Google Expanding AI Mode Bookings to Hotels and Flights

After launching AI Mode bookings for restaurants, events and beauty and doctor appointments in October, Google has announced plans to add agentic bookings for hotels and flights.

The new booking experience is first being enabled for US Google AI Ultra subscribers

This new rollout will add Booking.com, Choice Hotels International, Expedia, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to Google's list of travel booking partners that already includes OpenTable, Resy, Ticketmaster, StubHub, SeatGeek and Booksy.

Also last month Google announced launch of a new agentic commerce solution with with PayPal, which followed the initiation of an Agent Payment Protocol in September.

Although Google hasn't yet announced full details of its new booking ecosystem, it's been announced that users will be able to choose booking partners, and that those partners will manage all transactions and bookings without Google itself being in the loop.
