Google Flight, through its artificial intelligence technology, releases the latest feature of predicting the delay or failure of a flight.
n addition to delay predictions, Google Flight also features features that tell economy-class passengers about what facilities they will and will not get on their flights.
These new features are launched a month after Google Flight adds an airplane price tracking feature to its app.
Here are the facts about the latest Google Flight features that will be useful if you plan to travel by plane.
bold1. Can predict delay before official notice from the airline
Based on data already collected by Google, especially regarding the flight delay pattern of a flight, Google Flight launches its own prediction regarding the delay or failure of a flight.
This delay can be caused by location, weather, and delay factor from the airlines themselves.
This prediction delay will appear when the user searches in the Google Flight application.
Not using the same data as the airline, Google Flight can predict delay ahead of the airline.
bold2. Google Flight only guarantees predictive accuracy of about 80%
His name is also predicted, there is a true possibility and there is also a possibility wrong.
For its predictive delay feature, Google Flight can guarantee only about 80% of the likelihood that the delay will occur.
Because there is still a possibility of 20% delay will not happen, Google Flight appealed to prospective passengers to keep coming on time at the airport.
bold3. Can describe what will and what will not get in economy class
Google Flight recognizes that for travelers with limited budget and backpackers, economy class aircraft are the best choice to save on travel costs.
Through the application, Google Flight describes what facilities will be obtained and also that will not get passengers in the economy class, making it easier for prospective passengers to choose which class is appropriate for their needs.
This feature is issued simultaneously with the flight delay prediction feature.
bold4. Pre-existing features: can predict when the flight price will go down
The feature launched a month ago is similar to the features offered by the popular Hopper app.
When travelers do a flight search, Google Flight will give you tips when the flight price will go down and also tell if the displayed price is cheaper than the usual price.
Of course this feature will also greatly help travelers who want to get tickets at the cheapest price.
