Smart planning, smart tools
Imagine having your own travel agent that can analyze various flight options and recommend the most cost-effective itinerary. With Microsoft Edge, access to travel tools is easy via AI-powered Copilot. Think of Copilot as not just a tool with the intelligence to help you plan your trip, find the best travel deals, and book your dream vacation.
Planning a vacation involves more than just booking flights and hotels. You need to consider various factors such as destination, activities, and budget. Copilot can assist you in making smarter travel decisions by providing valuable insights and recommendations.
For example, if you're unsure about where to go for your next vacation, ask Copilot. Then, sit back while Copilot offers the following:
- Suggestions for popular destinations based on your preferences.
- Recommendations of activities and attractions at your chosen destination.
- Assistance with creating a well-rounded itinerary.
- Tips on the best times to visit certain places, ensuring that you have a memorable and enjoyable trip while avoiding crowds.
Copilot uses predictive websites to display flight prices based on calendar dates – all from within a Microsoft Edge tab. You can make informed decisions and avoid overpaying for your flights with Microsoft Edge and Copilot right at your fingertips.
Work seamlessly with extensions and travel apps
Microsoft Edge supports a variety of browser extensions that give you direct access to online booking tools. Browser extensions integrate directly within Microsoft Edge and add specific features and functionalities to make planning and booking seamless and more enjoyable. Here’s how:
Interoperate: Browser extensions are small software programs that work seamlessly with Microsoft Edge. Extensions add specific features or functionalities to give you seamless access to online travel booking tools.
- Functionality: Extensions like PlanMoreTrips can help you find the cheapest prices on flights and hotels by scanning multiple travel booking websites. Continue browsing in Edge while the extensions work for you in the background to provide real-time assistance and comparisons.
- Ease of use: Once installed, browser extensions are easily accessible from the Edge toolbar. You gain quick insights and tools – no need to open a separate application.
- Examples: PlanMoreTrips (free Edge extension helps find flight and hotel deals) and PayPal Honey (free Edge extension helps find coupons and discounts).

You can also use Microsoft Edge to access travel apps directly from your browser and keep track of your travel plans without switching between different apps. Travel apps are dedicated, standalone applications designed specifically for travel-related tasks.
Using Microsoft Edge with travel apps can make your travel planning more efficient and enjoyable. Here’s how:
- Compatibility: Edge is compatible with various travel apps, which makes it a versatile tool for managing your travel plans. Whether you're using apps like TripIt or Kayak, you can easily use with Microsoft Edge to streamline your planning and booking process.
- Comprehensive features: Travel apps often offer a wide range of features, including flight and hotel bookings, itinerary management, travel guides, and real-time updates. Edge and travel apps offer a more comprehensive travel planning experience.
- Accessibility: On the occasions when you’re traveling and don’t have internet access (and, therefore, can’t use Edge), you can access your travel apps directly from your device. Travel apps often offer offline capabilities, which helps assure you have the assistance you need when you’re traveling to exotic, remote locations.
- Examples: TripIt (for organizing travel plans), Google Travel (for booking and managing trips), and Kayak (for comparing travel deals).
Stay safe and private
When booking travel online, security and privacy are paramount. Microsoft Edge offers robust security features to protect your personal information and help provide a safe browsing experience.
