Google Flights Introduces 'Cheapest' Tab for Budget Travelers

The new feature helps users prioritize cost over convenience by offering the lowest airfare options, even if they involve trade-offs.

Overview

Google Flights' new 'Cheapest' tab allows users to find the lowest-priced flights by prioritizing cost over convenience.
The feature may involve longer layovers, self-transfers, and booking through multiple airlines or third-party sites.
Google's travel trends suggest booking holiday flights in October for the best deals on Thanksgiving and Christmas travel.
The 'Cheapest' tab is rolling out globally and will be fully available within the next two weeks.
This update comes amid rising airfare costs, with a 25% increase in the consumer price index for airline tickets over the past year.
