Overview
Skyscanner is a leading global travel search site, a place where people are inspired to plan and book direct from millions of travel options at the best prices.
They are unbiased and free, which means that the 60 million people who use us every month can trust their comprehensive range of flight, hotel and car hire options.
Their secret is in their unique proprietary technology that connects people directly to everything the travel industry has to offer. They also power travel search for over 1200 partners through their Skyscanner for Business products.
Their highly-rated free mobile app has been downloaded over 70 million times. They’re global but local and their products are available in over 30 languages and 70 currencies.
Founded in 2003, they employ over 900 staff, with offices in Barcelona, Beijing, Budapest, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Miami, Shenzhen, Singapore and Sofia. Skyscanner is part of the Ctrip group.
Skyscanner is always free for travellers and they never charge travellers commission. They work with their airline and online travel agent partners in a number of ways: some partners agree to give Skyscanner a commission for every booking made through us or for every time travellers visit a partner’s website. Other partners advertise on the Skyscanner website and app. They always make sure any adverts are labelled or separate from any search results so users know exactly what’s what.
