Google's Flight search tool expands internationally


The Web giant Google has recently announced that its Flight Search tool can now be used to find and compare flights to more than 500 airports outside of the U.S. With the update, users can find flights departing from the U.S. to destinations around the world, including Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, and Venice.




With the tool, users can click various cities on the map to see the different flight options available  almost instantly. Google is working to expand its global coverage and plans to add more international destinations in the future.
. The tool can also be used to compare flights to a certain destination by date.
Last month, Google extended Flight Search to mobile devices. Users can now access Flight Search (available at google.com/flights) using the Web browser on their Android and iOS devices.
Google launched a desktop-only version of Flight Search in September. But the Web giant's move into the travel space has been somewhat controversial.
Its acquisition of ITA Software last year threatened travel-industry rivals like Kayak, which petitioned regulators to block the deal. The Department of Justice ultimately approved the acquisition, however.
