Google Turns AI Mode into Travel Agent with Flight Price Tracking and Hotel Booking

Google is expanding its AI Mode in Search to become an all-in-one travel agent. The feature can now track flight prices and send notifications when fares change, available in over 180 countries.

The addition allows users to see how many airline miles or hotel points are required for flights and hotels, making it easier to decide whether to use rewards or pay with cash. Google is starting with six rewards programs: Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, American Airlines, Choice Hotels, Hilton, and Wyndham.

The company can also now help users book hotels directly through AI Mode in the US. Users can describe their preferences, such as location and price range, and receive a list of options. They can then choose a room and pay with Google Pay through supported partners.
