Google AI Mode expands travel features with flight price tracking, hotel booking, and loyalty rewards
Google is rolling out three travel enhancements to AI Mode: flight price tracking with email alerts, displaying flight and hotel costs in loyalty points or miles, and direct hotel booking capabilities. The features are being deployed across more than 180 countries and territories in partnership with airlines, hotel chains, and travel booking platforms.
How does flight price tracking work in Google AI Mode?
Users can describe where and when they want to fly and receive a list of flights and prices from over 300 partner airlines and travel sites. After selecting flights, they can set up price tracking, which AI Mode confirms and delivers price change alerts via email.
Which loyalty programs and airlines does AI Mode currently support?
At launch, the feature supports Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, American Airlines, Choice Hotels International, Hilton, and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. Support for Accor, Flying Blue, Hyatt, LATAM Airlines, and Lufthansa Group is coming in the following weeks.
How does hotel booking through AI Mode work?
Users can chat about their preferences to receive a list of hotels with guest reviews and comparison factors. For supported partners, a "Continue on Google" button appears, allowing users to select room type, review details like cancellation policy, and complete booking securely via Google Pay.
Which hotel partners are supported for bookings in the US?
Supported partners include Booking.com, Choice Hotels International, Expedia, Hilton, Hotels.com, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International, Priceline, Trip.com, and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
