Google Flights Can Filter By Amenities Like Wi-Fi

(RTTNews) - Now "Google Flights" users can see and compare amenities by flight, including seat type, in-seat power, and Wi-Fi, thanks to a global data licensing agreement between Google, Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL) and Routehappy.

Google last month launched Google Flights, a new online flight search tool that makes it easy to find out the best flight deal.

The agreement between Mountain View, California-based Google and New York-based Routehappy facilitates the integration of flight amenity data from Routehappy's Scores & Happiness Factors API into Google Flights results.

Routehappy's Scores & Happiness Factor data is derived from two proprietary Routehappy systems, Flightpad and Flightmatch. Routehappy researches and verifies flight amenities by aircraft, cabin, schedule, and route on a constant basis from hundreds of disparate sources to create Flightpad, the most comprehensive, accurate comparable product attribute dataset for flights worldwide. Flightmatch is a set of powerful and intelligent algorithms that dynamically match and score Happiness Factors, duration, and ratings for billions of possible flight combinations.

"We know people are looking for more information about the flights they're taking before they buy, so integrating Routehappy Happiness Factors is a great addition to Google Flights. Now even more people have access to comprehensive flight amenity data and useful flight search information," said Gianni Marostica, Director Business Development, Travel, Google.
