Booking a flight just got more social.
Delta Air Lines unveiled a new feature on their Facebook page Thursday that allows fliers to book air travel entirely through Facebook.Delta is the first airline to launch a tool that let’s its Facebook fans book without ever leaving the site."We’re the First! Now You Can Book Travel on Facebook.",screamed Delta on its blog.
Dubbed the "Ticket Window," the new tool comes just days after the company gave its homepage a thorough redesign as part of what Delta says is a larger plan to improve the online experience for customers.
