Summary
Google’s AI Mode can now track flight prices, book hotels and show fares in points or miles, pushing the conversational search tool deeper into trip planning and checkout.
More than 300 airlines and travel sites feed the flight feature, letting users build itineraries in chat and receive email alerts when tracked prices change.
U.S. hotel booking in English is rolling out over the coming weeks through partners including Booking.com, Expedia, Hilton and Marriott, with checkout completed via Google Pay after users choose “Continue on Google.”
Points-and-miles pricing is already available globally, while flight price tracking is live in more than 180 countries, extending AI Mode from search assistance toward an AI travel agent role.
