This appears to be a time-limited promotion. > When we predict the price won’t decrease for select itineraries booked between August 13 and September 2, we’ll guarantee the price won’t drop, and we’ll refund you the difference if it does.
Do they say if this is US-only?

#43Google putting the finishing touches om the ITA software acquisition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITA_Software But oddly closed google trips, which frankly was decent. Google sometimes seems like incoherent.
The Trips app may have been nice for having it all in one place, but it definitely wasn't a necessary part of the experience.

#44> Price guarantee is available between August 13th and September 2nd, 2019. You'll see the price guarantee badge on select flights where travel is completed by November 24th, 2019.
Still sounds like a great deal, but this explains why it's not a huge liability.

#45My question is, with Google's pretty much non-existent customer service (unless you're on G-suite), how difficult is the process going to be to get to a human if you want to make a claim that they weren't the lowest price?

#47How often do prices actually drop? I fly pretty often and I can't remember the last time I encountered a price drop on a flight over time.

I _hate_ flying solely because of the gambling mechanic built-in to the purchase.

The flight I want has been fluctuating between $400 and $700 every couple of days for the last two weeks. It's $729 now and I need to gamble on whether it will go back down and I should wait, or whether it's about to go up even higher.

#50I don't have enough knowledge on the matter, but I will absolutely use a different device and book directly on the airline's site to ensure I get the best price with no middleman fees.
