Mountain View, California — Going on a vacation or business trip soon? You have five minutes to compare flights from Toronto to Beijing. Which has the quickest route? What airlines will get you there? Well oops… The task of having to crawl through a huge list of different flight times has just been simplified by Google. But, the company has recently unleashed a novel feature called “Quick Flight Lookup” search application for general search so that flights can be found quicker and more efficiently.
The entirely maddening course of finding perfect flight schedules with impeccable reliability generally wipes out the enthusiasm to project plans for an ideal trip.
Since Google has always been keen to users’ requests, anticipating a solution for this as well should not prove us wrong. Thanks to Google’s quick flight search feature, all you need to do is key in your origin and destination cities…. The program is very simple to use, simply type “Flight [City] [City]” and then perform the search.
As an example users can key in the query as: “Flight Chicago Los Angeles” and then perform a search which simplifies users’ interaction with finding results for their travel-related searches:
After the main search display is shown, users can conveniently glance over a quick summary of flight information right on the results page by just clicking on the “schedule of non-stop flights” to find flights that are departing on the day of your search:
If a particular destination is cropping across the mind, users can quickly discover which airlines serve that specific route and when they fly. Obviously being a new feature, so far Google has listed major airports in major cities, so do not feel too downhearted at the moment if the smaller airport in your local town has not been given the flash new search treatment.
Besides, there are a lot of trick searches you can perform through Google that have been around for a while. If you fancy a quick last minute journey from your local airport then simply enter “flight X,” and all originating flights should be displayed. To view what jets are landing in your airport, type “flights X”. X of course being the name or initial of your airport.
“This is just a small step towards making richer travel information easier to find,” Google software engineer Petter Wedum posted on the Inside Search blog.
“We hope to make finding flights online feel so easy, it will feel like… well, a vacation!”
Hopefully, the new Google Flight Schedule feature will make it easier for users to plan their trips with a sense of reliability. Thanks, Google. This is yet another life-enriching enhancement added to your search repertoire.
The newly unleashed feature is currently available in a variety of languages including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Turkish, and Catalan.
