3 Google Search features to find hotels, book flights, and travel better | Digit

Google has announced a bunch of new Search features that are aimed at helping its users travel better. This includes new tools to get the best hotel and flight deals, as well as discover things to do on the trip. 

1. Price guarantee on booking a flight from Google Search

First of all, this is currently available in the US only. That is you need to have a US billing address as well as that the deal is applicable on flights booked from a US airport. But, when it does make its way to other markets like India, here’s what to expect: 

When you browse flights on Google Flights, alongside some flight entries, you’ll see a shield icon with a dollar sign. Google assures to pay you money if the price of these flights goes down. As soon as you book any of these flights, the web giant tracks the price of that flight every day until departure. And if the price drops in this duration, it will pay you the difference. 

2. Swipe through hotels 

Booking the flight is only one part of the tour plan. You need to book hotels and to make the process simpler, Google has rehauled the interface like Stories, a familiar UI for most social media users these days.

Through simple swipes and taps, you can browse hotels, read in detail about them or grab a summary, and save the hotel you like. 

3. Book tour guides

Now when you look for a place of attraction or search about your travel destination in general, Google Search will bring up the local guides with their plans and pricing. 

All of these new Google Search features should help you better plan and have a comfortable travel experience.
