Skyscanner Introduces ‘DROPS’, A Real-Time Alert That Finds Flights 20% Cheaper Instantly!

Skyscanner launched an innovative new feature, Skyscanner DROPS, to allow travellers to get the best airfare deals with a click of a button. As a leading global travel marketplace that searches more than 80 billion prices per day, Skyscanner’s new app-only feature promises to transform flight booking for travellers. As per Skyscanner’s Travel Trends 2025 Report, the price of flights is the most significant factor in travelling for 62% of Indian travellers. With affordability being the foremost concern, this new feature makes it easy and intelligent to monitor and reserve the cheapest flight prices.

How Skyscanner Drops Benefits For Travellers To Save More

The Skyscanner DROPS function offers a simple way of discovering cheaper flights, allowing travellers to plan affordable vacations. With a simple login into the Skyscanner app, users can discover new DROPS daily—highlighting flights from nearby airports that have recently decreased in price. Through the DROPS feature, Skyscanner puts users ahead of the game in getting the best deals.

To celebrate the launch of Skyscanner DROPS, the website analysed data from January 2025 to provide valuable insights:

  • Friday registered the highest number of DROPS, thereby being the optimum day for budget flights.
  • 38% of all DROPS were released prior to 9 AM, which confirms early birds catch the worm.
  • Goa was the top local destination with the highest number of price falls, followed by Bangkok, Prayagraj, and Almaty.
  • Tokyo also saved the most in terms of the average amount, with tourists saving up to ₹20,988 on flights.
