Flight insights
After searching for your tickets, “Flight insights” gives you options to optimize your travel experience.
Book separate or self-transfer tickets for one trip
You can buy flights as separate or self-transfer tickets from one or more partners. These options might appear when they could save you money or open more flight schedules.
Instructions to buy separate or as self-transfers
If tickets can be bought in a single transaction from an airline or online travel agency, click the link to go to their website.
Otherwise:
- Click the link for each ticket and double-check the price.
- Once you confirm that all tickets are available, proceed to buy them one by one. If any of the tickets can’t be bought and you are in the US, in most cases you can call the airline to take advantage of its 24-hour refund policy to cancel the ticket(s) you already bought.
Tips:
- If you need to make changes, you might be charged a change fee for each ticket.
- Each airline has different baggage rules and fees.
- Buying separate tickets from different airlines or self-transfer tickets may require claiming and rechecking baggage, which takes additional time, so plan accordingly.
- If your outbound trip is delayed, for example in the case of a layover or multi-city trip, you might miss your second trip. To find out about your options, contact the airline.
Why some flights aren’t included
Google Flights uses over 300 partners, like airlines, online travel agencies, and aggregators, to display its offers. Not all airlines or available flights are included, as a partnership with Google is required. Most of these partners provide Google with all prices and flight options that they would show on their own websites or through third-party sites. This ensures that you get a complete view of the flights and prices that match your search, without the need to check prices on multiple sites.
Some flights might not show up when:
- The flights are sold out or unavailable.
- The carrier hasn’t yet been added to Google Flights.
