Key points

  • Google’s AI Mode now displays award‑flight prices alongside cash fares in a single chat interface.
  • The feature initially supports select US airline loyalty programs and tracks cash‑fare changes in real time.
  • Rollout is phased; hotel pricing tools are being added, and bookings still complete on airline websites.

The tool pulls data from airline partners and lets travelers complete bookings on the airline’s own site, where seat maps and rules still apply. Google says the rollout is phased and may differ by location; hotel pricing tools are also being expanded.

The addition reflects Google’s push to embed AI deeper into travel search, competing with other AI‑driven travel assistants and giving frequent flyers a clearer view of value when using points.
