Taken from https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/6017-advanced-google-maps-and-now-apple-maps-search-workflow-version-201-double-major-overhaul-release-12-january-2018/?do=findComment&comment=58106

By the way, would there be scope to include a modifier ‘fly’, which currently doesn’t seem to be in place? Maybe it is different for that one? It is just that google has a symbol for fly options in directions, so I was just wondering about this possibility.

I had a look at the API reference as I didn't remember seeing that as an option. At this point in time, there is no option to force the flights as a travelmode at this time https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/guide#directions-action. 

Therefore, I have requested this to be added to the Google Maps URLs on the Google Issue Tracker. Starring it over there would be helpful, as would be adding your +1 here if you would like to see this feature.
