With easier navigation it allows you to search across multiple airlines, comparing flight prices for all budget airlines that serve the UK and Europe, utilising advances in search technology to provide more choice, in a simple, search engine format. Also catering for the browsing traveller who wants to be inspired, SkyScanner will display flight prices even if the only thing you know for certain is your departure country.

Director and co-founder of SkyScanner, Barry Smith says the new search engine will replace the existing site within weeks, adding “We put the link up to the Beta site in time for 1st Jan and the feedback response we have had so far has been incredible. This is just the start for SkyScanner in 2006 and the new version of the site will take us another major step closer to launching our fully comprehensive worldwide service later in the year. This year will see SkyScanner move from strength to strength, continuing to push the boundaries of the online travel search.”
