Google Launches “Flight Deals” on Google Flights
Google has unveiled Flight Deals, an AI-powered flight search tool that designed to help users find affordable airfare through simple, natural-language searches.
Ideal for those who are flexible about timing or destination, this tool lets you describe your ideal trip much like talking to a friend and delivers relevant flight deals automatically.
Key Points
Conversational search: Instead of selecting dates, airports, and filters, you can input phrases like “week-long trip this winter to a food-loving city, nonstop only” or “mountains and great food in the spring”, and the AI generates matching deals.
Smart ranking: Results are presented based on potential savings and then by lowest price, helping you spot the best deal quickly.
Exclude basic economy: For more comfort and flexibility, users in the U.S. and Canada can choose to filter out cheaper basic economy fares that often restrict carry-on baggage, seat selection, and change options.
Inspiration from AI: Instead of serving the usual popular destinations, the tool can suggest lesser-known places—a small-town European getaway or hidden trail based on your description, which adds a fun twist to trip planning.
Defaults and filters: If no dates are mentioned, Flight Deals assumes flights within the next six months. You can still adjust filters like number of stops or preferred airlines.
How It Works
Flight Deals is built into Google Flights, preserving the classic interface while providing a conversational option.
Users can access it from the top-left menu or a specific Flight Deals page.
Powered by Gemini AI (specifically version 2.5), Flight Deals interprets conversational queries and taps into real-time flight data from hundreds of airlines and booking sites.
It functions like a travel-savvy assistant, offering suggestions based on trip preferences such as ambiance, schedule, and interests but currently doesn’t support complex itineraries like multi-city trips or large group bookings.
Availability
This feature is currently rolling out in beta in the U.S., Canada, and India, and requires no opt-in if available in your region, it appears in the Google Flights menu or via a dedicated Flight Deals page.
