Travelers can now plan and book more of a trip directly inside Google’s AI Mode in Search. Google is rolling out flight price tracking, hotel booking, and the ability to see flight and hotel costs in miles or points starting today. The tools connect the chatbot to Google Flights data, more than 300 airlines and travel sites, and a set of hotel and loyalty partners.
What trip-planning tools are coming to AI Mode?
Google is bringing three main additions to AI Mode. The first is the price-tracking tool from Google Flights. A user can tell the chatbot where they want to fly and when, and AI Mode will show options from more than 300 airlines and travel sites. If the user asks AI Mode to track prices, Google will send an email when prices change for the planned destination and travel dates.
The price tracker is live today in all locations and languages where AI Mode is available, except for countries and territories in the European Economic Area.
The second addition is the ability to check flight or hotel costs in miles or points. A user tells the chatbot where and when they want to travel and sees the flight cost in miles. For hotels, a user asks to see the cost in reward points. This works initially with Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, American Airlines, Choice Hotels International, Hilton, and Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. Google says support for Accor, Flying Blue, Hyatt, LATAM Airlines, and Lufthansa Group is coming soon.
The third addition is hotel booking inside AI Mode. After entering trip details and preferences, Google displays hotel options alongside guest reviews. The user can complete the booking using Google Pay. Hotel booking launches initially in the US in English and works with partner sites including Expedia, Marriott International, and Priceline. Google plans to roll this out in the coming weeks.
How does flight price tracking work in AI Mode?
Flight price tracking reuses the price-tracking tool from Google Flights. A traveler tells AI Mode the destination and travel dates. The chatbot returns options drawn from more than 300 airlines and travel sites. When the user asks AI Mode to track prices, Google monitors the selected route and dates and sends an email when prices change. The feature is live today wherever AI Mode is available, except in the European Economic Area.
Which loyalty programs work for miles and points pricing?
At launch, the miles and points view supports five loyalty programs across three airline brands and two hotel groups. The airline side includes Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, and American Airlines. The hotel side includes Choice Hotels International, Hilton, and Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. Accor, Flying Blue, Hyatt, LATAM Airlines, and Lufthansa Group are listed as coming soon.
How does hotel booking work in AI Mode?
Hotel booking starts with the user entering trip details and preferences into the chatbot. AI Mode then shows hotel options alongside guest reviews. The user can finish the booking with Google Pay without leaving the conversation. The rollout begins in the US in English and includes Expedia, Marriott International, and Priceline among the partner sites. Google plans to expand the booking feature over the coming weeks.
