Want to surprise your LDR partner? Read on to know how.
Take them ‘Everywhere’. Literally.
What’s the most difficult decision when planning a surprise trip for your partner? The destination. To solve this problem, Skyscanner has this unique ‘Explore Everywhere’ feature. It lets you sit back and watch the app find the perfect places for you to visit.
When travelling on short notice, it becomes confusing to decide where to go. To make the best use of this feature, you only have to choose the city from where you are travelling and let the app do the rest. Apart from destinations, it also shows you the prices of places to stay nearby, making it easier to book on short notice.
One App, Multiple Cities
Travelling with your partner gets more adventurous when you’re hopping across multiple destinations. Most travellers use multiple apps, change destinations and cities, and make their travel planning more tedious.
With the help of Skyscanner, you can book multiple flights at one go and in the same app. You can book for a maximum of 6 flights and save on precious time. This feature lets you further streamline your travel booking process. It also prevents you from accessing different apps and wasting time.
Find out the cheapest time to travel
Last-minute surprise visits can be very heavy on your pockets, no matter how much you love your partner. To find out the best and cheapest time to travel, use the Skyscanner app to get an understanding of the best time of the month.
This feature lets you see early on the best dates to travel in a month, so that you can easily plan your surprises. It’s called the “whole month search” view, which displays all the best days to travel. While you may want to plan for overnight trips, this feature lets you pause and understand the situation better. This way, you avoid overspending and only focus on having a great surprise (or surprises) for your loved one.
From wishful thinking to Wishlist
LDR works best when you plan surprise trips together. To have a budget-friendly trip that involves the best of everything, you may start planning way ahead. You must find ways to convert your wishful thinking into a Wishlist that you can actually make happen.
Skyscanner has this amazing feature that lets you ‘Wishlist’ destinations with a tap on the ‘heart’ icon. You can save all your top choices for all the different trips you might be taking, and come back to them at one go. It saves time, makes your travel planning more organized and lets you breathe easier while planning your trip.
Track prices without losing track of time
The USP of surprise trips lie in its speed. How fast can you book the tickets, find the best spots, guides, things to do and just how fast you can scroll across multiple tabs. This, usually, is a recipe for madness. It leads to wrong decisions and missed opportunities.
With the unique “Price Alerts” feature of Skyscanner, you can easily focus on other aspects of your travel and stop worrying about tracking prices. This unique feature lets you compare prices, set notifications and be alerted when the price drops. It works on the app and website too.
