Google Joins Microsoft in Showing Flight Schedule Information In Search Results

Google Added Air Flight Scheduling Information To Google Search Results

The flight information comes less than two months after Google closed its $700 million acquisition of ITA Software, which specializes in organizing airline data, including flight times, availability and prices.
The deal raised eyebrows among some members of the travel industry and required regulatory review.

We will see that Google is now making a bigger play in the travel space. Integrating the airline schedules into search results and possibly soon to be offering travel offers and scheduling options for travelers.

You can see the results in this example

traveling from portland, OR to Burbank, CA you will only see direct non-stop flights. While there are many other flights available that are 1-2 stop with change of plane.
