The Google Flights app helps you not only choose the best flight, but also the one in which you can travel most comfortably.

In this article:

    The beauty of traveling is having new experiences, visiting places never seen before, learning about different cultures and making new friends. But, let's be honest, the beauty of traveling is also. Being able to do it on a comfortable and spacious plane, where, for example, there is enough leg room.

    It is just very difficult to know in advance what conditions we will be traveling in, so as to guide our choice of flight to book. Luckily, Google Flights comes to our aid, the Google app that easily and quickly provides us with all the essential information we need to choose which tickets to buy. Now, thanks to the Legroom extension, you can also check how much space we would have available in our place!

    Legroom is not a standard service of Google Flights: is optional, but absolutely free. Just go to the Google store and download it freely on Chrome. At that point, once we switch to Google Flights, the app will also provide us with information on how much legroom we will have in each of the various flight options, before we proceed to purchase tickets.

    In fact, the space between seats. can already be verified on the app, simply by expanding the details of each flight: in fact, a number in centimeters is given, representing the distance between a point in the seat and the same point in the seat in front (so it does not tell us how much legroom we actually have).

    Another limitation of the basic version of Google Flights is that, precisely, we have to check flight by flight, individually, for details. With the Legroom extension, however, this space is clearly indicated for each flight in the main results screen, allowing us to make a quick comparison of possible flights. In addition, the app indicates in green those with more space and in red those with less, providing us with another help.

    Benefits even for those traveling in business class

    This extension for Google Flights is obviously designed for those traveling in Economy Class, but it has benefits for Business Class travelers as well. For those who perhaps take very long trips, it may prove necessary to get some sleep during the flight, but we often run the risk of running into less than comfortable solutions.

    Here then is where Legroom comes in handy again. It signals us, next to each flight, Whether it is set up with seats that recline only partially or fully. He even tells us whether the plane offers the option of choosing a seat that includes an actual bed, instead of a reclining seat. In fact, one can choose a kind of "mini-suite" For one's own flight.
