Skypicker Offers Budget-Friendly Airline Tickets for European Travelers

New flight search tools gives North American travelers a European travel deal

LOS ANGELES, CA, July 26, 2012

Budget-conscious travelers to Europe now have an easy-to-use, low-cost method of searching for and booking airfare between countries in Europe with the launch of Skypicker. This user-friendly European airline ticket search engine finds the lowest fares available across Europe's major discount airlines, allowing travelers to compare costs and book flights at the best possible rates.

Unlike competing search engines, Skypicker appeals to passengers who want to fly on a budget and are willing to handle layovers. Most flights found using the Skypicker search engine range from 10EUR to 50EUR (approximately $12 to $61), but can sometimes dip as low as 5EUR (approximately $6). Selected flights or trips can be booked directly on the Skypicker website and paid securely via credit card.

"Our typical user is a student or backpacker who has plenty of time and wants to discover new places," said Oliver Dlouhý, CEO of Skypicker. "Unlike other search engines, Skypicker works extensively with connecting flights. The site combines discount offers of various low-cost airlines so the final price of the whole trip is less expensive."

Skypicker's low-cost airlines include Ryanair, Wizzair, Easyjet, Smartwings, Transvia, Vueling, Belleair, BMIbaby, Aer Lingus, Air One, Volotea, Iceland Express and Air Iceland. More than 300 million passengers flew with these carriers in 2011, approximately 25 percent of which were students or backpackers, according to Skypicker's market research.

Skypicker is available in English and eight European languages with additional languages to be added, enabling passengers from around the world to take advantage of this service.
