Skyscanner

Airfare comparison site

Skyscanner is a travel search engine and comparison website that aggregates flight, hotel, and car rental prices from hundreds of providers.

Users enter their travel dates and destinations, and Skyscanner displays options sorted by price, duration, or other factors, linking out to airlines or booking sites to complete the purchase.

I found a cheap flight to Barcelona on Skyscanner.

The platform is particularly popular for finding budget flights and tracking fare changes over time.
