With more and more people using their smartphones instead of their computers to browse the web, the companies and service providers across the globe are rushing to make available smartphone apps for their businesses. Recently, Skyscanner also launched yet another smartphone app to make it more convenient for its users to access its various services.
As many of you may already know, Skyscanner is one of the leading global travel search engines. Millions across the globe use it to find and book the most suitable flight, hotel and car hire for them. Skyscanner was founded in 2003 and gained quick popularity. It now claims to help about 30 million people every month in finding the most suitable and convenient travel options. The services of Skyscanner are available in 30 languages. Skyscanner is headquartered in Edinburgh and also has offices in Singapore, Beijing, Shenzhen, Miami, Barcelona, Glasgow Sofia and now Budapest.
Skyscanner already had an app to help users search and book the most convenient and suitable flight . This app enjoys good popularity and has been downloaded for more than 30 million times. Recently, Skyscanner launched yet another smartphone app. This app is to help the users find and book the most suitable hotel. The app promises to make available to users unbiased results to their hotel searches.
Talking about the launch of this new app, Kavitha Gnanamurthy Senior Marketing Manager, Skyscanner India, said, “With over 40% of Skyscanner’s visitors coming to us through mobile devices, we are excited to add this Hotels app to our offering. We found that often travellers may spend longer researching the perfect hotel than the actual length of their trip. The Skyscanner Hotels app aims to make that research time convenient and pleasurable – giving travellers all the tools they need, in one place, to be able to make the best choice, confidently and without hassle.”
With this app, users can search for a hotel from wherever they are. The app puts the photos of the hotels at the center of the app’s comparison feature. One can easily swipe through the images without needing to leave the search results page. Other tools bundled into the app include a map view to help the users get a better idea about the location of the hotel and the points of interest near it. Users can also save shortlisted options to make the final decision later. The app also has a side by side comparison feature to help the users compare their shortlisted options. Not only that, the app also gives the user access to live room availability updates.
All in all, looks like a very promising option to use to aid your search of the most suitable hotel depending upon your budget and other requirements. So if you are planning to go on a trip, then searching through the Skyscanner apps might be a good way to start.
The Skyscanner Hotels app is available for iOS and Android devices.
