Google now predicts if your flights will be delayed to notify you

Google continues to incorporate new features in its goal of becoming one of the most comprehensive tools for travel. Your Google Assistant app is now able to predict if a flight is going to be delayed to notify you in advance.

Google can now predict if your flight will be delayed

Until now, the tools in the Google suite could help you find out if your flight would be delayed. The big news is that the US company has been improving its applications to be able to "get ahead of events".

As confirmed by Google, their applications can now predict (with some advance notice) if a flight will be delayed, with a hit rate of approximately 85% of the cases.

To access this information, we can directly ask the Google Assistant, which will answer us with the details related to that specific flight .

Of course, if the plane tickets have been sent to your Google email, you can receive notifications on your smartphone about flight changes , as was already the case.

Google also brings other useful functions for travel

In addition to the new delay prediction tool, Google has added other interesting news for travel.For example, the newly released “For You” section on Google Maps lets you see personalized recommendations for places to see or restaurants to eat at your destination.

On the other hand, the Google Flights tool now allows you to search for flights by creating price filters according to the type of luggage that you are going to carry . That is to say: when carrying out the search you can already know the final price of your ticket (with supplements included), taking into account the fees for checked baggage, extra baggage or payments for hand luggage when applicable.

It is, in short, a series of small innovations in various applications that do not radically change the way we travel but will allow us to get even more out of the tools from Google during vacations or business trips.
