Delta Airlines just launched their “Ticket Window” Facebook application, allowing users to find, book and share flights with friends without ever leaving Facebook.  Powered by Alvenda, the application is the first to allow users to book a flight within Facebook without being directed to an outside site. Delta’s Ticket Window is located on Delta’s Facebook page under the “Book a Trip” tab, but Delta hopes to eventually expand it to banner ads.

Although Delta wasn’t an early adopter of social media like Southwest or JetBlue, it appears that they are beginning to realize the immense opportunities that social media presents. 



Usage statistics from Delta’s Wi-Fi network show that Facebook is the most trafficked website in-flight. Through applications like the Ticket Window, Delta is hoping to take advantage of this large audience by making it easy for customers to transact and make travel adjustments in flight via Facebook.

We 'Like' this move. What do you think? Would you book a flight on Facebook?
