Google AI Mode tracks flights across 180 countries

Google has added flight-price tracking to AI Mode in Search, pulling options from more than 300 partner airlines and travel sites across 180 countries and territories. In its official travel update, Google says users can set email alerts, view flight and hotel prices in points or miles, and complete U.S.-English hotel bookings through partners including Expedia, Marriott, and Booking.com. The move turns search from a referral surface into a booking coordinator; builders should measure the conversion and loyalty they surrender when the agent owns the comparison layer, the same model-routing economics Google is already making explicit.
