The Beckhams have a special member of staff who advises on, and then organises, their holidays. Sounds dreamy, right?

The problem is, hiring an entire person to organise your next trip isn't something that the average household budget can stretch to.

Luckily though, Google have just launched a new tool that might mean you don't actually need to – you can find the best deals and cheapest flights all on your own.

Introducing: Google Trips – featuring new and simplified tools to enhance the process of finding the cheapest trips online.

Not only does this help you find the cheapest flight, recently-added tools include a 'when to visit' tab that shows users the weather and how ticket prices vary throughout the year. Additionally, it has a 'what you’ll pay' tab that gives you an idea of whether the prices you’re seeing are low, typical, or high for the days you’re thinking about booking your trip.

Genius, right? Particularly as it means you won't need to spend hours and hours trawling through flight sites, desperately trying not to leave cookies hanging around so that the website adjusts your price accordingly (sites often increase the price of travel after you visit several times).

They've also personalised results, too. For users who stayed somewhere before or searched for places to stay, restaurants, or activities in a specific area repeatedly, the site can show you nearby options based on those previous search queries.

We're sensing a lot more smug travel photos in future...
