Skyscanner is a global travel search engine that helps users find and compare prices for flights, hotels, and car rentals by gathering data from many travel providers and showing real-time results. Users enter travel details, and the platform queries partner databases to return options with filters and price alerts, earning revenue from affiliate commissions and advertising when bookings are made through its links. Unlike others, Skyscanner combines flights, hotels, and car rentals in one search with wide provider coverage and live pricing in an easy-to-use interface. Its goal is to make travel planning easier and cheaper by delivering fast, transparent price comparisons that drive bookings through affiliate partnerships and ads.

Skyscanner launches ChatGPT app for AI-powered flight search

Scottish travel tech company Skyscanner has launched an app in ChatGPT, allowing users to search for flights using natural language requests and receive tailored trip planning responses. The app is powered by OpenAI's flagship generative model. Skyscanner, which claims 160 million monthly users, says it will continue evolving travel search beyond traditional form-fills towards dynamic, answer-led experiences. Chief AI officer Pierro Sierra stated the company will scale natural language search with explainability and expand agentic scenarios where trust and economics align. The launch reflects a broader industry shift towards conversation-based service searches. Earlier this month, property platform Rightmove announced it would integrate Google's Gemini AI technology to enable natural language search requests and personalised results.

Skyscanner reveals 10 cheapest destinations for 2026, with Las Vegas topping list at $232

Skyscanner has released its 2026 travel trends research identifying the cheapest destinations for American travellers. The travel app analysed millions of bookings to compile a list of 10 budget-friendly destinations, all featuring average roundtrip prices under $560. Las Vegas topped the list at $232, followed by San Salvador ($282) and Miami ($284). Other destinations include Kahului, Orlando, San Juan, Punta Cana, Mexico City, Cancun and Milan. The research found that whilst 44% of Americans plan to travel abroad this year, only 53% have booked flights. Destination indecision affects 43% of travellers, whilst 36% are searching for better deals. Skyscanner has launched a Cheapest Destination Planner tool to help travellers find affordable options. The company's data reveals Wednesday is the cheapest day to fly, though only 25% of Americans identified this correctly.

The Importance Of Using Data To Empower Travelers

Many who have left the travel industry often end up back in the industry because they love its ever-changing nature, the people and the dynamics.Filip Filipov, a former vice president of Skyscanner, left travel more than four years ago, and is now back as chief operations officer of airline data specialist OAG.He joined us in the PhocusWire studio during The Phocuswright Conference in November to discuss what he has observed about the industry from the outside looking in.New LinkFilipov spoke about how some of the same challenges persist as well as the pace of innovation generally.He went on to discuss the "paradigm shift in the usage of data" that he is seeing and how projects that were being talked about five years ago are now happening.Filipov also said he's watching to see how improved access to, and usage of, data will be applied to the travel B2C and B2B worlds going forward, especially as AI developments take hold.He also touched on AI agents in travel and said he doesn't believe they will proliferate that quickly."The missing component here is nailing the customer journey and having enough data to actually power it. The more information you have the better the experience you will give."Watch the full interview below.Executive Interview: An outside perspective on travelVIDEO
