Emirates airline has started to roll-out ‘Google Now’ cards for their passengers who book via Emirates.com. Google Now is like a smart personal assistant, giving users exactly the travel information they need with minimum effort. The app reminds passengers of their upcoming flight, providing flight times and departure terminal. It will also give passengers relevant information on their destination, for example local weather conditions, currency, local landmarks, accommodation and attractions.
Emirates is the first airline in the Middle East North Africa region to adopt this technology, the airliner said in a statement yesterday.
A feature of the Google search app is available and fully integrated for Android (devices running Android 4.1 and above) and iOS (iPhones and iPads).
Google Now is available immediately for Emirates passengers who book on Emirates.com, provided they have downloaded the appropriate version of the app for their smartphone and have a Gmail account.
