View(s):A new initiative by Singapore Airlines (SIA) has led to its website bookings being integrated with Google Now, according to an international announcement by Singapore’s national air carrier.
Elaborating further, the announcement also revealed; “Google Now will show you what the weather will be like at your travel destination even before your flight departure. This feature is available via the Google Search app for iOS devices on Apple’s App Store, and is built into Android 4.1+ devices, as part of the Google Search experience”.
Additionally noted; “To activate Google Now on iOS devices, users only need to install the Google Search App and log in with their Google account. No installation is required for Android devices. Singapore Airlines customers who make a booking through www.singaporeair.com and indicate their Gmail address in the booking will be able to view travel information in Google Now several hours before their flight departure. Information includes updates on their flight schedule, and the airport terminal and departure gate for their flight. This information is automatically updated in Google Now”.
Quoted in SIA’s statement, the airline’s Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing Chin Yau Seng indicated; “We are constantly seeking opportunities to improve our customers’ travel experience with us. The integration of our website with Google Now will reduce the hassle of having to remember important travel information and provide customers with relevant information about their destinations”.
