Google brings airfare insights and travel recommendations to Trips

Summer is the season to travel to far-flung destinations, if the wisdom of the crowd is anything to go by.

The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that Americans take over 600 million long-distance trips between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend.

To help vacationers gear up for the busiest travel time of the year, Google today rolled out a series of updates to Google Trips, its one-stop itinerary planner on the web.

“We know that every day people are going to Google not just for help when they’re planning a trip, but also for when they’re actually traveling.

They’re figuring out the things they want to do, how to get there, what the weather [is like], and stuff like that,” a Google product manager told VentureBeat during a press briefing ahead of this morning’s announcement.

“The features we’re releasing [today are] around helping you plan and research … where to go.”
