Google's Greatest Travel Hack Will Make Flights MUCH Easier

When you're in a hurry to find your personal flight info, it turns out you can turn to Google. Some users report that Google even tells them the weather in their destination, and when to leave for the airport in order to catch their plane. We could load up on apps till our phone's memory is full, but no trick will be as simple -- or as much of a lifesaver -- as this one. Cheers to simpler, smarter travel in 2015.

ITA Matrix Is The Magic Cheap Flights Site You've Never Heard Of
When shopping for plane tickets, we won't settle for anything but the cheapest deal. We've got our usual lineup of fare-finding sites to check, yet a nagging feeling always leaves us wondering if we really found the lowest price possible. Is there any way to know for sure? Yes, there is. ITA Matrix is probably the most efficient flight-finding site on the Internet, and yet you probably haven't heard of it. The ultra-smart software is what powers both KAYAK and Google Flight Search. For hard-to-find deals, it's crucial to add a catchall site like this to your usual flight-finding lineup. Whenever most Americans do a web search for airline tickets, they search the big three: Expedia, Travelocity, or Orbitz. You can't book directly through ITA Matrix -- but you can use it to zero in on your dream ticket, then head to that airline's site or hand things over to a travel agent (the site gives you the booking and fare codes that agents need to find the same deal).
