Google is positioning itself as the top source for finding the best deals on air travel and the company is now upping the ante with the latest feature for Flights which offers the "Cheapest" tab available for all. This new tab will prioritize the most affordable airfares that it can find on the web, making it easier for users to choose the lowest-priced tickets available to buy.
There are different methods for finding the best and most ideal plane tickets for the public, but Google Flights is looking to offer the most suitable one for its users with its new search capabilities.
The latest blog post from Google announced the arrival of Flights' new tab which features the "Cheapest" options it can find on the internet, reinforcing its online aggregator tool with more ways to categorize information. The company wants flyers to get more experiences from using its tool to search for the most affordable tickets available online, categorizing the results in this new tab.
According to Google, while Flights already offer cheap results when users search for destinations, it offers a mix of information that considers both price and convenience when it does its service.
Google Flights will now have two tabs when users enter the trip details and use the tool to search for plane tickets, with Best using its previous algorithm that offers mixed results, and Cheapest which will prioritize saving more money than comfort.
It was revealed by Google that there are plenty of factors where Flights will help in finding the cheapest seats for one's search, and the company cited that its tool can find more affordable tickets by having users fly to a different airport in the same city.
Additionally, Google can also recommend third-party booking platforms which may have the lowest prices among all the search results, prioritizing it over direct results from airline companies.
Google has established itself as one of the most popular and reliable search engines in the world, and it brought its expertise in the tech world to the aviation industry with its introduction of Flights. And while Google Flights is not a third-party service, its aggregated flight search experience is looking to give users what best suits their needs in booking their next plane tickets.
The internet company's flight search services are not exclusive to finding the top results for cheap or convenient airfares, with Google Flights also introducing nifty features that may help the overall travel experience. The Mountain View-based tech giant also introduced a way for users to know relevant information regarding in-seat power outlets, in-flight Wi-Fi availability, legroom space, and more.
While Google Flights is only a search experience, contrary to some beliefs that it is a third-party platform, it is still regarded as one of the top services available to find the best airfare and value, having many recommendations on TikTok and other platforms. The latest feature on Google Flights can now give users the "Cheapest" results in its dedicated tab, focusing on the lowest prices it can find on the web.
