There are hundreds of different flight search and comparison sites, but lately, Google Flights has been stepping up to the mark. Previously, Google Flights was something I only used to check the distance and length of flights, it was a quick way to get generic route information, but for the last year or so, I\u2019ve been booking all of my flights through Google\u2019s flight search engine.<\/p>\n
It can be a great place to score a bargain flight, but if you make any wrong moves, you\u2019ll send the price skyrocketing. So in this article you\u2019ll find travel hacks that will help you find flights for the best possible price, but first, let\u2019s take a look at why Google Flights should be your first port of call when booking your travel.<\/p>\n
Why Use Google Flights?<\/strong><\/h1>\n
Everyone\u2019s been singing Google Flights\u2019 praises lately, but are they right for doing so? Having used Google Flights to book over 20 trips worth of plane journeys, I can honestly say, I agree with every single compliment about Google\u2019s travel booker.<\/p>\n
Even though I was impressed with Google\u2019s flight search, I wasn\u2019t sure exactly what made it so much better than the other flight comparison sites I previously used, like Cheapflights, Skyscanner and Kayak. I mean, it\u2019s not as if Google have ever advertised the flight section of their search engine, and it\u2019s not as if it\u2019s particularly targeted at budget travellers \u2013 so I wanted to know why it was a cut above the rest.<\/p>\n
So I did some digging into other peoples\u2019 experiences and the technology behind it, and put together this list of why Google Flights is so popular, and why it\u2019s potentially one of the best places to book your flights online.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s super fast<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Some flight search sites can take ages to load all the possible flight options. To give them credit, there are thousands of flights out there, and thousands of different companies offering different flight prices, so it\u2019s no wonder scanning them all can take a few minutes.<\/p>\n
But somehow, Google Flights is much faster than other sites. Within just a couple of seconds, you\u2019ll have the best option right in front of you, and you can easily see the time of departure and landing, the operating airline, the length of the flight and the company to book through.<\/p>\n
There are some sites that even after several moments of waiting for the results, you still have to click through for more information, but almost as fast as lightning, Google will have loaded not only the best deal, but all the information you could need about not just that flight, but all the other, more expensive options too.<\/p>\n
It scans most airlines<\/strong><\/h2>\n
We\u2019ve all been to travel agencies, consultants and websites that state that they don\u2019t search all possible airlines and companies. And the second you hear this you know one thing: they\u2019re not going to include the budget airlines.<\/p>\n
But Google Flights loads both budget and high-end airlines, so you can make sure you\u2019re getting the best deal. You\u2019re not going to miss out on any bargains.<\/p>\n
