Press Announcement:
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 (SIA) 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.
SIA
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 for Sales
and Marketing, Mr. Chin Yau Seng.
