The Google Flights API provides comprehensive flight search and booking information, including one-way, round-trip, and multi-city flights. Access real-time pricing, flight schedules, airline information, and carbon emissions data. **Cross-linking**: - Use departure_token and booking_token parameters for pagination and booking flows - Departure and arrival IDs can be airport codes (e.g., "JFK") or city IDs with /m/ prefix (e.g., "/m/02_286" for New York) Dates must be in the future.

- **Tool id:** `searchapi-io-google-flights`
- **Provider:** [SearchAPI.io](/providers/searchapi-io)
- **Job:** [Google flights search](/reference/jobs/search-google-flights) (`search.google-flights`)
- **Price:** $0.004 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect searchapi-io-google-flights` prints its fields.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.
