Google has the (often implicit) permission of the website owner to scrape. OTOH, Google Flights explicitly disallows scraping results.

No, Google's scraping is opt-out only, which they offer to be friendly.

Google does not need anyone's permission to scrape publicly accessible data, and they are not required to follow any opt-out requests.
