      Google has recently updated its Google Flights platform by introducing a Google Flights new feature that is designed to assist travelers in finding the most cost-effective times to book their flights. This latest addition to the platform complements the existing Google Flights price tracking and Google Flights price guarantee options that users have found to be incredibly useful.

      New Feature Details

      The new feature provides guidance from Google on the most budget-friendly periods for booking flights. Specifically, for searches with a substantial amount of trend data, users will now be able to see when prices have typically been at their lowest for their selected dates and destinations. This is a significant part of the Google Flights price insights that the platform is offering.

      How it Functions

      For instance, the new insights might indicate that the most affordable time to book similar journeys is usually two months before departure, and the user is currently in that ideal window. Alternatively, it might reveal that prices have generally decreased closer to the departure date, thereby suggesting that the user might want to wait a bit longer before booking. Either way, this feature empowers users to make decisions with a higher level of confidence.

      Flight booking trends 2023 were also released by Google, which were based on the historical pricing patterns observed on Google Flights.

      Price Guarantee

      In some flight results, users will notice a colorful price guarantee badge. This badge signifies that Google is particularly confident that the fare displayed won't decrease before the departure date. If a user books one of these flights, Google will monitor the price every day until the departure date. If the price does decrease, Google will refund the difference via Google Pay. This is part of a pilot program available for select 'Book on Google' itineraries departing from the US.

      Best Times to Book

      According to Google, for trips beginning in mid-December, the best time to book flights for Christmas is usually in early October. On average, prices are at their lowest 71 days before departure. This is a significant shift from the 2022 insights, which found that average prices were at their lowest just 22 days before departure. The typical low price range is now 54-78 days before takeoff.

      For flights from the US to Europe, the best time to book flights from US to Europe is 72 days or more before departure. In other words, average airfares from the US to Europe tend to increase over time, especially once you're about 10 weeks from departure.

      Wrap Up

      Ultimately, this Google Flights new feature is an excellent tool for those looking to learn how to save money on flights. It not only provides valuable insights into the cheapest time to book flights but also offers flight deals and flight discounts through the Google Flights price guarantee. Therefore, if you're planning your next trip, make sure to leverage this feature to get the best possible deal.
