Having moved away from Search and Gmail, I find the only Google tools I use now are Flights and Maps.
Maps can be replaced in most cases by Apple Maps, but I haven’t found a competitor for Flights.
- toast0 4y ago> I haven’t found a competitor for Flights. Live near a major airline's hub, and commit to only using that airline. Then things are easy. It's hard to provide a better flight search than that provided by a company that runs a GDS, although Travelocity didn't leverage it very well when they were part of Sabre. (Travelocity did have a calendar based flight search tool, working mostly from fare rules, but heavy caching made it frustrating to use when availability was limited, and FTC wanted them to get prices complete with all fees, which was apparently too complex to add later, so I think it was discontinued; we had to discontinue the cobranded version at Yahoo! Travel anyway)
