Planning your next vacation? Google will show you the cheapest flight available; How to use the feature

Google Flights has added a new feature to help travelers find even cheaper flights. The “Cheaper” tab shows the cheapest options that may require more flexibility, such as using a different booking site or returning to a different airport. While these options may have advantages such as longer layovers or self-transfers, they can save you money.

Google Flights is an online tool that simplifies the process of searching and booking flights. It offers a comprehensive search interface that allows users to compare prices, airlines and flight schedules between various airlines. By providing real-time data and customizable filters, Google Flights helps travelers find the best deals and plan their trips efficiently. In addition, the platform often highlights flexible options, such as alternative airports or stopovers, which can lead to significant savings.
