According to a report, yesterday search giant Google launched Flight Search tool for Indian Internet users. For the feature it has roped in Goibibo as partner. Flight Search will help users to search for flights within Google, as well as compare and book flights on mobile devices. Users can make use of this tool to see the price and duration of flights based immediately on users’ preferences and previous searches. Just a user has to enter the departure and destination cities and he/she will get all flight details.
Until now, these travel portals would get queries from searches conducted on Google. But now Google will make use of this data for Flight Search.
When one click on the departure date field, a calendar with the lowest fares for the route highlighted for each day can be seen. User can also use the lowest fares graph below the calendar to see how prices may vary based on the season, holidays or other events. Scrolling through a couple of months quickly shows you when it’s a best time to fly.
Founder and CEO, Ashish Kashyap, Ibibo Group, the parent company of Goibibo, said, “Goibibo.com is the first OTA (Online Travel Agent) in India to partner with Google for Flight Search. This is in line with our philosophy and core differentiation of delivering the fastest booking experience to our travellers.”
