Leading flight comparison website Skyscanner has been recognized as the best metasearch flight comparison website at the Travolution awards, beating Kayak.com, Fly.com, Zugu.co.uk and Dealchecker.co.uk amongst others.
The awards were judged by a panel of proven business leaders, experts and entrepreneurs, with the winners announced last night at London’s iconic Battersea Power Station. Judges said that Skyscanner was “clean, easy to use and navigate around, and ticked the boxes in terms of originality of design and features.”
Skyscanner has over 10 million users per month and features 600 airlines across 670,000 routes including both traditional and no frills carriers. The calendar function which plots flights and prices day by day allows unprecedented pricing visibility for flexible travellers.
Commenting on the win, VP of Commercial Frank Skivington said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded this accolade against some extremely tough competition. We have recently managed to achieve the top spot for flight comparison in Europe and our next step is to become the number one worldwide.”
The win is the latest addition to Skyscanner’s recent accolades; the company were placed 21st in the Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track 100 making them the highest ranking travel company, and Skyscanner also scooped ‘best metasearch site’ in the Travelmole Web awards 2010.
