Skyscanner launches AI travel discovery and road trip planning tools

Skyscanner is beta testing two AI tools: Explore with AI and a road trip planner. Explore with AI allows users to search for trips using natural language, such as 'cheap flights to Japan in December,' and provides personalized recommendations. Early testing found 60% of users clicked through to view flight options. The road trip planner creates personalized driving itineraries based on preferences and surfaces car rental options and stops. Additionally, Skyscanner expanded DROPS flight deal alerts, enhanced Flight Tracker, and rebranded its accommodations platform as Stays, increasing inventory from 3.5 million to over 5 million properties.
