Google Introduces Automatic Flight Cost Guarantee and Further Flight-Related Features
In a move to revolutionise travel booking, Google has introduced a series of new features aimed at making the process more user-friendly and cost-effective.
One of the key additions is the swipe feature for browsing hotels on mobile devices, similar to the popular Tinder interface. This allows users to sift through hotel images with ease, making it simpler to find the perfect accommodation in their desired area. To view more information about each hotel, users simply need to type in their search and tap to view more details.
Google's new tool also guarantees the lowest price for flights, particularly for those departing from the U.S. The guarantee badge indicates that Google is confident the price won't rise before the flight, offering peace of mind to travellers.
In terms of refunds, a maximum of $500 can be refunded per calendar year. If the price drops after booking, Google will automatically refund the difference via Google Pay, as long as the fare difference is at least $5. However, only three refunds can be claimed at one time.
The Platinum Card from American Express is another tool that can help maximise rewards when paying for travel expenses. Cardholders earn 5x points per $1 spent on flights booked directly with the airline or through AmexTravel.com, up to $500,000 spent per calendar year, after which points are earned at a rate of 1x.
Google's travel tools, particularly for flights, are increasingly being preferred for booking travel. The company has also hinted at expanding its flight price guarantee program to countries beyond the United States, although no specific details have been announced yet.
For those looking to book hotels in Paris, there's a hot tip for using points. Further updates on the latest developments in Google's travel tools and the expansion of its flight price guarantee program will be provided as they become available.
In conclusion, Google's new features and the Platinum Card from American Express offer exciting opportunities for travellers looking to save money and earn rewards on their travel expenses.
