Travel metasearch engine Skyscanner has officially launched its app within ChatGPT, allowing users in India and globally to search, compare, and find flight options using natural conversational prompts in the popular chatbot. With the new integration, users can find flights, compare prices, and adjust travel details by giving simple instructions to the chatbot in English or their preferred language.
What does the Skyscanner app on ChatGPT offer?
According to Skyscanner, the results from its app on ChatGPT use the company’s existing pricing and comparison engine, which aggregates options from a wide range of travel providers. Users can further refine their search by modifying dates, destinations, or airports in follow-up messages.
Skyscanner’s Chief AI Officer, Piero Sierra, while talking about the new feature in a statement by the company, said, “We’ve been at the forefront of cutting-edge flight search, ensuring that travellers have all the right tools to reduce friction and give them more confidence in finding the right flight for them. Travellers can now access the Skyscanner app in ChatGPT to search for the best options and flight prices for their trip.”
In its 2026 Travel Trends report, Skyscanner had noted that 86% of Indian travellers feel confident in using AI to plan their trips. The company already has a ChatGPT-powered Savvy Search feature in the app that lets users find curated destination ideas along with flight options.
