New Skyscanner travel tools have been launched to assist travelers with summer trip planning.
The global travel platform, which serves more than 160 million monthly users, introduced several experimental beta features. These updates aim to simplify flight, accommodation, and car rental searches. According to the company, the platform scans over 100 billion prices daily to provide options for users.
1. Explore with AI
The “Explore with AI” tool uses natural language processing to suggest destinations. Currently available in English-speaking markets, it provides visual comparisons of flight prices, weather, and travel times. Initial tests conducted with 14,000 English-speaking travelers between April 28 and May 5, 2026, showed strong engagement. Specifically, 60% of users proceeded to search for flights after using this feature.
“We focus on developing tools that help travelers plan and book with confidence. We continue to explore the possibilities of artificial intelligence to make every stage of the journey easier.”

A new flight tracking tool provides real-time updates on flight status, gates, and baggage carousels.
