Skyscanner is a useful tool for air ticket search and price comparison. It has a mobile app and an online official website for passengers to check at any time. It is the most commonly used tool for me. It is probably because of my personality that I want to go somewhere at any time. Discuss with friends When planning a trip in 2017, you can also check the air ticket price immediately, which is very, very useful.So this time I want to share how to use it and compare the experience of booking tickets.

A brief introduction to Skyscanner.
The Skyscanner air ticket search engine was officially launched in 2003. So far, it has reached 6 million monthly active users and more than 20 billion air ticket search requests a year. This travel tool currently supports 30 languages and serves users in 190 countries. Headquarters Based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
It was previously rumored that it was conducting an initial public offering (IPO). On November 11, it announced that it would sell to Ctrip, a Chinese online travel website, at a price of 23 billion pounds (about 14 billion U.S. dollars, NT$17.4 billion). It can still continue to be independent Operation, to provide passengers with air tickets, hotels and car rental three major travel search price comparison services, but after Skyscanner is included in Ctrip, it will start to integrate technology and booking system with Ctrip.

I don’t know if you have noticed here..., I chose the time range from 2017.4.1 to 4.9. Why?This is because there are consecutive Qingming holidays, and it is the cherry blossom viewing seasons in Seoul and Osaka, and the Songkran Festival in Bangkok every other week!It’s the best time for Taiwanese travelers to go abroad. Plan ahead, check tickets, book rooms, etc. Take Osaka Kansai as an example. I will remind everyone to book tickets in the club about mid-November. By the end of the month, I’ll write this article. 11 increased to 1 (it is very serious to implement the fare floating mechanism, as long as more people check the price, the ticket will be more expensive, especially during the cherry blossom season), so hurry up and see how to check and book tickets .

Conclusion
The use of Skyscanner's air ticket search and comparison tool itself is very careful:
1. The flight time of low-cost airlines is well understood, and it will only appear in the search results when you search: Take Japan as an example, the weekly flight times of various low-cost airlines are different, if you want to search for a certain airline in the section , You must first check the number of departures per week, so that it will appear in the search results.Of course, I would also think... Then just go to the official website to compare prices, and even track the fan club to know the promotion time and grab tickets.
2. Applicable to price comparison between traditional airlines and long-haul flights: In fact, this tool is more suitable for price comparison between traditional airlines. China Airlines, Evergreen and Thai Airways have intensive weekly flights to and from Asian cities, so it is better to check Ticket prices and time slots for festivals and consecutive holidays.However, this time I went to Germany, Skyscanner is easy to use...you can check transfer points, stay time, flight time, fare, etc. It is a travel tool with a Chinese language interface. If there are obstacles to viewing English websites, you don't have to be afraid to use Skyscanner.
3. Check and find, book tickets immediately without asking for help: In the past, people may use travel agency business or travel exhibitions to grab tickets, and the business window service allows them to make a little reasonable, but it may be that you are just starting a plan and want to know something first. Basic information such as the fare for a consecutive holiday, the difference between early and late return, etc., in order to prevent people from always checking the price for you, you can also use this to confirm your needs first, and finally book tickets through the website or ask business to book tickets. can.
The usage information and experience of this software will be updated continuously. If you have any questions, please leave a message to discuss and share with me. :)
