Google Takes to the Air
March 9, 2015
There are numerous Web sites that specialize in tracking down the best price for flights an even applications that aggregate information from these multiple sites. Do we really need another one? Google certainly thinks so, because Slashgear reports “Google Officially Launches Flights,Their Search-Friendly Travel Tool.” Google wants to increase their Web traffic and profit in the travel sector. With its new Flights search tool, users can search the best flight prices without even needing to know where you’re going.
One of Google’s main goals with Flights to help people with their travel plans. The idea is based of the scenario that when a person wants to travel, cost is usually the biggest factor in deciding where they go. Flights helps users track down a great deal on a flight and offers search filters to narrow the field: price range, limiting the layovers, and destinations.
There are still a few bugs, as to be expected in a new tool:
“Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work with any airline just yet, so if you’ve got loyalty points your squirreling away — you might not be able to earn more with Flights. Still, for the quick getaway or open-ended vacation, Flights is at least another tool to have handy.”
