Google to launch flight search service soon

I really hope they have smart combinatoric search. I want to be able to search flexible day, flexible airport, multi-leg world travel trips without making my own spreadsheet. Some services do flexible day, some do flexible airport, but I haven't found any that provide these with a multi-leg itinerary. I'm sure this is due to the computational complexity, but Google could handle it.

Wow. This is going to be interesting. Adioso.com (YC) is an amazing site, Google are going to have to try pretty hard to beat them for Australia, considering what Adioso.com can do without buying out a massive company.

Hipmunk looks similar to ITA Software's flight search tool, so it'll be interesting to see Google's take. If Google builds it, they will come.

I wonder if it will have Google+ integration from day one. Planning vacations together, or making sure you're never in the same town as someone? Maybe timing your visit to coincide with a candidate's campaign, or "facilitating serendipity" with people who will be at your destination at the same time. With circles and sparks, this could get real interesting....

Curious to see the customer service aspect of the airline booking business.

Ah... but would it be better than Hipmunk?

Google might acquire Hipmunk which already uses GWT.
