Google Earth Now For Booking Flights

British Airways is now using Google Earth to help book flights. It’s a pretty simple concept – you use Google Earth to zoom to where you want to go and the airline books a ticket to there for you. The only danger I can see is spending all day “flying” around the world trying to see how much it costs to go places…. or just flying around for the fun of it anyways! At least then if you get caught on your office computer playing with Google Earth, you can always just claim you were booking airfare for the *cough**cough* convention/trade show/junket next month for you and Bill in accounting. 🙂
