Google Flight Search debuts in India, simplifies online travel booking

The Google Flight Search service which was launched in 2011, has finally made its way into India and it can be accessed across multiple devices including phones, tablets and desktops. The new release from the giant allows you to not only keep of track of flights, but also find deals and make bookings with ease.

There are many web-based services offering travel bookings with deals and Google Flight Search will certainly help surface the competition against popular names such as Goibibo, Yatra, Cleartrip and Makemytrip amongst others. Searching for flights can be done directly through the main Goggle website or you can visit the dedicated page to get recommendations of popular destinations based on your preference and search history.

Additionally, Google will also provide details such as prices and the amount of time each flight will take. And if you’ve got a date set, live amounts will be displayed for main locations all around the globe and there will also be a section which shows the lowest fares for a particular route.

You can use this feature to select a suitable date to plan your travel when the rates meet your budget. Seasonal fluctuations will even be displayed via a graph to show how prices vary around the year. Flight Search can be used to book single, round trip and multi-city tickets through airline partners.

In other news, Google has updated its Translate application which now enables real-time text conversion. This has been made possible through its acquisition of Word Lens. How the new tool works is that it uses the camera to identify a foreign language and quickly translates it into any of the 36 supported tongues. What’s more, you won’t need an internet connection to use this feature which makes it a great tool to have on vacations.

More information on Google Flight Search can be found on the company’s official blog.
