Cortana Flight Schedule

Microsoft's digital voice assistant is getting another update. Cortana will now be able to track flight stauts, weather conditions of your destination based on your email.


Cortana will ask if you need to keep a track of your next flight as soon as a travel/flight related mail arrives in your inbox. She will mark it in her notebook, and then you can simply reference them by calling out "Hey Cortana! Show my flights." You can just head over to Cortana -> Cortana's Notebook -> Interests and then Add Travel-> Trip Planner and you are all set.

You will also be prompted about check-in times, weather updates and traffic on your way to the airport. Cortana will also show you a map of the airport, so its easy to find baggage check-in. There's more, if you are travelling abroad then Cortana will tap into a currency convertor to help you out.
