Google is working hard on artificial intelligence and made some adjustments to its Flights tool , the service for people who travel by plane. Now, it will predict and warn you about the chance of delays.

Google promises to predict with 80% accuracy which flights will not leave at the scheduled time. When the passenger wants to know whether their flight is delayed or not, simply search the application for the airline you will be traveling with, along with the flight number or route. With this data, the user receives all information about the status of his flight.


Since accuracy is not 100%, since Google uses flight history based algorithms to predict delays, all available takeoff and delay data are analyzed.

Google Flights will show this information for the time being only for American, Delta and United flights.

The Google flight search engine will use algorithms to avoid some pitfalls for those traveling by plane. While already showing delays whenever an airline makes them official, through the use of machine learning and flight data, the application will be able to make that data visible before there is confirmation from the airport.

Google Flights will still show the possible reasons for the delay, however, these predictions will only be shown if the system is at least 80% sure that the delay will happen.

In this way, you will also be able to access information about the company in which you are traveling, no longer having to go to their website to know, for example, how many bags you can carry.

The feature will be available soon, and for now, for flights in the United States.
