Travel Helper: A Chrome Extension for Comparing Flight Prices
Travel Helper is a free Chrome extension developed by jeus1santiago. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically listed as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This extension aims to simplify the process of comparing flight prices by opening different booking sites directly from Google search results.
Google Flights is known for its user-friendly interface, allowing users to easily search for flights without having to navigate to a separate website. However, it often falls short when it comes to finding the best price. It may fail to display connecting flights, which can be crucial in finding cheaper last-minute trips. Additionally, it sometimes lists the same flights as other sites but at a higher price, typically ranging from 5% to 15%.
Travel Helper takes advantage of the convenience of Google Flights while harnessing the power of more robust sites like Skyscanner and Kayak to provide users with the lowest possible price for their desired destination. To use the extension, simply search for your destination using Google search. A small portion of Google Flights will be visible in the search results. Clicking "Show Flights" will display your current flight options. From there, you can filter the number of passengers, dates, and cabin class, and select which sites you want to compare from the extension's popup.
It's important to note that Travel Helper does not save any user data. It only gathers the information you input on Google Flights, such as passenger details, destination, and dates, to open your preferred booking sites for comparison.
With Travel Helper, finding the best flight deals becomes a breeze. Happy travels to all!
