If you’re like most travelers, you’ve already signed up for Google’s Trips. If not, you’re missing out. Google has more information about your trips than you think, including price, duration, and even your tastes in food. You can even create custom trips from Google’s travel planner, saving you hours of research time. But what’s new in the Google Travel Planner? Let’s find out! Continue reading to find out more!
Explore section
If you are planning a trip to a new destination, Google’s Explore section is a great way to get a better idea of what’s available. You can filter your results based on price, length, or points of interest to find destinations that suit your needs. You can also view suggestions based on your search history, and use this information to tailor your trip. Here are some of the most useful features of the Explore section of Google Travel Planner.
Price
A new feature in Google’s travel planner makes the experience even better. Now, users can follow the price of their flights up to six months in advance. To activate the price tracking feature, simply search for flights between two cities and toggle the “track price” section on. You can then receive an email if fares fall below a certain level. This feature is particularly helpful when planning a vacation to a destination that is far from your own.
Duration
Google’s trip planner is a popular way to plan your next vacation. The tool was launched in September 2016 as a mobile application for Android. In 2019, Google added a web-based version to the service. Here is a brief overview of the main features of Google’s trip planner. Its main features are:
Color coding
In the Google travel planner, color coding makes it easy to prioritize the things you want to see and do. When you color-code a list, you can see what you must do first, then the next 10 things. You can keep everyone in your group on the same page by categorizing things by color. This helps you see the things that matter most to each person. You can also color-code your lists to keep everyone on the same page.
Sharing
The new Google Trips app uses your Gmail account to automatically gather your reservations and organize them into trips. It also serves as a data collection tool for Google, and is already available on iOS and desktop worldwide. It’s similar to Google Maps, with a search box and prompt, “Where do you want to go?” on the home screen, and cards for tracking your travel. When you’re done, you can share your plan with friends or family.
Cancellation
In an effort to make Google’s travel planner more useful, the company has made changes to the way the tool works. In addition to new filters to highlight free cancellation policies, Google is also adding information on how to stay safe while traveling. Users can see how many flights and hotels are available in a destination and whether the location has been affected by the pandemic. A “Free Cancellation” feature will be live next week.
