Updated – Google Flights Comes With Brand New Features
Most of us use a particular website or application to check flights and their status. But only a little know that all these can be checked from Google, without the need for an external app or service. Google Flights, a feature that is found within the Google ecosystem is a service that is dedicated to booking hotels and flights. And now Google has updated the service, bringing in a few new features and goodies.
This service was launched in 2013, and since then though the design has not changed, Google has added a few new nifty and cool features in this new update. So, what is new with this update? First of all, Google Flights sticks to the basics. Flights, their timings, the rates and duration of the flights can all be seen with a single and simple interface.
With this new interface, price variations can be checked, like the price variations with days, months or any certain occasions or festivals. With this info in hand, you can find out the cheapest flight and then book accordingly. You can have access to cheap flights that otherwise would be hard to find.
Practical Features
Google now would also help you to locate cheap flights by color coding prices. Green is the lowest price in the time range, the company or other options. Yellow denotes the typical price bracket, while red stands for prices that are well above average.
And that is not all! Google is also offering options to search for hotel bookings and the lot. It is now possible to monitor price developments for hotels too. You have the options to check for hotels and their availability on the dates that you have opted for. And, to top it off, you can also book accommodations too.
Additional Services
Another neat and nifty feature is entering the city or district where you want to stay, and from there Google Flights can tell you if prices are up or down, which are the cheapest stays and can also give you few practical tips like booking a day earlier or so to get the cheapest deal. Truly, the new Google Flights is now the only service that you need to satisfy all your travel booking needs.
And not just Google Flights, but Google in itself is enough for a good travel and stay. With Google Maps, you can download maps for offline use, as sometimes one might lose a good internet connection overseas. There is also Google Trips which is a tour guide in your pocket. Truly, Google has got it all covered.
