Get money back if your flight price drops, even after booking through Google Flights!

October 16, 2024

We’ve all been there: you book a flight, and the next day, the price drops. Frustrating, right? Well, Google Flights has come up with a solution through their Price Guarantee. This pilot program gives travelers the opportunity to book flights with the confidence that they’ll never pay too much. Sounds great, doesn’t it? Let’s take a look at how it works!

What is the Price Guarantee?

Google Flights uses smart algorithms that can sometimes predict with certainty that the price of a flight won’t drop any further before departure. For selected flights, indicated by a colorful price badge, Google tracks the price continuously until the first flight of your itinerary departs. If the price does drop? You get the difference refunded!

How much can I get back?

When you book a flight with the Price Guarantee, Google will refund you the difference between the price you paid and the lowest price for that flight shown on Google Flights before departure. The price difference must be at least $5 USD, and you can receive up to $500 USD per year through your Google account. You can have up to three price-guaranteed flights at once in your account.

How does it work?

1. Search for your flight on Google Flights.
2. Choose a flight with the colorful price badge.
3. Book your flight with the airline or travel agency through the link on Google Flights.
4. Google will monitor the price and notify you if it drops.
  The process is simple:

Important: This feature is only available for flights departing from the United States and when the currency is set to USD.

How do you get your money back?

If the price drops, you’ll receive an email from Google Flights after the first flight departs. To get your money back, all you need to do is confirm that you booked the flight. The amount will be transferred to your Google Pay account within 48 hours. Easy, right?

What does it cost?

Nothing! The Price Guarantee is completely free. Google does the work for you while you sit back, knowing you’ve secured the best deal.

And what if the price doesn’t drop?

No worries! If the price doesn’t drop, you can be sure that you’ve gotten the best price for your flight. Win-win!

With the price guarantee option from Google Flights, you’re always guaranteed the best price for your ticket. If the price drops after booking, you’ll get the money back. Thanks to Google Flights, you don’t have to worry about price fluctuations because you’ll always get the difference refunded if the price drops. In short, the perfect way to book smart and be sure you’ve found the best deal!
