Google Now brings SIA flight informatio­n to your fingertips

-

Imagine having easy access to the latest informatio­n on your upcoming travel, such as your flight status, and traffic and weather conditions for your destinatio­n.

This is now possible with an initiative by Singapore Airlines to integrate website bookings with Google Now. Google Now provides you with the right informatio­n at the right time. For instance, 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. 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. “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,” said SIA’s Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing, Chin Yau Seng.
