Google is helping travelers save money with a new Now card that tells users when a price has dropped on a flight.
According to this Google+ post, you can tap the card to display the Flight Search info and book your trip from there. It only works if you’ve searched Google Flights on the most recent version of Google’s Android app, and if you’re in the US.
It’s worth noting not all airline fares display via Google Flight searches. For example, Google Flights will display Southwest Airlines flights, but without price details.
