Check flight cost
Google unveiled a service in May that enables you to find the cheapest flights to your location. Google will notify you in the coming three to six months if lower-than-normal costs are detected, so now you can start looking at pricing to find out discounts for any period.
Simply enter your destination in Google Flights on your browser. If you don’t have a specific date for your trip in mind, choose any date to get the maximum rate.
Navigate through the mall, station, and airport
Google Maps is updating its Directory tab to include all airports, shopping centers, and public transportation hubs in case you need to quickly locate a store in a large mall. This can be useful if you’re looking for a place to dine from the airport or pick up a last-minute gift before your trip. You can view the location’s hours of operation and the floor on the tab. You can search through dining establishments, shops, bars, and parking lots.
Use Google Maps to know how busy a place is
There is now a new feature in the Engagement tool in Google Maps. When you searched for a location, such as a business, there was already a chart available showing how busy it is now. Now you can see when the entire map area is full of people because of a new feature called Area Business.
To use the new function, launch the Google Maps app on your Android, iPhone, or your computer, then pan and zoom the map to find a common location, such as a city, the Riverwalk, or a small neighboring town. You no longer need to specifically search for a place to see how crowded it is because the occupancy data will now be instantly visible on the map.
Monitor your travel plans using Google Maps
Instead of digging through your inbox and looking for check-in times and confirmation numbers, Google Maps can conveniently display your flight, hotel, car rental, and booking.
You can view your confirmed booking here:
- Click Saved in the bottom menu row of Google Maps.
- Click on Reservations. You can see a list of your upcoming reservations here that Maps has retrieved from your Gmail emails.
- Click on an item to view further information about the reservation, such as the time and place.
- To view a list of the appointments you’ve made, type “my reservations” into the Google Maps search bar.
