Skyscanner flies with Windows 8
Travel search site Skyscanner has launched a Windows 8 version of its flight search app.
The free app is available through the Windows Store to download on any device that operates on Microsoft Windows 8, including desktops, laptops and PC tablets.
For the first time, the Skyscanner app has built in free-text search (only currently available to users in English) to make the search experience faster and more intuitive.
For example users can enter "Flights to Spain next Tuesday back a week later", rather than completing several data fields, to search for flights.
The app itself is available in a range of languages across Asia including Chinese, Tagalog, Bahasa Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese.
The app also lets users pin and track flight searches to their desktop through live tiles, which are updated daily, to find the best prices to a range of destinations across a whole month or year.
Skyscanner’s travel search app has received over 11 million downloads.
The free app was first launched on the iPhone in February 2011 and is available on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and now on devices running Windows 8.
