Google announced a new, AI-powered way to search for flights. The new Flight Deals tool is rolling out to U.S. users over the next week.
Google's new tool lets users search for flight options using natural language, rather than having to go through the tedium of searching for an endless combination of dates and destinations to find a good deal.
"Instead of playing with different dates, destinations and filters to uncover the best deals, you can just describe when, where and how you’d like to travel – as though you’re talking to a friend – and Flight Deals will take care of the rest," a statement from Google about the new product said.
I tried it out myself by searching for "A long weekend trip to somewhere with good hiking, not departing from Newark for less than $500," since I live in Queens, New York, and Newark Liberty International Airport is inconvenient for me to get to when the other two major airports for the city are so close by.
Google came back with a variety of domestic and international destinations that fit my description.
