Everyday it is possible to do things with apps once thought to be impossible. One such thing is booking flights straight out of an app without even needing to go to a web browser. Multiple airlines now feature apps with such capabilities.
I took some time to explore apps for booking tickets for flights. After a bit of searching I found that there is a small group of such apps. Both Sourhwest Airlines and Continental Airlines are among this group of companies trying to keep up with the times. I tested both apps, which are available for free, and you can indeed book tickets straight from the mobile device being used. They are both easy to follow step by step apps leading to eventually entering payment information and booking the tickets. All of this was done straight from the app without having to use a web browser to complete the transaction.
I also tried out apps that were not directly related to an airline but found that when trying to actually book the ticket you are linked up to the companies website instead of using the app to complete the transaction.
Below is a slideshow of screenshots from the Continental and Southwest apps.
