Google has expanded its AI Mode to be a travel booking assistant, simplifying the process of planning and booking trips right in the search interface. With this upgrade, customers will be able to track flight pricing, get to see points and miles rates for their trips and also effortlessly search for and book hotel stays. They build on the original capabilities of AI Mode, which delivered a more conversational query experience and relevant answers to customer enquiries. The goal of this extension is to increase customer satisfaction by reducing the need to leave the search platform to make travel plans.
Users may set up price alerts, add particular flight information and integrate the service with their existing travel plans to better plan their trips within a chat session. AI Mode provides you with access to a wide database with the current price from more than 300 airlines and travel sites, so you may have a wide range of options.
If you are a little more patient with booking, AI Mode enables users to request to follow prices for flights, and the nice thing is that you will get an email notice if prices change. This flight price tracking option is accessible in more than 180 countries and territories, making it a handy tool for travellers throughout the world.

The Search AI Mode feature improves the travel experience for users by providing the option to see the cost of flights and hotel stays in both points and miles. Users may ask about travel plans in a simple way, such as, “I want to fly from Atlanta to Miami using my AA miles.” The function offers instant insight into the miles required for flights, based on data provided by a range of travel partners. For hotel reservations, the same straightforward concept applies, where consumers only need to provide the location and dates for their trip. The technology, accessible worldwide, will serve many airlines and hotel companies initially, including Alaska Airlines, American Airlines and Hilton. There are plans to extend the offers in future to include more brands such as Accor, Hyatt and Lufthansa Group.
