Skyscanner tie-up opens up multi-carrier itineraries on Star Alliance site

Star Alliance partners with Skyscanner on multi-carrier itineraries

Star Alliance has partnered with Skyscanner to allow travellers visiting the Star Alliance website to search for flights, view airfares and book them directly with its member airlines.

This feature, accessible alongside the lounge finder, flight status and other journey-related services, utilises Skyscanner’s fare search, linking directly to the alliance’s member carrier websites for purchase.

With more than 18,800 daily flights to over 1,300 airport destinations in 193 countries, the alliance says it now offers coverage to 98 per cent of the world. The new capabilities would allow customers to more easily find global connections that meet their needs.

“By introducing the alliance carrier fare search feature, made possible through our Skyscanner partnership, we are responding to our alliance customers’ feedback, offering a service which allows our members’ frequent flyers to easily book with Star Alliance member airlines and enjoy Star Alliance benefits”, said Jeremy Drury, director digital & e-services for Star Alliance.

“Anything that is bookable on our member airlines’ websites can now be reached through our site.”

The new website search capability is one of several digital initiatives the alliance is developing with its member carriers to place capabilities in the hands of its customers. These include services such as interline baggage tracking, interline seat assignment at time of reservation, lounge and Gold Track security locations, and frequent flyer membership number validation.
