What edge does Expedia and other flight booking websites have over Google flights?
Google flights is a search engine, not a travel agency. Expedia and other travel agencies usually offer lower prices, because they cut a deal with the hotel/airline to handle customer service issues. It should come as no surprise, that this customer service is worse than dealing directly with the airline/hotel.
Quiet often I have seen the prices are the same..that's why the question
I like priceline express booking. It gives lowest price but no cancelation
Like all google products flight is shit
I am curious to know what you use for search and/or maps.
Apple and duck duck go
The interfaces of most aggregators are so terrible they give me cancer. So for the last few years I’ve been using Google flights and I’m perfectly happy with it. No clue why people trash it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Expedia is great for package deals. If you need only flights I find Google flights easier.
I would avoid booking through Expedia because for any request to customer care, I need to go through both Expedia and actual airline. Recently I had to spend two full days in changing my itenary. Now a days most companies provide the same cost options as Expedia if you book through them directly. Expedia makes money on the hotels business.
