Skyscanner named best airline search engine
With several features, the platform helps the traveler to find cheap flights quickly and uncomplicated
Voted by the public as the Best Airline Seeker in the Best of Travel and Tourism Award 2019/2020, Skyscanner was born out of a frustration: the difficulty of finding cheap tickets with ease. One of its co-founders and current CEO, Scotsman Gareth Williams, spent hours looking for deals on airline websites and ended up comparing them on the nail. One day, back in 2013, tired of going through work, Gareth called two more friends to build a tool that could do the job.
Seventeen years later, Skyscanner is one of the leaders in the flight search market. Present in 52 countries, there are 100 million monthly users worldwide. 'In the past two years, we have sold £ 49 billion in airline tickets and, every month, we have helped over 14 million passengers to fly - more than many airlines in the world,' says Tahiana Rodrigues, communications and marketing manager for the Skyscanner.
It is no exaggeration to say that the tool is one of the main responsible for reshaping the way we travel. That habit of opening dozens of browser tabs or relying on third parties to find the best rates is behind us. The Skyscanner engine makes all the comparisons and presents the options in seconds and without stress.
From the search result, the user is redirected to a website that can be owned by an airline, a travel agency or a company that sells miles, where they can then buy the ticket at no additional cost. Skyscanner's remuneration comes from a percentage that is paid by whoever sold the ticket.
The company, which in the beginning worked only with the search for flights, expanded: currently, it also deals with car rental and accommodation. There are 1200 partners, between airlines and travel agencies, gathered on the platform and available on the website and the application (for iOS and Android).
Thousand and one search features
One of the differentials of the search engine is its tools and filters, which allow you to find the lowest prices and the best dates to travel. Among the platform's features, we highlight:
Search 'Month by month' and 'Cheapest month'
You already know where you want to go, but you have not yet defined when? These two filters are ideal for those who have flexible dates when traveling and want to find the lowest price available.
In the option 'Month by month', the user has an overview of the prices of the chosen month, without having to select dates. The search shows the prices of each day, in calendar or graph format - so you can choose which dates of a given month are most worthwhile.
The 'Cheapest month' is an interesting resource for those who don't have a date in mind. The search takes the user directly to the calendar or graph (you choose) of the cheapest month with the respective rates.
