Google has unveiled Flight Deals, a new AI-driven tool designed to help travellers quickly find the best flight fares. The AI tool has been integrated into Google Flights, Google’s flight search platform for users to compare prices and book tickets directly with airlines or through travel partners. Flight Deals is aimed at travellers prioritising savings.

“Flight Deals is designed for flexible travellers whose number one goal is saving money on their next trip,” Google said in a blog post.

Rather than manually experimenting with dates, destinations, and filters, users can simply describe their travel plans conversationally and Flight Deals will handle the rest.

Explaining this in the blog post, Google wrote, “Instead of playing with different dates, destinations and filters to uncover the best deals, you can just describe when, where and how you’d like to travel — as though you’re talking to a friend — and Flight Deals will take care of the rest.”

The feature is launching in beta and will be available next week in India, the United States, and Canada.

Users can access it by visiting Google Flights and selecting the menu in the top-left corner. Google clarified that the standard Google Flights interface will remain active alongside Flight Deals.

Additionally, the company is developing a filter to exclude economy-class tickets for trips within the US and Canada.

How Google’s Flight Deals Work?

Powered by Google’s advanced AI (the exact model was not disclosed), Flight Deals can interpret nuanced travel requests and match them with suitable destinations. This allows users to enter flexible prompts such as “week-long trip this winter to a city with great food, nonstop only” or “10-day ski trip to a world-class resort with fresh powder.”

Flight Deals then uses real-time Google Flights data to deliver “relevant, up-to-date options from hundreds of airlines and booking sites.”

According to Google, the tool highlights “the best bargains available that match your search, including destinations you may not have previously considered.”
