Flight Deals enters beta on Google Flights with no opt-in required, offering a standalone page and menu access for users in the US, Canada and India. Users can describe desired trips in conversational prompts rather than specifying exact dates or destinations, tapping real-time Google Flights data for bargain options. Google added a new filter to exclude basic-economy fares on itineraries within the US and Canada to refine deal results. Journalists report that Google has not disclosed which Gemini models power Flight Deals or detailed the privacy safeguards governing user data. Regulators and online travel agencies warn that AI-driven ranking of airline and OTA links could shift referral traffic and affect competition.
