Does Google Really Have Better Flight Stats?

Google has announced that they now provide flight stats right on the search pages.

For the latest information on a flight's status, simply search for an airline and flight number, and the first result will tell you whether your flight is on time or delayed as well as the estimated departure and arrival times.

This is pretty cool, actually. Let's compare this to other flight status tracking on the other big three search engines.

First, the Google stats:

The results are right on the page.

On the other hand, Yahoo has stats but you have to go to another site to get them.

And Ask.com is the same way:

MSN doesn't even have flight tracking:

Flight Tracking (?) on MSN

(Please don't email those people.)

So, what do you think? Who has the best flight stats?

Oh, and of course, if you wanted some real time flight tracking, there are alternatives as presented by Gary Price, but they are not available within the search engines themselves... for now.
