Everyone loves a good deal—especially when it comes to travel. That’s why last year we added tips on how to save money to Google Flights and hotel search on Google. Being flexible on travel dates and where to stay helps save money when planning a trip—so now we’re adding more ways to explore dates, airports and hotel locations to help you save when you have a bit of wiggle room in your itinerary.

Pick travel dates that are less expensive

Three out of five people who have planned a vacation in the last year said they’d be open to changing travel dates if it would save them money.¹ We already show tips when it’s possible to get a lower price by shifting dates slightly; in fact, almost 10 percent of the time that a Google Flights user sees a tip, they choose to change their original travel dates.²

In order to make flight prices—and potential savings—easier to find for a wide range of dates, we’ve added more price insights to Google Flights. Tap on “Dates” to see the calendar view of date combinations with the cheapest prices highlighted in green and the most expensive in red. Or if you have a certain length of trip in mind, the price graph allows you to see how airfare varies over time. Just swipe left to see more dates.

These new flight insights are now available on mobile and will be rolling out to Google Flights on desktop later this year.

We’ve also added new features to help you find the cheapest dates to reserve a hotel. When choosing dates for a specific hotel, you’ll now see the nightly rate in the calendar view. Or you can check out price trends for a hotel to see how rates change over time.

Consider nearby airports or hotel locations to decrease costs

Did you know that there are 10 major airports within three hours of New York City? Sometimes just changing the airport you’re flying through can make a big difference in the price you pay. In fact, for more than 25 percent of flight searches you can get a better price by choosing an alternate airport.³

Now you can see all nearby airports on an interactive map, view the distance between each one and your final destination, and select the most convenient airports to include in your results. This shows you all your airport options, offers more flights to choose from, and might save you a few dollars, too.

When you’re trying to choose a hotel, you can now see hotel prices on a map to quickly identify the best areas and hotels for both your budget and itinerary needs. You may find that a hotel just around the corner from a museum you’re interested in is available at a great price.

When it comes to travel planning, flexibility pays off. Search for flights and hotels on Google to save time and money planning your next trip, so you can focus on the journey ahead.

Whether you’re  traveling from Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro to celebrate Carnival or you’re looking to book a last minute summer vacation, Google Flights can offer inspiration and help you find the best flights available. You can search on Google for flights to a destination by searching for things like “Flights to Rio” or “Flights to the US”. Or, you can go directly to www.google.com.br/flights to quickly and easily compare and book flights — from your mobile device, tablet or desktop.

When you go to Google Flights you can now find the cheapest days to fly by tapping on the calendar icon to see prices displayed for every departure date.

Additional filters are now available to show pricing based on preferences. To see pricing based on seat type you can now filter by “class”, like Premium Economy. And if you’re booking flights for additional people, you can select the number of adults and children in your group to reflect the total availability and cost in your results.  

If you don’t have a specific place or exact dates in mind for your next trip try using the Explore feature to find ideas on destinations to visit based on trip duration. For example, if you want to get away in January you can choose “1 week” and “January” to see popular destinations — with the best time to visit and the lowest price available to get there. Once you click on a destination that interests you you’ll see a snapshot of the least expensive flights available including price, stops, and duration. We’ll also let you know if buying two one-way tickets will save you money or give you more flexible flight times.

And if you’re not quite ready to book yet, you can choose to track a flight and receive email notifications when prices are expected to change or when the price actually does increase or decrease significantly.

Google Flights helps you to get ideas on where to go, figure out the best time to travel, easily filter for preferences, quickly review flight options and select a flight. Make sure to take advantage of all the new bells and whistles in Google Flights when planning your next trip. Wishing you safe travels no matter where they should take you!
