Google will help you find the best deal for your next holiday

Finding a perfect deal for flights and hotels while planning a holiday can be quite tedious at times. But, not anymore. Aiming to share some of your load, Google is rolling out a slew of updates to help you get the best possible bargain for your next hotel and flight bookings.

An automatic "deal" labels in searches would be seen whenever a hotel rate goes below the norm, and tips when tuning the dates of your stay could save you some extra money as per the new update. One can also filter hotel searches for very exact criteria – like a three-star hotel offering veg food at a particular destination. The tips and filters are only now rolling out (filters are limited to the US at first), but they'll be available worldwide over the course of the year.

No need to worry about flights as well. Google Flights is getting price tracking that can tell you when prices change for date and destination combos or specific flights. You'll only have to wait for an email or a Google Now card to know when it's time to take action. This tracking will only be available in the 26 countries where Google Flights is available, but it'll reach all of them in a matter of weeks.

Rest of the updates are primarily targeted at advertisers such as a companion banner that lets you browse their wares while watching YouTube. However, there is one big user-friendly upgrade in the works: it's testing a shopping tweak that shows currency conversions in results, so you'll know just how expensive that Canadian sweater would be if you bought it in the US.
