Google Flights introduces lowest price guarantee on selected routes
Google Flights has introduced a new service that could catch the attention of travellers looking for the best deals. According to the new pilot programme, the lowest price guarantee is available on selected routes booked through the app.
Google claims that its algorithms are reliable enough to ensure that the price it offers for a given flight is the lowest available.
The new feature involves monitoring ticket prices until the departure of the first flight from the reservation. If the price drops, Google will refund the difference through the Google Pay app.
Terms of use
Initially, the offer was available only for selected routes booked using "Book on Google". Now Google has expanded the programme to selected routes that can be found on Google Flights and booked through airline or travel agency websites.
The price difference must be at least £3.75 to receive a refund, and the maximum refund is £375. The money will be transferred within a calendar year to the Google account. You can create up to three reservations at a time with the lowest price guarantee.
To use the programme, you must be logged into a Google account, have your location set to the USA, and have your currency set to US dollars (USD). The price guarantee only covers flights departing from the USA. You must also provide a US billing address and phone number on the "Book on Google" page.
The company will refund the price difference
The price difference refund is processed within 48 hours after the first flight departure from the reservation. To obtain it, you must confirm by email that the reservation has been made by entering the confirmation number and the last name and accepting the service terms.
The new Google Flights service can be a major convenience for people travelling from the USA. It ensures they pay the lowest possible price for their airline tickets.
