Re: Google to launch flight search service soon
#3Curious to see the customer service aspect of the airline booking business.

#4Hipmunk looks similar to ITA Software's flight search tool, so it'll be interesting to see Google's take. If Google builds it, they will come.

I smell fresh acquisitions in the air.

Yeah, Hipmunk is really great. The experience is so good I actually sort of wish I flew more often... or at least had to schedule flights more often.
It'd be cool if they could handle other itinerary and reservation tasks. Though I don't know how they'd necessarily make money like that.

Well, the money's in hotel reservations, so I guess it's in the pipeline.

I tried Hipmunk for the first time last week. I really enjoyed searching flights by "agony". Unfortunately I learned the hard way that all Delta flights should be put at the very end of the list when sorted in such a way.

Exactly, which I'm curious if GOOG will incorporate hotel reservations in it all.
Man Google has it covered. I'm trying hard to think of an online space they're not in.

To paraphrase Steven Tyler, they won't have to come - they're already there.
