New airline ticket search from Google
2011-09-14
Google is raising the standard of its search results for airplane tickets. The Net search leader's revised approach to airline ticket questions appeared Tues. in a recently opened "flights" section of Google.com. It provided the 1st glance at how Google intends to make use of the tools it picked up from its $676 million acquisition of leading airline fare tracker ITA Software. The deal raised fears that Google would use its power to suppress competition in the web travel sector, prompting the Justice Office to demand a collection of concessions before approving the purchase in April. The flights section incorporates a map showing the round-trip cost to fly to a few towns from where a search request is being made.
