Google Flights Scraper

Scrape Google Flights for flight search results in batch, with filters for stops, price, duration, airlines, cabin, passengers, and departure/arrival time windows.

Why use this scraper?

• Fast: quick results with low overhead
• Batch searches: run multiple route queries in a single actor run
• Filter control: stops, price, duration, airlines/alliances, departure/arrival time windows
• Cabin & passengers: economy/premium/business/first, adults/children
• Structured output: typed FlightResult records with segments, layovers, CO2 emissions

Not available in this version: calendar prices, explore-cheapest-destinations, full booking details (fare rules/baggage/links), the full "show all results" list, searches including infants, and the round-trip return leg. These options are accepted but skipped at runtime. Round-trip searches return the outbound itineraries priced at the round-trip total (return is null).

Use cases

• Monitor flight prices across routes and dates
• Build fare databases for travel analytics
• Compare prices across airlines and alliances
• Track cheapest nonstop options on specific corridors

Filters (maxStops, maxPrice, maxDuration, airlines, time windows) and sortBy are applied to the returned results (~30-40 per search), so very narrow filters may return few rows.
