The title is sensationalist. The product is not dead but rebranded and redesigned. It's the app that is dead. Google Travel (which is a web site) replaces Google Trips (which is an application) and is pretty much the same product.
Abundance of ads (or rather partners' offerings) on Google Flight is a fair point, however it's a bit ironic to see this shaming coming from ArsTechnica that itself relies heavily on ad revenue.

It's a news site that has an paid option for an ad-free and tracking-free subscription. I'm not sure how it could be less ironic unless it came from a public news service that has a blanket ban on advertisements. (Do any of those exist?)
- Liquid_Fire 7y agoThe killer feature of Google Trips for me (and I'm sure many other users) was the offline support, so for us it may as well be dead.
