Google is introducing a few useful new tools for its Travel site that should make it easier to plan trips online this summer.
Tuesday’s deals: 99¢ Echo Dot, #1 mosquito & fly trap for $28, rare iPad mini deal, moreOne of the most convenient features on Google Flights is the ability to track prices with the click of a button. As an incredibly indecisive traveler, I constantly use this feature in order to keep track of flights that I’m not quite ready to book.
This week, that feature got upgraded. You can now track a flight’s prices for any date rather than a specific time frame. If Google detects lower fares within 3-6 months, you’ll receive an alert. This is especially useful for planning potential vacations when the price of your flight is prohibitive. For example, you might want to visit Japan this year, but you’re willing to go any time between now and Christmas for the right price.
If you head to the Explore page, you’ll see a pink dot and a bubble prompting you to explore nearby your current location. Click on the bubble and Google will offer suggestions for trips that you could take within a few hours of your home. Pick a destination to see how long it would take to get there and fun activities to check out when you arrive.Know where you’re going, but aren’t sure where to stay? Google’s got a new feature for you as well.
Finally, if you’re planning the vacation months ahead of time, you will probably want to take advantage of the new feature that allows users to bookmark hotels and vacation rentals. You can see your saved properties at any time from the Saved tab on mobile or in the right panel on desktop. Much better than trying to keep it all straight in your head.
