Everyone enjoys landing a great travel bargain. Finding a discounted flight or a fantastic hotel makes your next adventure even more satisfying. At Skyscanner, our goal is for you to have that experience each time you travel. That’s why our platform is packed with features to help you discover top deals on flights, accommodations, and rental cars.

Skyscanner isn’t just a search site; it’s loaded with smart ways to uncover even more value. Whether you have a destination in mind or just want inspiration, our tools can help you plan a trip that’s both exciting and affordable. Use this guide to get the most from Skyscanner and become an expert at finding travel deals.

Get the Most Value by Staying Flexible

Being flexible with your dates or destination is the best way to snag deals, and Skyscanner is built to help you do that.

Not sure where to go but need a getaway? Try the ‘Everywhere’ search. Enter your local airport and select ‘Everywhere’ for your destination, then pick your dates. We’ll reveal a list of locations, from cheapest to most pricey. It’s a perfect way to discover unexpected getaways that fit any budget—and you might find yourself planning a trip to a place that wasn’t even on your radar.

Use the ‘Whole Month’ View for the Cheapest Flights

Already know your destination, but your schedule is flexible? The ‘Whole month’ feature lays out airfare for each day, highlighting the cheapest travel dates at a glance. If you want the absolute lowest fare, opt for the ‘Cheapest month’ search to see the best prices all year.

Let Price Alerts Do the Work

Airfares are always shifting. Instead of checking every day, set a Price Alert for the routes you’re tracking. Skyscanner will monitor fares and notify you the moment prices change, so you can book with confidence and never miss a deal. Set up as many alerts as you’d like to keep tabs on all your trip ideas.

Mix and Match Airlines for Even Lower Prices

Sometimes, building your own itinerary can save big. Skyscanner’s ‘hacker fares’ let you book separate one-way tickets with different airlines, giving you flexibility and often a better price than a standard return ticket. Our site automatically searches for these combinations and displays them in your results whenever they’re the best value option.

More Than Just Flights

Great deals don’t stop at booking a cheap flight. Skyscanner helps you save on hotels and car rentals, too. Compare rates from thousands of providers so you never pay more than necessary. Before booking a hotel, read reviews and use the map view for the right location. For car hire, check rental terms like fuel policy and mileage to avoid hidden charges. By booking all your travel arrangements through Skyscanner, you maximize value every step of the way.

Your Go-To Travel Companion

Skyscanner is more than a search engine—it’s your toolkit for savvy travel. By using features like ‘Everywhere’ search, ‘Whole month’ view, and Price Alerts, you’ll consistently find better deals and make your travel budget stretch further. Start your next journey using these tips, and see how easy it is to explore more for less.
