Purchase flights on Facebook with Delta

Posted on Aug 12, 2010 in Facebook, Social Media

You can purchase flowers on Facebook and now you can book a flight. Delta Air Lines has launched an application on their Facebook Page that allows you to find, book, and share flights (and you don’t have to leave Facebook).

The app, called The Delta Ticket Window, aims to keep users on the Delta Facebook Page for the entire booking process. I played around with the app a little and it works nicely. As far as I’m aware, it’s the first airline to isolate the booking process inside a Facebook Page.

I was surprised to see that the Delta Facebook Page has little over 34,000 fans. I imagine this new feature will help increase their fan base. It will be interesting to see how many users actually use this app to book their travel and share with their network of friends. What do you think of this app? Would you book a flight on Facebook?
