Google Now updated with alternate flight recommendations for delayed travelers

If you frequently travel, then you know that airports can be a mess. You arrive a couple hours before your flight to make it through an airline’s grueling check-in process, only to find out your flight has been delayed. Now playing the waiting game, you sit around wondering if it’ll be minutes or hours before you board your flight. Apparently Google is aware of this type of situation and the company has updated its Google Now platform with new features for globetrotters.

If you find yourself in a jam, Mountain View’s personal assistant software will update your travel cards with alternative flights. And if your traveling methods are a bit more down-to-earth, Google Now will generate cards for trips made by bus or train based on reservations found in your Gmail account.
