Google Flights not only automatically organises results based on “Best flights,” considering factors like price, duration, and time of day, but also provides a range of tools to enhance your booking experience. Utilising the price graph, users can gauge whether current prices for their selected route are low, typical, or high compared to historical averages. For those with flexible travel dates, the Price graph feature enables an exploration of fare trends by month or week, with the option to activate flight and price tracking.
Turn on price tracking
Enabling price tracking becomes particularly advantageous if you prefer to wait for potential fare reductions before finalising your booking. This feature notifies you of significant price drops, and you can tailor tracking to specific dates, such as your child’s school vacations or an upcoming long weekend. Alternatively, for greater flexibility, activate “Any dates” price tracking to receive alerts about deals spanning the next three to six months. Ensure you’re logged into your Google account to enable these tracking features, and explore the ‘Date Grid’ for a comprehensive view of prices based on specific dates.
Use filters
Further enhancing your search, Google Flights offers an array of filters across various categories. These filters allow you to refine your options based on factors such as the number of stops, preferred airlines, baggage allowances, time of day, connecting airports, and overall duration. By leveraging these tools, you can navigate the complexities of flight options effortlessly, ultimately securing the best possible deal for your travel plans.
