Being able to have access to Wi-Fi is something that has become increasingly vital to travelers, including those on airline flights. Now, Google Flights is partnering up with Routehappy, a service to help passengers know which flights will have Wi-Fi available, along with the availability of other amenities.
Routehappy is advertised as a rating service to allow users to locate the flights that are the happiest, hence its name. This includes being able to find amenities like Wi-Fi, bigger seats, more legroom, power plugins, inflight entertainment, freshness of the inflight foods and other wanted items.
Statistics show that those buying airline tickets want to know what flights have the best amenities and so Google Flights is now integrated with Routehappy to provide that service. The Routehappy platform rates the flights’ amenities based on the type of aircraft, its schedule, cabin size, and its route using Flightpad and then scores the happiness factors of each one for users to see and compare.
Google Flights itself can’t be used to actually make a flight booking or purchase a flight, but it looks through the search engine’s large database to help users to find the lowest cost tickets via the airlines themselves, as well as booking companies.
Google Flights then shows users which flights are considered as being the best, not necessarily the cheapest. It instead looks for the flights that combine the best amenities, as well as the best prices. It also has an option of letting someone put in a random destination choice if they just want to travel somewhere but don’t have a place in mind to go.
Since both of these services are now working together, users will be able to get even more data on the flights they are considering purchasing a ticket on before they buy them. This marriage of the Google Flights and Routehappy is meant to be a great service for customers and give them access to all sorts of comprehensive data regarding inflight amenities on various top airlines, as well as other data needed to choose a flight before buying a ticket.
Airlines these days are spending billions of dollars to get passengers to choose their brand for their travel needs. This means that passengers also need more access to discover what these airlines actually have to offer so they can have all the needed information to make a smart decision on how their travel dollars are spent.
Through the partnership of Google Flights and Routehappy, it brings these passengers an innovative tool to use that will quickly help them to pare down their possible flight choices and pick the flight they want that will give them the amenities they desire.
Google Flight Search originally started in 2011. Then, it helped people look for flights in one place instead of going to multiple places like Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline or Kayak. Now, since it is adding the partnership of Routehappy, it adds much more value to the Google Flights ability for travelers.
So, whether you are traveling on business or for pleasure, if you are concerned to know if you will be able to plug in your laptop, check your emails, or other such amenities, then go to Google Flights for that and more data.
