Nikki Gilliland says, “Google has been increasing its focus on travel for a while now.

Along with recent updates to its online airfare comparison tool, Google Flights (which now tells users the cheapest times to book tickets), it’s also launched its first native app in the sector.

Google Trips is designed to be every traveller’s ‘personal tour guide’ – but what sets it apart from other travel apps?

Here’s a look at some of its key features.

Organisation in one place

While Google Flights wants to disrupt sites like Kayak and Skyscanner (i.e. the places people go to book), Google Trips aims to take the reins immediately after this point, helping travellers to plan and organise their holidays.

Once users sign in using their Gmail accounts, the app provides a list of past trips as well as future ones, keeping things like hotel and flight details all in one place”.
