Travel search is getting more conversational. Skyscanner is now operating its app in ChatGPT that allows Indians and people around the world to search for flights, compare prices and plan their trips through natural language.
What the integration brings
As a result, customers do not have to go through different websites one by one to make a decision. All they have to do is enter a question, like finding out about the lowest-priced flight between two places, and the answers would be given to them in an organised way. This is done using Skyscanner’s price comparison system, which uses listings by many travel services.
The system also allows ongoing interaction. Travellers can tweak dates, switch airports, or explore alternate routes simply by continuing the conversation. This makes the process more flexible compared to traditional search methods.
Speaking about the feature, Skyscanner’s Chief AI Officer Piero Sierra 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.”
