Google Flights is making it easier to book the perfect flight and keep your gadgets connected and powered on during cross-country getaways. The company has announced a new partnership with flight-rating service Routehappy that will bring those details and others to Google Flights search results. When planning a trip, the site will now clearly indicate whether or not suggested flights have Wi-Fi, in-seat power outlets, and other amenities — making it far easier to compare and chose the right airline. Here are a few more reasons why we love the aviation search engine.

If you’re looking for a great travel deal, type your request into the search bar (i.e., “Flights from New York to San Francisco”), then scroll through a calendar to see the lowest available prices highlighted for each day. You can also determine which flights are the best trade-off between price and convenience.

It’s OK to be vague if you don’t know where you want to go. Enter a region or country (i.e., “Flights to Paris” or “Flights to South America”) and Google will pull up a map that shows you each city with a little price underneath. You can then zoom in to find more information about those destinations, like when people are most likely to travel there.

Want everything organized and at your fingertips? That’s where the Google app comes into play. It searches your inbox to retrieve all your flight itineraries and display them front and center, then alerts you to flight changes and/or cancellations. It can even show you things to do in your area once you arrive.
