It is a real pleasure to have the possibility today to manage your trips with a few clicks and without leaving home. All this process has been done by companies such as Skyscanner and its mobile version, which we will discuss in the following analysis.
With the application we can streamline the entire procedure in the search for flights and hotels, they have even added other products such as car rental. The platform usually updates the prices that are changing in the flight companies in an agile way, although there are some complaints that sometimes the waiting time can be long, or that an offer ends when users are already involved.
We are going on a trip
We simulate a simple flight from Granada to Barcelona. We simply enter the date, the destination and the app loads all the options that can be considered. We select, as normal, the cheapest possible flight. Once chosen, we are shown all the details of it: number of companions, where we would make the stopover, distribution of seats and other nuances such as Wi-Fi connection or food availability. From there it sends us to the agency’s website, where you only need to enter the bank details.
If we decide to stay a few days around the city, we have the option of searching for a hotel within the same application , either planned in advance or looking for rooms on the go according to our location. As the platform clarifies, it does not charge any commission for reservations.
If we want to go to a long-distance site, we can go to the car rental section and there will be all the options available, showing details about the vehicle model and where we can pick it up.
No problem if inspiration is missing
It may be normal that we are not yet clear about what your next destination is going to be, whether due to personal circumstances or pure uncertainty. Skyscanner has thought about such cases, whether we want to go as a family, as a couple or jump for a solo adventure. The Explore section can facilitate the search with the most recommended destinations and best valued by the community.
In addition, you have a price prediction to advise us if it is worth reserving a flight in advance or not, although for the moment it is in Beta , so keep in mind that there may be system failures.
