Google is launching the Flights and Destinations services in Romanian; thus, the applications can be used for searching flights and planning vacations within the country, not just abroad.
Google Destinations is a service that helps you plan your vacation directly from your phone. To do this, you must search on Google for a country, city, or continent, along with the words “travel” or “destination.” The result will be a collection of options and variants for that location, including flights and hotels. The search can also be done starting from a specific interest – for example, skiing, beaches, or diving.
The “Plan a trip with Google” section provides information about hotel and flight rates, including their variation for the next six months, which is very useful for building an estimated vacation budget. The search can be personalized based on preferences regarding hotels and star ratings or the option for direct flights or not. Moreover, the new feature will show the most frequently used itineraries for the chosen destination, based on other visitors’ options.
The Flights service launched by Google helps you find the best flights, compare existing options, and book the ticket very easily.
Google Flights will initially display flight options it considers suitable in terms of cost and convenience.
After searching for a flight route – for example, between Bucharest and Rome, Google Flights can also show you tips, such as alternative flight dates or different airport options, which can reduce the cost of the trip.
If you do not want to book the flight yet but want to stay updated on the price evolution for the chosen destination, the Flights service can offer you alerts about the price of a specific flight, on a specific date or route.
