SKYSCANNER has combined functions from its standalone hotels and car hire mobile apps into its existing flight app.

This saves users the additional step of re-inputting check-in times, destinations, pick up locations, and more when making a transaction.

As part of the update, the hotel booking view also got a revamp to now offer brief snapshots of key information such as images, reviews and price.

Flight search got more efficient as well, as updated search parameters now automatically load in the background to reduce waiting time.

A new Explore Top Deals section further allows users to filter their searches according to preferences, including for summer holidays and last minute getaways. Users can also sort their search by a timeline view which arranges results by date.

“At Skyscanner we believe it’s important to continue to innovate and develop technology as the needs of our customers evolve,” said Balint Orosz, head of app product, Skyscanner.

“We’ve incorporated all of the learnings and user feedback from our standalone hotels and car hire apps into this new, upgraded offering, making it the ultimate app to serve all your travel needs.”
