My biggest criticism of Google Flights is that sometimes the price it shows you is only available through some sketchy third party OTA based out of a foreign country that only offers support through email. Good luck if anything goes wrong or needs to be changed with your ticket.
- nomilk 2y ago> third party (online travel agent) I've used Google flights ~50 times and hadn't seen too many recommendations for flights booked through OTAs, but hard agree with avoiding them (and booking directly with the airline).
- dboreham 2y agoFun fact: sometimes Google Flights will show a (lower) fare on United that doesn't exist on United's own site. But if you click though to United from Google, it magically now does exist, and can be ticketed. I don't know if this happens with other airlines (I look for and book mostly United).
- nomilk 2y agoDidn't know this! Although had seen the opposite: flights (/prices) listed on google that are no longer listed on the airline's site.
