Google said Google Wallet will let travelers join airline frequent flyer programs directly from a boarding pass, targeting sign-ups at the moment users are most likely to enroll.
Updated Auto Linked Passes will automatically add related travel items to Wallet, aiming to reduce airport friction by bundling boarding passes, baggage tags and linked offers.
