Same happens with me. Have you filed a bug report with Google? I just submitted on from my account.

I didn't consider it to be a bug, but I like that idea. Will do.

I'm becoming more and more suspicious of the Google Flight results.

It used to be they consistently returned the actual lowest fares available. I very rarely could find a fare cheaper directly on the airlines own website, and began to trust that google would find the cheapest fares at least for standard return trips.

I'm watching business class fares from the east coast to Asia, and I find that very often the google results may be "OK" but searching the carrier sites directly is resulting in many MANY lower fares that google flights is simply missing.
No tricks or codes or anything like that, and it's not a buck or two either, we're talking $500+ or ~10-15% difference. It's almost as if google isn't really searching "live" anymore.

Such a shame it's turned to garbage since the last forced update.

Has anyone been able to find a fix/ workaround for this issue? It's very frustrating when trying to book "segment runs".

Has anyone figured out how to specifically exclude an airline with the new GF?
I'm looking for a flight on JL metal, but when selecting "JAL Only", AA-operated codeshares show up too. It's making searching slightly difficult sorting through those options. Since I have to book Y, I don't want to subject myself to the AA 787 9-across torture tube.

You might also need a:-AA,-JL*-AA or some variation thereof involving the combination of AA/JL -- when clicking the various include/exclude options, the URL changes to that for some reason.

Has anyone figured out how to do airline alliance plus/minus partner airline (e.g. *A+AS or OW-EI)? I can avoid most of the mainline Chinese airlines by dropping connections listed in PVG/PEK, but it'd be a lot easier if I can also drop OZ without removing ICN connection options on SQ for instance.

While doing searches for the JFK-BUE deal on GF, I ran into a scenario I've run into before that's maddening. I clicked on an outbound date in the calendar that shows $756 and then chose a return with the same price. I saw $756 next to the DONE button in the lower right corner of the calendar window, confirming I'd chosen a good date pair. After I clicked on DONE, it started showing possible flights in descending price order as usual, starting with $756. Cool. Before I could even click on one of the $756 flights, it changed to a significantly higher price. Or, a couple of times I got lucky enough to snag a $756 outbound, but the return was well over $2K (even though I chose a date paring of $756). It happened over and over. This scenario doesn't happen often, but when it does it drives me nuts. Is it just that so many people are going after a deal that GF can't keep up, or what gives?

Not really GF specific as it relates more to Google Search. Has anyone noticed the knowledge graph on Google.com when searching for XXX to YYY (XXX/YYY being airport codes) is no longer showing all departures between two city pairs, but instead showing truncated Google Flights search box with only one line per airline?

Well, Google wants to limit the ways pax can find a better deal and hope they just click on whatever they are being served? Fair enough, it's a business after all.

But why they cannot do it in an efficient way?... Mobile version takes forever to load, all the colours and pictures take a third of the screen, everything moves while your're selecting your flights so often you're clicking on something you did not intend... and God forbid you accidently click on "show longer or more expensive flights" without applying any filters... You may as well close your browser and start over, it will be quicker. Not sure how any of this benefits anyone?

I've stopped using GF some time ago, and after checking it back again recently the good news is that after all the "enhancements" that devasted this tool, it now seems that it has been left alone. Who knows, perhaps Google's "continious improvement team" moved onto another victim.

Is there a way to search for a return fare with different cabins in each direction. For example J in one direction and PE in the other? Thanks... Jon

Try Kayak for this one.

Looks like GF rolled out another update in the last couple of days. There is now a lot less blue and it runs somewhat faster, probably because there are much fewer animations to load.

Is it just me?
In the past day or two, GF doesn't display the current price of tracked flights on the "Tracked Flights" page. It has the previous price for every flight stricken out, but not displaying the current price.
It seems to be a bug unless it's something wrong on my end.
Tried different browser and all had the same problem.
