About Skyscanner

The travel app that makes booking cheap flights, hotels, and car rentals easy.

What Skyscanner Is Used For

Skyscanner is a travel app for searching and comparing flights, hotels, and car rentals on an Android phone. Based on the metadata, it appears to help people plan trips by checking travel options in one place rather than visiting separate booking sites. The app category and short description suggest it is mainly used during trip planning, price comparison, and booking research.

The listed permissions fit a travel app that needs internet access, network status, and notifications. Location access may be used to help suggest nearby airports, hotels, or rental options, while notification permissions may support fare or booking alerts. Because it is a phone app, it seems especially suited to quick searches on the go, such as comparing departure dates, tracking travel prices, or reviewing travel choices before booking.

Common uses

  • Search and compare flight options for a trip
  • Look up hotel choices for different destinations
  • Browse car rental options when planning travel
  • Check travel prices from a phone while on the move
  • Use location-based suggestions for nearby travel options
  • Receive notifications that may relate to travel updates or alerts
  • Review and compare booking choices before deciding
Best for:
