Skyscanner Product Release: AI Discovery, Live Flight Tracking, and More Ways to Save This Summer

Explore with AI Helps Travellers Turn Ideas into Personalised Trip Recommendations 

Available on Skyscanner’s website, Explore with AI is a travel discovery tool that helps travellers find inspiration using natural language. Instead of entering specific destinations and dates, travellers can describe what they’re looking for, such as “help me find cheap flights to Japan in December,” then receive personalised recommendations based on their preferences.  

The tool uses intelligent data-backed suggestions to help prompt travellers in smart ways, including destination preferences, travel dates, and travel style. Travellers can compare destination data side-by-side with a smart visual display of flight pricing, weather, flight duration, and destination vibes, alongside AI-generated insights such as “September is typically 24% cheaper than December” and “Best of both: beaches and family trips.”  

Early testing showed strong engagement, with 60% of travellers clicking through to view flight options generated through Explore with AI searches.*

Hit the open road with Road Trip Planner 

Designed to help travellers explore further and discover new destinations, Skyscanner’s Road trip planner creates personalised itineraries tailored to different travel styles, while helping travellers find the best car hire deal for their journey.  

Travellers simply enter their car hire pick-up location, travel dates, and preferred route type, then choose from AI-generated journey styles — Scenic Route, Fastest Route, Cultural Exploration, Adventure Trip, or Relaxing Getaway. Using these preferences, the AI creates a unique itinerary with stops, attractions, and points of interest, while recommending the best car hire options to match. 

Using these preferences, the AI creates a unique road trip itinerary, suggesting stops, attractions, and points of interest along the way, while also recommending the best car hire options to match the journey.
