Best flight search on the internet

It is a dealbreaker for me this difference in price still inside Google Flights, if it was something like: the company changed the price and Google didn't notice yet would be fine but this ruins the experience of searching for a cheap flight.

Pros:

Simple and clean UI

Cons:

On multiple searches/flights it shows a price in the list but when you click it it shows another.

Can we get a CHANGELOG for this release, please?

Wow, we're now adding and up voting Google products now? Sad.
Sam Ayres
@fbara What's sad is hating on devs that clearly put in a lot of hard work to make something cool and intuitive just because they work for a popular company.

@fbara Doesn't matter whether it's a big company, military, startup or just a small kid, if the product is good we should upvote it

@fbara Indeed it is really a awesome tool for finding flights, It is beautifully explained here https://ca-political.com/google-...

Just tried it to book a flight and it's actually less useful than it was before. Mainly, it doesn't show you other nearby airports options for the return leg of a roundtrip flight anymore (Kayak's 'hacked fares')... Some of us who will wander a metro area with multiple airports do like the option.

Wait, Amazon Prime Flights… is not out by now… is Jeff getting older?

Google Flights is amazing! It replaced primarily Kayak and SkyScanner for me. The main reason I started using it is that when you click calendar view it is already pre-populated with lowest price each day, which lets you very quickly scan to the cheapest days to fly where you want to go. On Kayak for example, their month search requires you state how many nights (what if I'm flexible) and limits you to a 4 week window. Google's approach is much more powerful. The second reason I switched is the feature to set travel dates and then browse the world map for cheapest places to go on those dates. The third reason I switched is that Google Flights is easily the fastest flight search option. That said, the only thing new I notice is the material design (which looks great) - so I'm not sure if that alone calls for a re-Hunt.

Does it only check directly with the airlines? No middleman's?

@zappe I tried it yesterday and they check with middleman's too. They forwarded me to buy tickets from expedia

Overall, I think Google does a remarkable job at representing a key user problem when researching flights -- users are often left to question, "Is this really the best deal? Can I do better than this price?"

I think those sentiments are representative of a lack of trust that exists between users and flight-booking / travel websites, and Google makes up for that because of (1) the brand and (2) the easy and straightforward UI.

There is still a need, though, for a different "version" of flight browsing, which has more to do with an exploratory "I-don't-know-where-to-go-or-when-yet" mentality, which is more aspirational than anything else. Additionally, it could do a little bit better with sharing data trends/flight insights (when to buy) at first glance instead of being 1-click away (less discoverable for a novice user).

With all the above said, this is my new go-to app for flights! 😅

Pros:

• Fast

• Trustworthy (more on this below)

• Easy UI

Cons:

• A little harder to do open-ended queries

• Not as optimal for booking vacations (exploratory)

• Flight insights are less discoverable

Watch out Skyscanner

@wadim_dominik_grasza My thoughts as soon as I went in and have a look. On the plus side google sometimes don't keep things forever, they experiment, play and then discard.

This has been out forever?

Hope for the best from Google.

the table view with prices is just superb!

It actually looks really good. I like the map view. It reminds me a bit of AirBnB when scrolling in and out of locations and the results of accommodation changes, but in this case it's all the different destinations you can fly to and the results on the left change on the fly as you scroll in and out. It works very well. I wonder, does Google earn revenue from this product?

@productpearson They do, a commission from airlines via an affiliation link

I wish I could perform advanced searches are in matrix.

Pros:

- fast

- powerful

- supports lots of companies

Cons:

- not powerful as matrix (owned by google)

Leon Truong
not the best product. - Pros - quick and easy. - Cons - Not always the best price.
Anca Bundaru

it's faster than other flight search engines

Pros:

I like the look & feel, makes price comparison easy, no need to scroll below the fold to access the recommendations

Cons:

lack of promotions, deals, incentives

This tool will work worldwide, for example at Armenia?
