One incredibly irritating thing about Google Flights is it ignores and overrides my currency settings every time. And often my language settings too.
At least on Safari.
No combination of being logged into Google and selecting the currency in the sidebar will result in the currency, rather than the local currency, being set for next visit.
That means every single use of Google flights involves going to the sidebar to set currency, either first or more likely upon searching.

One time I was in a foreign country but looking for hotels on Google Maps for a future weekend getaway in my home country. Despite being logged in and Google having my home address, and with each account needing a country to comply with differing data protection laws, it was still showing me prices for hotels in my home country in the foreign country's currency. Helpful? Not!
