The changes to the appearance - more blue and more colour in general - might not be inconsistent, but the complete emphasis of form over function does seem inconsistent to me.
Also, a semi-frequent flyer colleague of mine just stopped by my desk to ask a question about flights and mentioned that he thought Google Flights - which he has only used sparingly in the past - looked "a lot worse" and was "much less user-friendly" lately.
