Until now, airfare search results on Google Flights prioritized a combination of price and convenience over cost alone. This means you risk missing out on the cheaper options and spending more than you need to.

With an update to its online tool rolling out gradually over the coming weeks, Google is finally making it easier to find the best airfares for your trip, even if you might sacrifice a bit of convenience if you opt for the one of them. .

“For example, there could be a third-party booking site offering a lower price than the airline itself,” Google explained in a blog post announcing the update. “Or you may be able to save by returning to another airport in the same city you departed from – such as flying out of LaGuardia in New York and returning to JFK.”

The update places a new “Cheapest” tab on the Google Flights search page, while the most convenient options (according to Google Flights, at least) will appear alongside it under the “Best” tab.

Of course, you may find some of the options under the “Cheapest” tab indicating longer layovers, self-transfers, or a requirement to purchase different legs of the trip from multiple airlines or booking sites. But as Google points out in its article: “For those times when cost matters more than convenience, the new tab makes it easy to see the lowest prices available,” letting you decide which option is best for you.

Google has been gradually improving its Flights tool since its launch in 2011. In a more recent update, the tech giant added a feature that suggests the best time to book a cheap flight. Google Flights also offers price tracking which, once set up, automatically alerts you if your route price sees a noticeable drop.
