This Monday, Google Flights introduced a new feature that provides updated information about the optimal time to buy airline tickets.
Google Flights has introduced a new feature that is useful for travelers who want to save money on airline tickets. The new feature, which was officially announced in a blog post Monday morning, offers Google guidance on when to book the cheapest flight.
This addition complements the price tracking alerts and price guarantee capability already available on the platform. The tech giant has promised new insights into the “cheapest booking time”.
“Searches using reliable trend data now show when prices were typically lowest, so you can book the dates and destination of your choice,” Google said in a blog post.
How does it work?
New knowledge might tell you, for example, that the cheapest time to book similar trips is usually two months before departure, and you’re in that sweet spot right now.
Or you may find that prices tend to drop closer to launch, so you decide to wait before booking. Either way, you can make a decision with more confidence. The tech giant also released its flight booking trends for 2023 based on historical Google Flights prices.
