Google has launched a “guaranteed lowest price badge” on Google Flights, a badge that means that the American company is sure that the price of a flight will not go any lower and that, if Google is wrong in its estimate, it will agrees to refund the difference.
“If you booked one of these flights, we monitor the price every day until takeoff, and if there’s a price drop, we’ll automatically refund the difference in Google Pay,” explains Jade Kessler, product manager on the Google Flights team, at a presentation event organized in New York.
At the moment, these badges are only available for flights that are purchased through “book” (reserve) in Google Flight and that depart from the United States, whether domestic or international.
It will be Google that will monitor the price of the flight every day until its departure and, if the price drops, the technology giant will return the difference to the buyer through Google Pay.
According to the company, the searches carried out by people in the US for these summer vacations (based on searches with dates from June to August 2023) are London, followed by Cancun (Mexico), Paris, Orlando (USA), Rome, New York (USA) and Las Vegas (USA).
Another novelty that Google is launching today is a new way to search for hotels on mobile devices more easily.
Now, when Internet users enter their search patterns -such as location or price- for hotels, they will be able to see that information in a format similar to the stories on the Instagram social network.
