the plane currently is, as well as departure and arrival time, terminal and gate, and even whether it’s running early, late, or on time.
