13-Jun-2017 Pack your bags! Whether you're traveling from Wollongong to WA, or Tullamarine to Townsville, Google Flights will give you travel inspiration and surface the best available flight options. Starting today, you can search on Google for flights to a destination by searching for things like "Flights to Cairns" or "Flights to New Zealand". Or, you can go directly to google.com.au/flights to quickly and easily compare and book flights in $AUD - from your mobile device, tablet or desktop.

Still daydreaming about your next trip? Try using Explore to get ideas on where to go based on popular destinations. If you want to get away for a holiday next month just choose "July" and a trip duration like "2 weeks" to see the dates with the lowest prices to visit each place.

Once you select your departure and return dates, you'll be presented with a list of 'Best flights'; which represents the best tradeoff of convenience and price. Before you select a specific flight, you may see a notification bar with tips on how to find the best price for this route. Tips can include things like recommendations for alternate airports, suggest the cheapest dates to fly, or tell you about an expected price jump based on historic prices for that route.

If you're not ready to book yet, you can choose to track a flight and receive email notifications when prices are expected to change or when the price actually does increase or decrease significantly.

Whether you're ticking off your bucket list or taking a quick business trip, our goal is to help you find the best flight with confidence so you can plan, book and take off in a couple of clicks.

Happy travels!
