Google Flights uses artificial intelligence

Planning a flight can be a chore that gives us a lot of headaches. Especially if our flight is delayed for any reason. This is the problem that the application wants to solve. Since this new update will notify you when the delay of a specific flight is confirmed. But in addition to this it will use historical data to predict if your flight could be delayed.

These are predictions, so there is no guarantee that they will be true. But, these algorithms that Google Flights is going to use also employ machine learning. So the company expects a hit ratio of 80% in its predictions. To check if a flight has been delayed, it would be worth looking for the airline and the flight route.

Also, Google Flights wants users to save some money. Therefore, it will show you the fares of each airline when choosing a flight. In this way, you will be able to compare prices and see which one compensates you the most to use on your trip. At the moment it will only be available with United, American Airlines and Delta.
