I purchased a plane ticket recently through Google's system. It was an efficient and pleasant process and they had my card on file already.

It allowed me to bypass the multiple nag screens and upsell screens that you have to usually have to navigate when purchasing (especially from budget carriers).

If they do this for other products, I can see it catching on.



It’s now officially a business-added service to skip the nag screens...

Until they bankrupt the competition. Then, Google becomes them.


Why is this downvoted? Google didn't start out with half a dozen paid search results mimicking the look of native search results at the top of their pages.


The competition is a click away.
