Don't know where they're getting their data from.
Boston-dublin in Oct is over $1300 on google flight with Aerlingus
Same flight directly on the airline's website is $940.
Good luck with that, Google.
- analyst74 12y agoLast time I tried it in 2014 for international flights, Google Flight also seems to be a few hundred dollars more expensive than other travel sites.
- aembleton 12y agoHow does SkyScannner compare for that flight: http://www.skyscanner.net/ http://www.skyscanner.net/ I've always found them to be good.
- radiorental 12y agothey're on the money, same as Kayak

- jonknee 12y agoThough I see $550 round trip tickets on Delta, so there's that.
- what_ever 12y agoPretty sure Aerlingus has a non-stop between Boston and Dublin. Besides, you don't know the exact dates.
- radiorental 12y agoDelta doesn't fly direct. For this particular journey I could elect to spend 26 hours in Istanbul for $700 and change.
- RogerL 12y agoI just tried SFO to Mexico City. $447 on Google ($427 with a 12 hour layover), vs $352 on Kayak, and $338 on priceline.
- Nicholas_C 12y agoThat's very interesting to me. Either they're getting data from the same place and marking the price up differently or they're getting data from separate places that are marking the prices up differently.
- stavrianos 12y agoOr both.
- Nicholas_C 12y agoTrue.
- goodJobWalrus 12y agoI think that everyone should be getting their data from the same place, one of the major reservation systems, depending on the airline. For example, if you are looking at British Airways, it is served by Amadeus.
- ThatAdamGuy 12y agoHi Nicholas_C -- just wanted to reassure that we don't mark up anything, tack on any extra charges to a passenger's flight purchase, etc.
- NotHuckabee 12y agoThat's probably pre-tax/fees, while Google's result includes extra charges.
- radiorental 12y agonope, that's all in. And, you don't generally see 33% taxes on top of a ticket.
- SilasX 12y agoFor international flights? Taxes should definitely be most of the price or close to it. Here's a ticket breakdown I got a few years ago for Austin to Budapest (British Airways found through Vayama): 1 Adult(s) $ 457.00 Taxes and Fees $ 769.33 Trip Insurance $ 67.45 Total $ 1,293.78 (USD)
- Marazan 12y agoI presume they are over-aggressively caching data.
