There are plenty of sites to find cheap flights, such as Skyscanner, Tix and Vliegtickets.nl. Still, Google thinks it can do better and Google Flights has started. Google thinks along and shows when a flight is cheaper, for example, a day later or earlier.

A useful function is to follow prices. You must be logged into your Google account. You will receive a notification if a flight is cheaper.

A very convenient and comprehensive site to search for cheap flights:

Google uses algorithms and historical data to predict whether certain flights may be delayed. In addition, travelers can already take delay into account, even if it is not already on the signs.

Google comes with some new features for its Google Flights search engine. This brings artificial intelligence (AI) to the platform, to predict the delay and complications in cheaper flights. Some background information is also offered.

Google Flights not only uses information from the airline itself, but also historical data. The AI ​​understands that data. The machine learning algorithms then predict the delay that the airline itself did not officially confirm. Incidentally, the AI ​​is not able to predict any delay. The prediction will only follow as soon as there is 80 percent conviction from the technology.

The app also provides the reason for the delay, which can be weather conditions, for example. Users can check the status of a flight by searching on flight number or a combination of airline and escape route. Then the search results show the delay information.

Other possibility
Another new feature that Google adds is aimed at informing what basic flights do and do not include in their price. These flights are often the only options for travelers on a limited budget, but come with a number of restrictions. For example, we often see that luggage can only be taken away in limited quantities or that users can not choose a seat.

Initially this will happen for worldwide flights from Delta, American Airlines and United Airlines. We can probably expect more parties to be supported in the future. Google Flights can also be used in the Netherlands . We can not directly determine whether the predictions of a delay also work in our region.
