Google Flights<\/h2>\n

Google Flights<\/a> is perhaps the most intuitive, straightforward and useful flight search tool on the internet. Its many features and functionalities help you identify the best flight prices and options for both specific flight times and flexible itineraries.<\/p>\n

You can also search based on what TPG recommends as the best times of day<\/a> to book flights.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re exploring Google Flights, examine the map search feature. It can show you the least expensive fares to various destinations, which can be a great source of inspiration. You can also click on the date grid to see flight pricing for entire months at a time, and the price graph to see overall trends for pricing on your target itinerary.<\/p>\n

Another useful feature is Google\u2019s embedded price tracker. The tracker appears on the search results page, allowing you to track overall prices on the route you\u2019re searching. When tracking prices, if you sign in to your Google account, you can receive notifications for price changes, new offers and expiration dates of an itinerary you have saved. You\u2019ll then receive notifications of price changes directly to your inbox, preventing the need to manually search multiple times a day in the hopes of a price drop.<\/p>\n

Note that while this tool includes nearly all airlines, it won\u2019t show ticket prices on some carriers, like Southwest Airlines.<\/p>\n
