Google has introduced a new tool that makes finding the best airfare deal much easier. Called, Google Flights, the new tool presents you a calendar of dates with the cheapest prices for your travel. All you need is destination and flexible travel dates.

"Regardless of which day you sit down to plan your trip, you can use the calendar in Google Flights to scroll through months and see the lowest fare highlighted for each day. If you're planning even further out, use the lowest fares graph beneath the calendar to see how prices may fluctuate based on the season, holidays or other events," Google announced in a blog post.

You can also set preferences like direct flights only and the calendar will adjust to show filtered search results.

In addition, Google Flights will also tip you like if you can save more by using a nearby airport or flying on a different day on the top of the results.

If you are not sure about the destination, Flights will also suggest you some. "But there are times when all you know is that you want to go somewhere. Maybe you want to go somewhere with a beach, but don't care if it's in Greece or the Caribbean. Or you want to visit Southeast Asia, but aren't sure which countries to visit," the post noted.

The service doesn't show if prices will drop in the near future, however, Bing and Kayak offer you with their predictions. Google points that such features aren't typically very helpful. "Though it's sometimes hard to pull the trigger because you're afraid the price will drop tomorrow (or next Tuesday, maybe?), our experience shows it's usually best to book right away," it added.
