Expanded Travel Planning in AI Mode
Google has introduced three new travel planning features to its AI Mode in Search. These updates aim to integrate more comprehensive travel logistics directly into the AI chat interface, allowing users to plan and book trips without leaving the Search environment.
The new functionalities include flight price tracking, the option to view flight and hotel costs in loyalty points or miles, and direct hotel booking capabilities.
Flight Price Tracking and Alerts
The popular flight price tracking feature from Google Flights has been integrated directly into AI Mode. Users can describe their desired destination and travel dates, and AI Mode will present flight options and prices from over 300 partner airlines and travel sites.
Users can then request AI Mode to track these prices and will receive email notifications if prices change for their specified route and dates. This feature is available in over 180 countries/territories where AI Mode is active, excluding the European Economic Area.
Points and Miles Integration
AI Mode now allows users to view the cost of flights and hotels in loyalty points or miles. This feature supports partners such as Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, American Airlines, Choice Hotels International, Hilton, and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts at launch.
Additional support for Accor, Flying Blue, Hyatt, LATAM Airlines, and Lufthansa Group is planned for the coming weeks. Users can ask AI Mode to display costs in reward points for hotels or miles for flights.
Direct Booking Capabilities
Beyond planning, AI Mode now facilitates the booking process. Users can build a full itinerary within the AI interface and then proceed to purchase tickets through the airline's website or their preferred booking platform. This aims to streamline the transition from planning to booking within a single interface.
