The prices of airline tickets follow a pattern of behavior, That is, prices fluctuate based on multiple factors that human eye can miss, but not the big brain of Google. The Californian giant has announced a big update of Google Flights, its flight search engine. This sophisticated tool now incorporates an algorithm that takes into account the historical price of the routes, so that it alerts us when the price of a given trip will go up, and consequently when it is better to book that trip.

You only have to access Google Flights, choose the departure airport and destination, the date you want to travel and press enter. The Google search engine will start working to find the prices of the route. Here you can select to receive notifications to know if there are variations in prices.

Google will let you know when the flight prices are going to go up and that's when you have to decide whether or not to buy the plane ticket.

In addition, Google flight also offers the possibility of alerting if better prices appear on other dates close to the planned one. In this way you will have a wider range of possibilities to buy an economic plane ticket.

Google Flights also allows the tool to be the one that suggests destinations based on the type of experience we want and logically, at the best price. Thus, if one wishes to travel to the United States in December but does not have preferences about the city, Flights will display a map with the different destinations and their prices, specifying in which week the tickets should be reserved.

Google Flights gives the information of the flights in detail in addition to reporting details of the flight that has been selected, as if it has WiFi, entertainment on board, or if the seat has a plug. The tool also specifies the planned time of scale at each airport if the route includes it.
