Skyscanner: how to find a cheap flight in a couple of minutes

It's hard not to agree that traveling long distances is most comfortable on wings. There is only one problem: how to minimize the cost of the flight? With the development of the Internet, many things have changed, including the search for information. Now a person does not need to search for anything himself — specialized web services do it for him. We have found a very convenient service for searching and booking flights called Skyscanner and offer you an overview of its features, advantages and disadvantages.

Skyscanner

At first glance, the intuitive and unobtrusive interface pleases: we are not asked to register or enter tons of information. We simply indicate the point of departure and destination, and the choice is not limited to a specific airport. It is often more reasonable to set a more general parameter (for example, your city if there are several airports in it). Thanks to this, you can find a more profitable flight option. It also indicates consent to the offer of flights with transfers, as well as the number of tickets and age category.

When the route is determined, it's time to decide on the date of the trip. Very often circumstances develop in such a way that a person is willing to wait a few days for the sake of a more favorable ticket price offer. Skyscanner is able to search not only by specific dates, but also by periods per month and the whole year.

With such a selection, a menu will open in front of the user, where the most favorable offers for each day in the format of a table or calendar will open in a convenient graphical form.

We select the appropriate number of departure and, if necessary, return, after which the service will give options from all available airlines indicating all the details of the flight.

It remains only to view the sweetest ones by price and choose the most suitable according to the conditions. If desired, you can share the found offer in popular social networks. For example, air tickets to Istanbul at such prices may also interest friends.

For those who care about time or airline, you can sort offers by these criteria in the corresponding tabs "compare time" and "compare airlines".

Separately, I would like to note the choice of the destination of the flight directly on the map. When moving the cursor to the destination city, the availability of available flights and their characteristics are indicated. Thus, you can quickly assess the situation with ticket prices to all cities and countries of interest without having to enter the parameters for the filter a dozen times.

In addition to the browser interface, Skyscanner offers mobile applications for all popular platforms: iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Windows 8 and BlackBerry. It makes no sense to talk about them separately, since they actually duplicate the search functions through the site, providing a comfortable interaction taking into account the small touch screen.

Finally, I would like to mention some additional benefits of Skyscanner. On the service's website there is a section with guides for beginners in the field of air travel. This is very cool, because it will help to avoid many problems that people unknowingly face in the process of traveling by air. Another big plus: the presence of a built-in service for organizing a comfortable stay in the country and city of destination. Here you can book a hotel and rent a car.

Total

In general, the service certainly pleased. The offer filtering system, which seems too fancy at first, eventually justifies itself, allowing you to find a ticket that is completely satisfactory in all respects. I am very pleased with the absence of commissions from the service itself and the high accuracy of calculating ticket prices. In general, if you are planning a trip, whether it is a vacation or a working visit, do not miss the opportunity to save money.
