Is there any downside in using Google price guarantee when purchasing a flight ticket on Google Flights?
score:5
Accepted answer
There are advantages of booking directly with the airline. Probably the most important one is "single point of customer service", i.e. how changes, cancellations (from either side), operational issues, etc. are handled. It's also easier to manage the flight on the airline's website (seats, bags, frequent flyer stuff, etc)
It also appears that this is a way for Google to push Google Pay. This may or or may not what you want to do.
Another thing to check would be what exactly constitutes a price drop. Airlines don't actually "drop prices", the price goes down if they add inventory in a lower fare class. There are always subtle differences between fare classes and it's not clear how "apples to apples" the two prices need to be for the guarantee to kick in.
Google is a reasonably smart company: They wouldn't offer this for free, if there wasn't something in for them. Could be marketing budget for Google Pay, could be a kick back from the airline, could be something else that I'm not seeing.
