A lot of people use Google Flights to book their travel these days…but a recent viral video on TikTok has some people rethinking their ways.
The woman who posted the video wrote on the text overlay, “YOU’RE BEING RIPPED OFF BY GOOGLE FLIGHTS IF YOU DO THIS!!!”
She said, “There’s a Google Flights plugin that seems borderline illegal. Look, I love Google Flights, but sometimes it doesn’t give me the best deals.”
The woman explained that she used Google Flights to look at her options to travel from New York to Tampa and the cheapest flights offered were $98 on Frontier and $118 on JetBlue.
She said she then used a plugin called Travel Arrow on JetBlue’s website and discovered a hidden $50 discount that made the flight cheaper than what she found on Google Flights.
The woman then explained, “If you travel, you always need to go to the airline’s website and then download a plugin like Travel Arrow so the deals pop up right here. It’ll show you all the good deals, and this one expires today so run!”
Check out what she had to say in her video.

This person said they like getting cheap flights but they don’t like traveling on Spirit.
Another individual could have used this information yesterday.
And this person said Expedia is the way to go.
Gotta admit… I’m gonna try this strategy. It seems sounds.
