Google Flights unveils new feature to find lowest ticket prices as holiday season approaches
Google Flights has introduced a feature that might help travelers who are hunting down deals on flights.
A new "Cheapest" tab option on Google Flights will show users the lowest flight prices, whether it is through a third-party or a nearby airport in a different city.
"We’ve traditionally shown the best options for your trip based on a mix of price, convenience and ease of booking. But sometimes, there are cheaper options available – especially if you’re willing to sacrifice a bit of convenience," a Google spokesperson told Fox News Digital via email.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reports that 1,044,764,461 passengers flew in an aircraft in 2023.
