More airlines! Where's, for example, G4? And, being Google, can't you coax the prices out of WN? And yeah, international of course. Buy Skyscanner as well IMO.

What do you think?

Looks promising, but needs work. For example, I looked for flights from MCO to PHL on SkyTeam, returns 'no flights available', yet MCO ATL, and ATL PHL do return flights.

A price-o-meter kind of thing would be good.
After we put in our home airport and dates, one slider bar where the user can gradually increase the amount he is ready to pay for that period (say a weekend), and watch all the airport options appear or disappear.

Eg: On the sep 23-25weekend, I need a mini vacation with $200 - 250 to spend on flights. I am ok with MCO, PHX, SFO etc. The slider bar should allow me to see which options I have between that price range.

Im disappointed un the lack of availibility for the smaller airports in the NYC area (HPN and SWF)

I tried searching for both of these cities and it came up as unavailable, which is disappointing to put it lightly.


Also a companion app would be nice.

The power behind Google in air travel could be amazing.

Being able to search for multi-stops would be nice, but that goes with the ability to search for specific connections mentioned earlier.

1) international is a must.
2) same-day round trips.

I agree. If they have a special fares for me. Hoping if I can fly PHX-ATL-AMS-GVA on operating DL/KL. If I got a special fares to see my niece's 2nd birthday.

Yes! Why don't they just jump ahead and buy up a couple dozen A380's and 787's and launch Google Air? Or if they don't want to wait that long, just buy up United. Market cap $6.7 billion. That's pocket change for Google!

This could be Google's big opportunity to make a small fortune in the airline industry!

As one of our Eng Directors mentioned in the blog post announcing this feature, "This is just an early look: the takeoff, not the final destination! You may notice that at the moment we include a limited number of U.S. cities and show results for round-trip economy-class flights only. Were working hard to improve this feature and look forward to sharing more updates."

Stay tuned for some improvements!

Another vote for international and multicity searches. As it is it's pretty much useless for me. (I tried an international destination and then just left the site when I found it was US only. So, I can't comment on any features.) And I'm a Google stockholder, so I really want it to work!
