Summer vacation season has officially begun.
But flight prices? Yeah… they’re already sky-high.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, especially if you haven’t booked anything yet.

That’s when I always turn to Skyscanner – the tool I trust most as a spontaneous, flexible traveler.

✈️ So What’s So Good About Skyscanner?

Skyscanner is a flight search engine that compares prices from airlines and travel agencies around the world.
Just enter your departure and arrival cities, and boom — dozens of flight options roll in.

But what I love most isn’t just the search… it’s the smart calendar feature.

✅ Best Price Calendar

“Which day should I fly to get the best deal?”

Skyscanner answers that in one glance.
The calendar shows the lowest prices by date, across a whole month.
That means you don’t have to pick a date first — you pick based on the best deal.

You can easily mix and match the departure and return dates for the cheapest combo.

✅ Mix & Match One-Way Flights

Another big win: Skyscanner isn’t just about round trips.
It lets you search and book one-way tickets freely.

For example:

• Fly out with Korean Air early in the morning
• Fly back late at night with AirAsia at a better price

You’re in control — match your flights to your schedule, not the other way around.
And even if the algorithm shows the cheapest pair, you can always pay a bit more to adjust flight times.

This kind of flexibility is hard to find with traditional travel agencies.

Sometimes the round-trip options all fly at awkward hours — so customizing departure and return separately makes all the difference.

Just note: on rare occasions, I’ve had to tweak the return airport filter (like choosing “Incheon” manually), so keep an eye on that.

🧠 Flight Prices Rising Mysteriously? Try Incognito Mode

Ever heard the rumor that flight prices go up the more you search for them?

It’s a common belief — and while there’s no hard proof for all platforms,
some sites might adjust pricing based on repeated searches.

So here’s a little trick:

📌 Use Incognito Mode when searching flights!

Keyboard Shortcuts:

• Windows: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mac: Command + Shift + N

It doesn’t always make a difference…
but honestly? Even just for peace of mind, it’s worth doing.

(But hey, I’m the kind of guy who just books it anyway 😎)
