Google travel sneaks into search results

Google is apparently trying to poach some pennies out of the travel market. Entering a pair of cities in a Google search now outputs a small search box with links to the big online travel agencies. (pictured above) Clicking the default link sends you to Expedia.

You can also use airport codes for North American destinations. You’ll need to spell out the name of the international destination city.

Maybe this is old news, but it’s new to me.

But I’d still stick with the aggregators like Kayak, as reviewed here. You’ll get a much better overview of the fares available.

The “D” in “DC-9″ stands for “delay” »
