British Airways Teams Up with Google Earth

British Airways and Google are teaming up to make holiday preparation even easier, by launching a new interactive service through the airline´s website, ba.com.

To celebrate its “World Offers” fare sale with more than 3 million seats available, the airline will feature Google Earth satellite technology on ba.com, allowing travelers to zoom in on their destination of choice as they take advantage of the excellent discounts available on flights and hotels.

British Airways has created special layers of information for Google Earth to enable visitors to ba.com to see popular tourist hotspots and their proximity to their chosen hotel –the ultimate planning tool for holidaymakers- so they can organize their itinerary before they arrive.

The Google Earth layer is a further extension to ba.com´s host of holiday planning tools such as the travel checklist and online check-in, all aimed at enabling travelers to prepare for their trip in advance and arrive at the airport relaxed and ready to fly.
