Google is rolling out new “agentic” features in its AI-powered travel tools that go beyond just helping you search: the AI will soon be able to book hotels and flights directly, not just show you options. The company has already introduced this functionality for things like restaurant and event reservations and is now extending it into full travel bookings. This shift means Google wants to act more like a travel agent—handling the whole process from search to checkout. The move could reshape how many people plan and buy travel by reducing the need to go through separate booking sites.
