Can Google Flights find the best flight dates to a destination within a time frame? E.g. get flights to LA in a up to 15 day period with ensure attendance on 17 September. Fly with SkyAlliance airlines only. Flexible with any dates but needs to be there on 17 Sept and at minimum stay of eight days or more.
Love if it could help with that but I haven't figured it out with Google Flights yet. My dream is to tell an AI agent the above and let it figure out the best deal.
