Google Flights Tips

Use Google Flights for fast comparisons and price tracking. Here are the moves that actually help you find better prices without getting lost in noise.

Price tracking (set it once)

  • Turn on price tracking for a route even if you’re not ready to buy.
  • Track multiple versions: different dates + nearby airports.
  • When you see a drop, compare airlines’ direct checkout vs third-party.
  • Save the best finds to Deals with a note.

Flexible dates + date grid

  • Use “flexible dates” to spot cheaper day-of-week patterns.
  • Mid-week often prices better than peak weekends (route dependent).
  • Try shifting departure/return by 1–2 days to test swings.

Nearby airports

  • Check alternate airports near major cities (sometimes huge savings).
  • Compare total trip cost: added transport can cancel savings.
  • For big metros: run multiple searches and track each combo.

Filters that matter (ignore the rest)

  • Stops: nonstop vs 1-stop can change price drastically.
  • Duration: long layovers can be “cheap” but not worth it.
  • Bags: if you’ll check a bag, compare fare + bag fees.
  • Basic vs regular economy: seat choice/carry-on rules vary.
