Google Enables Web Users to Search, Shop for Travel

Google is experimenting with travel search and comparison shopping of sorts. The model appears to resemble Travelzoo´s Super Search and Smarter Living´s Booking Buddy, both of which prompt users to select advertisers´ flight-search engines one-at-a-time instead of running simultaneous comparisons.

Google´s flight-search product works in the standard Google search box. If you enter two airport codes or cities into the Google search box, the results include two boxes to manipulate desired flight dates.
