We’re the travel company who puts you first
Travel your way
When we started in 2003, we set out to do things differently. When we started out in 2003, we wanted to create a simple alternative to the confusing sites that make travel feel like hard work.
Fast forward to today and we’ve gone from a flight search engine to a global leader in travel. We're proud that more than 100 million people across the world (that's quite a few!) rely on our app and website each month to help them with their travel plans.
Dedicated to making travel as simple as possible, we help each and every one of them find the best options across flights, hotels, and car rentals to book the perfect trip.
And we’re not stopping there.
It’s our mission to lead the global transformation to modern and sustainable travel.
What we mean by modern travel
Travel is all about freedom. So it makes sense that planning and booking your trip should be simple, not a chore.
We know you're looking for the best prices and most flexibility, to choose what's right for you. Which is why we're always hard at work to make sure our app and website are super straightforward and efficient.
Choose where you want to go, when you want to go, and get the very best price from thousands of sites, without having to look anywhere else. Plus, check out all the ways we can help you find a trip that's tailored to what you’re looking for, no matter your travel style or your budget.
Feeling flexible? Search ‘Everywhere’ to see where you can go for a great price. Got a destination in mind? Use our Price Alerts to find out when prices change.
And once you know when and where you’re going, book in just a few quick steps, whether on our app or website -- both of which are available in more than 30 languages.
What we mean by sustainable travel
Travel is one of life's greatest pleasures. And we want each generation to be able to experience that joy.
We give you all the options so that you can make the decision that’s right for you. That includes our 'Greener choice' label, which highlights the flights that emit less CO2 and we’ve already helped more than 10 million travelers select flights with the lowest emissions for their route.
It’s just the start, but we’re serious about sustainability and holding ourselves accountable. We buy sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to help offset any travel we do here at Skyscanner. We're a team that's committed to discovering new ways to explore the world in a way that benefits both people and places.
We also know we can’t solve this challenge alone. That's why we’re working with the Duke of Sussex and industry leaders, to form Travalyst. Together, we’re a catalyst for change, committed to helping everyone explore our world for generations to come.
Going beyond
We're on a mission to change how the world travels.
