Google Inc. launched flight search tool in India
Users can search directly for flights on Google or access google.co.in/flights to find, compare and book flights. The service works on mobile devices, tablets and PCs. Google said on its official blog.
The flight search gives users options to search for round trip, one way and multi-city flights. When users click on the departure date field, the service also offers a calendar with the lowest fares for the route highlighted for each day.
It also lets users use the lowest fares graph below the calendar to see how prices may fluctuate based on the season, holidays or other events.
After selecting the departure and return dates, users get a list of 'Best flights', which shortlists flights based on the best combination of convenience and price.
It lets users view other flights by scrolling through the summary list or selecting, "Show longer or more expensive flights."
Google Flight search also allows users to book flights through a Google partner. These results are displayed under a blue coloured 'Ads' box.
Users can also save itineraries or share them with others. While the service will offer fares for all major fights, Google's online partners will have an edge over other online travel agents as the search pages would offer a direct link to them
