Google released its own flight search and wishes to completely dominate your existence. Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Paperwork, this I am kidding. Well kind of.
Google's flight search is to establish with a few pretty fundamental parameters: You are able to input your origin, destination, cost, duration and tweak a lot of filters for other activities like stops, air carriers and connections. There also appears to become a choice to complete a wide open-ended search by setting only a couple of criteria like cost and date, much like Kayak Explore. Results appear on a single page, which makes it rather functional and user-friendly.

It's quite simple, but it is still missing a couple of features. For instance, if you are set on the one-way, multi-city trip or searching in an worldwide destination, no way (there goes my round-the-world trip).
Should you remember long ago this past year, when Google made the decision to buy ITA for $700 million, Google's flight search can make a great deal of sense. The organization, if you are unfamiliar, produces travel software that forces a few of the greatest flight search sites around including Kayak, Orbitz, Hotwire and TripAdvisor. It most likely can't contend with the kind of the large boys yet given its restrictions, however it does look promising if Google can kick up a notch.
