Today Google unveiled its long awaited new flight search tool. Take a look at the video and a spin through the tool and share your thoughts…do you like it better than your favorite online booking tool? Is this a game changer?
I like what I see…in typical Google style, its super fast, clean and simple, easy to understand, and unbiased. Right now it’s a work in progress, so there are no international flights, or options for one way travel. It also only displays Southwest flight times, but not fares.
What do you think? Please leave your comments below.

I like the Google flights piece. It has Virgin flights on it which most other sites, like Kayak.com, don’t carry (I didn’t see Southwest). Thumbs down to the comment about it not giving info on a flight abroad – obviously anyone who doesn’t explore the site will be upset to find out punching in “London” won’t work. I like that you can measure price and date; I think it’s a really smart tool – just what you want to discuss with your travel agent! Anyhoo, you probably didn’t want comments on your article filling your inbox, so, I’ll take off now. Mainly what I wanted to say was THANK YOU! For bringing this new tool to my attention. I will go there first from now on (unless I’m using miles hahahaha).
All the flight searches are missing VX
