Are you finding the same specific flights have different prices on the two services, or are you finding that Hipmunk is able to find flights that Google doesn't?

(Disclaimer: I work for Google, on an unrelated project.)

Good question. I haven't gone as far as seeing if a specific flight has a different price or not. It is, however, from the same airline that Hipmunk has a lower price for. I do know that. I'm not sure if it's the same specific flight or not, though. I can look into it more...

In general, I based my original comment on what Google Flights show as the "Best Price" vs what Hipmunk is showing as "Best Price." And there isn't any filters on either platform that would be quick to explain why the huge price difference.

Since you've said it many times this thread, I'm taking the bait: I believe you mean "disclosure".
