Long summer vacations mean two things for college students – trips and internships. One last trip before the semester ends, and everyone goes their own way. The ‘I received my first stipend’ trip. The ‘let’s explore around in the first year’ trip. More often than not, these trips stay inside inboxes. Unlike a lot of other travel booking sites and apps, the Skyscanner app has several features that actually make the trip happen. 

Read on to know more about how you can finally book that budget summer getaway.

When you are busy fixing your gadgets, frantically checking the group chats for any last-minute changes and simultaneously hoping that your parents never find out, how will you track flight prices?

Skyscanner has the perfect solution for such situations. Choose ‘Price Alerts’.

This unique feature notifies you about price drops in your chosen flight sector. This way, you don’t lose out on good deals, and also take care o

Travel booking apps often confuse you with their options and sometimes lack them. You don’t always get the correct filters and end up making poor decisions based on half-baked filters.

Skyscanner has a set of filters that produce streamlined results, aligned with your needs. The filters are spread across certain criteria that help you find the best match for your trip. This extremely user-friendly interface makes your planning smoother and faster.  

Sometimes you are too excited to even know where to go. You either end up at the same places or choose not-so-fun places. Skyscanner has an exciting solution for such situations.

Once you open the app, choose the ‘Explore Everywhere’ option. This intelligent Search tool shows you destinations that you can visit. You just have to choose your origin and cheapest month (if you want) and choose ‘Anywhere’ or ‘Everywhere’. That’s it. No specific destination. 

This particular feature opens up new, unseen destinations for you and keeps your itinerary flexible.  

The easiest way to save money and actually make a college trip happen is to plan it way in advance. Find the long weekends, the short ones, off-season calendar dates and get an idea of the best time to travel. 

But how will you know exactly when to book that flight?

The Skyscanner app and website have this incredible feature that lets you check prices for the entire month. This lets you plan everything early on – money, accommodation, flights, any extra tour and much more. Getting an idea about the cheapest time to travel helps you to plan for now and the future as well. After all, a budget trip has to be planned within a budget.

Travelling to A, but B also seems like a great place to be? Wishlist for later! How?

Skyscanner has a feature that lets you save and Wishlist destinations for later. You can even save a place near your chosen destination and change your itinerary whenever necessary. Just a tap is all it takes. This helps you to get price alerts about that place as well. 

This Wishlist feature helps you to travel better, quickly explore nearby spots and plan for future travels. By using this, you don’t have to keep searching for newer places each time you want to go somewhere. Saves you time and money.

You can’t make travel decisions without comparing multiple websites, right? Skyscanner lets you compare prices without leaving the app even once. 

With this feature, you can compare the ticket prices across different websites along with the cancellation charges involved. One of the biggest benefits of using this feature is that it saves time by bringing most websites under one and helps you book faster.
