Skyscanner launches AI travel discovery and road trip planning tools

Skyscanner is beta testing two AI tools: Explore with AI for personalized destination discovery using natural language, and a road trip planner that creates personalized driving itineraries. Early testing found 60% of users clicked through to view flight options. The company also 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. CEO says AI aims to make travel planning and booking simpler and more intuitive.
