Google AI Mode Can Now Track Flight Prices and Book Hotels
Google is adding flight price tracking, hotel booking, and loyalty pricing tools to AI Mode in Search.
Google AI Mode travel tools now let users track flight prices, book hotels, and check the cost of eligible flights and hotels in points or miles. The update pushes Google's conversational Search experience further into trip planning, where it can handle parts of the process instead of simply answering questions.
For flights, users can describe where and when they want to travel and see current options from more than 300 partner airlines and travel sites. If they are not ready to buy, they can ask AI Mode to track the prices and receive an email when the fare changes. The feature is now available in more than 180 countries and territories.
Hotel booking works differently because the initial rollout is limited to the U.S. in English. AI Mode can show hotels based on a user's preferences, including reviews and details to compare, before supported partners offer a "Continue on Google" option. Users can choose a room, review cancellation terms, and pay through Google Pay.
Google is also bringing loyalty pricing into AI Mode. Users can ask for flights or hotels using points or miles, with initial support from Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, American Airlines, Choice Hotels International, Hilton, and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. More partners are expected in the coming weeks.
The change matters because AI Mode can now stay involved after the first travel search. A user can describe a trip, watch the fare, compare hotels, or check award pricing without switching between several separate searches.
Google's hotel rollout includes Booking.com, Choice Hotels International, Expedia, Hilton, Hotels.com, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International, Priceline, Trip.com, and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. The hotel or booking platform remains responsible for the reservation and customer service after a booking is made.
Google AI Mode travel is therefore becoming less like a conversational search box and more like a layer connecting Google's existing travel services with booking partners. Flight booking itself has not been added yet, so users still leave AI Mode to complete flight purchases.
