AdWords lets you target over 350 airports by location which I think is a really cool way, especially around the holidays, to reach travelers.

I think this is a great opportunity for obvious clients such as restaurants, hotels, car rentals, and the like. But why stop there?

Some other applications I have thought of are:

- Games: Bored kids (and parents!) could use something to kill time while waiting for a flight.

- Luggage: A great time to put a new product in front of a potential customer is while he is dragging around that old beat up suitcase he has been meaning to replace.

- Languages: Online translators and language learning products will move to the forefront of a traveler's mind once he arrives in a country where he does not speak the native tongue.

- Events: Let people know what's going on nearby! Promote special events and local sight-seeing destinations directly to new arrivals who are looking for some fun.

Your turn to add to the list!

That is a great tool. I imagine Google will extrapolate and do a rinse and repeat for other venues.

I was thinking along the same lines while reading the description. Definitely pretty neat though.

This is a real great targeting feature whith many possible ad on feauture in the future I hope.

Even for restaurants in the airports themselves. Can you imagine seeing an ad with coupons for a specific restaurant while waiting during a layover? I would certainly be more likely to spend my money there!

I like that you brought this capability to everyone's attention, Paul. Nearby events and restaurants especially seem like great things to target on an airline/airport's site.

intriguing.... great insight Paul on other uses for this targeting. I think that Matt is right on with google taking even further...geographic and behavior targeting combined.

If I were Google, I would target Movie theaters. People seem to use their phone there more than anywhere else. lol.
