Google launches "Flight Deals" feature for smart flight deal search using artificial intelligence

Google has announced a new addition to the Google Flights service called "Flight Deals", which aims to simplify the process of searching for flight deals by relying on advanced artificial intelligence technologies.

The feature allows travelers to use natural language to describe their trips instead of filling out traditional search fields. Instead of manually specifying dates and destinations, users can write requests like "A trip this winter to a city famous for its cuisine, non-stop" or "A ten-day ski trip to a world-class resort with fresh snow", and the system will analyze these phrases and display the best available deals.

Flight Deals is specifically designed for travelers who have flexibility in their travel dates and are interested in getting the best prices. The feature also allows discovering new destinations that may suit users' interests without the need to manually search through multiple options.

Google is set to launch a beta version of the feature next week for users in the United States, Canada, and India, where it will be available through a dedicated page within the service, as well as accessible from the sidebar menu.

The company confirmed that the traditional Google Flights service will continue to operate independently, meaning users will retain the option to manually search for low-cost flights as usual.

The new feature relies on advanced artificial intelligence technologies to accurately understand user requests, then link them to real-time updated flight data from various airlines and booking sites.

According to Google's official blog, the goal of the beta release is to gather user feedback and explore ways to enhance the travel planning experience using artificial intelligence.

Flight Deals is expected to help travelers planning trips related to specific activities, such as skiing or safari, find suitable options within their budgets. For the best results, users can try formulating their requests in a descriptive manner similar to the examples provided.
