Google Flights Lands In Malaysia

(Marketingmagazine.com.my) – Whether you’re traveling from Penang to Perth or Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, Google Flights can offer help for one to find the best flights available. Starting today, anyone can search Google.my or www.google.com.my/flights to quickly and easily compare and book flights — from your mobile device, tablet or desktop. And you’ll be able to see local content and pricing in Ringgit.

Still trying to figure out where you’d like to visit and the best time to go? Try using Google’s new flexible destination search feature that lets one explore based on dates, destinations and interests like: beaches, adventure travel, honeymoons and food.

A fun and easy way to explore options is to set one’s interest and expand the map by selecting “Explore destinations”. On display instantly will be live prices for destinations that meet the person’s interest category around the world. One can further filter results based on preferences and personal budget requirements.

Perth sounds nice — and it looks like you can get there on a nonstop flight in under 6 hours.

Once you select your departure and return dates, you’ll be presented with a list of ‘Best flights’; which represents the best trade off of convenience and price.

Google Flights can also help save time when one knows where to go and when. Say you’re commuting on a popular route — like Kuala Lumpur to Singapore — that has multiple, similarly priced, nonstop flights daily. Enter your origin, destination and dates and on display will be all the similar flights available on an easy to scan timeline. They’re grouped by airline, price and number of stops which makes it easy for one to consider options and book the one that best meets one’s needs.

When you’re ready, simply select your outbound and return flights — and book your flights by clicking on one of the blue partner book buttons.

The goal is to provide fast results when planning domestic or international trips with Google Flights!
