At CES 2019, Google bestowed its voice-based digital assistant with a couple of new features that are expected to come in handy for business travelers and holiday-makers.
First off, Google Assistant users will soon be able to check-in to their flight, and save and retrieve their boarding pass with the Google Assistant on their Android or iOS smartphone.
US residents traveling domestically on United Airlines will also get a notification on their phone to remind them that check-in is available. Users will also be able to check-in via voice-command by saying “Hey Google, check in to my flight”.
Users will now also be able to book a room via voice command with Google Assistant. According to Google, “You could say, ‘Hey Google, I’d like to book the Cambria Hotel in New York on January 12th’ to view availability, different pricing options and then easily reserve a room using your existing Google Pay credentials”.
