Get More for Your Money: Google Flights' Price Guarantee Launched!

Google has recently launched a pilot program for Google Flights that offers a price guarantee. This means that if you book a flight through Google Flights and the price drops afterward, you will receive a refund of the difference. The program is currently available in the US for select flights and is represented by a shield icon with a dollar sign. Google Flights will monitor the price of the flight daily until departure, ensuring that you get the best possible price. Isn't that great?

At present, the price guarantees for Google Flights are only applicable to flights departing from the US and are limited to customers with a US billing address and phone number. Additionally, the guarantees are only available for flights where Google is confident that the price will not drop.

It's important to note that there are some limitations to the price guarantee program offered by Google Flights. For example, customers can only receive up to $500 back per calendar year, and the price difference must be greater than $5 to qualify for a refund. In addition, refunds are processed through Google Pay, which must be set up within 90 days of receiving the notification that it's available.

Lastly, it's essential to book your tickets through Google Flights to be eligible for the price guarantee. Google Flights aims to refund the price difference within 48 hours of your flight's departure, provided you've already set up Google Pay.

Google has also rolled out a new feature that allows users to explore hotels in a given area using a "swipeable story format." This feature displays a slideshow of hotels that can be swiped up to show more options, adding a fun and interactive aspect to hotel searching.
