Google Flights has rolled out new tools to help travelers find the best flight deals, just in time for a year filled with long weekends and holiday travel.

Insights Provide Guidance on Best Booking Times

One of the most useful additions is upgraded insights that analyze historical pricing data. When searching for flights, you’ll now see whether current fares are low, typical or high compared to averages for that route. Google Flights will also forecast the cheapest booking window for your travel dates and destination.

This information empowers you to book confidently knowing you’re getting a good deal, or hold off if prices are likely to drop.

Price Tracking Notifies You of Fare Drops

For flexible travelers, turn on price tracking to have Google Flights monitor fares and alert you if prices fall significantly. You can track prices for specific travel dates or get notified of any major deals in the next 3-6 months. With Google keeping an eye out, you don’t have to constantly re-check prices.

Book with Confidence Using Price Guarantee

Some flight results will display a price guarantee badge, meaning Google is highly confident that the fare won’t decrease further. If you book one of these flights and the price drops, Google will refund the difference. This guarantee is currently being piloted for select Book on Google flights from the U.S.

Use Booking Trends to Snag Deals

Google Flights analyzed historical data to determine the best times to book for popular routes in 2023:
