Unlock the Cheapest Flights with Google’s Latest Update: Find the Best Deals Now

Google Flights Unveils "Cheapest" Search Filter, Revolutionizing the Way We Look for Deals

As the holiday travel season fast approaches, Google Flights is launching a game-changing feature to make cost-conscious travel planning a breeze. Say goodbye to tedious legwork and hello to a dedicated "Cheapest" search filter on Google Flights!

Finding the Best Deals Has Never Been Easier

When you enter your travel details, you’ll soon notice two intuitive tabs: "Best" and "Cheapest". The "Best" option is based on a mix of price and convenience, while the new "Cheapest" tab scours the globe for options with even lower prices.

What Does the "Cheapest" Tab Entail?

The "Cheapest" tab offers more options with reduced prices by considering creative itineraries, which might include:

• Longer layovers: already a familiar concept in Google Flights
• Self-transfers: a process that requires collecting and checking baggage, as well as separating flights and giving up airline benefits
• Purchasing and separating individual legs of your trip through multiple airlines or third-party booking sites, which can sometimes offer cheaper rates

A Word of Caution: Be Aware of Additional Fees and Complications

When you land on a flight with the "Separate tickets booked together" warning, you’ll see a prominent red alert. This is applicable for both "Separate tickets" and "Self-transfer" situations.

When Can You Expect This Game-Changer?

The "Cheapest" search filter is rolling out this week, with a global rollout planned over the next two weeks. If cost is your top priority, you’ll want to keep an eye out for this feature starting now!
