Google Search AI Mode adds travel planning tools

Google is rolling out new travel planning features within Search, introducing AI Mode capabilities designed to help users manage hotel bookings, track airfares, and check loyalty rewards without leaving the results page.

• Google Search AI Mode now handles hotel bookings and airfare tracking directly in the results interface.
• Users can view and manage their miles and rewards seamlessly within the updated search ecosystem.
• The update represents another step by Google to keep users inside its walled garden rather than sending them to third-party travel sites.
