With price guarantee on Google Flights they will keep track of the fares each day and if the price goes down, you’ll be given the difference via Google Pay.

Google Flights is basically a travel agency. They get a commission from airlines when you book your flight through them.They believe through their algorithms of tracking flights they can GUARANTEE when the price is at the lowest. If they are wrong they get no commission from the airlines from you booking through their portal and they will eat the fare difference and give you the money back.

Here are some things to know about price guarantees on Google Flights:

• To see guaranteed flights, make sure you’re signed into your Google account and that your country/region is set to the U.S. and your currency is in USD.

• The price guarantee only applies to one-way and round-trip flights that depart from the United States.

• You must book the flight with Google. You’ll see a “Book with Google” button below the itinerary. If you don’t see that option, along with a colorful price badge, it won’t be a guaranteed flight.

• To get money back, the price difference between what you paid for the fare and what the price drop is must be greater than $5.

“You can receive up to $500 back per calendar year for up to three open price guaranteed bookings at any one time,” it says on Google Travel’s help page.

Even though this is only a pilot program, airfare price guarantees are a money-saving feature you’ll want to take advantage of. So while our goal is to offer the price guarantee for as many routes and airlines as they can, right now it’s only available for airlines that use Book on Google. As of April 2023, you're “most likely” to see it on itineraries on Alaska, Spirit, or Hawaiian Airlines “although that’s not an exhaustive list.”
