Google Flights Is Now Live!
Plenty of great flight research features (search for lowest cost desired length of trip over many months, search for flights to any city, search for a specific airline alliance, search for specific connection cities, length of flight/cost graph, etc) in a package that may be easier for many people to use then my personal favorite airfare search engine, the ITA software tool that it draws its functionality from.
When you find a flight you want you can buy it directly from the airline.
Think it will be useful for you?

I think I found a glitch. It does not let you search for a return flight on the same day. It automatically puts the return a day later and you can’t change it

Besides the map I don’t see any advantage over Kayak.com. Am I missing something?

Yup, this is obviously still in its infancy.
All of the info is culled from the ITA site I linked to, which is by far and away the most powerful flight engine out there.

for map on kayak try kayak.com/explore. However Google updates prices in real time. Seems to have a great potential.

I tried it and when it sent me to JetBlue’s website none of my flight info was there. I had to start over.

I tried to find a flight from NYC to Chicago and it said no flights were available. Funny, American and United have flights every hour from LGA to ORD. Major glitches in the system.
