About Skyscanner

Skyscanner officially launched in 2001, and offers users the unique option of being able to enter the departure city, while leaving the destination blank. This feature is perfect for those people who know they want to take a trip, but can't decide where to go.

In addition to their easy-to-use website, Skyscanner has also created free travel apps for both iPhones and iPads. These little apps allow you to search millions of flights, across 1,000 airlines, right from your iPad or iPhone. Combined, they've got four million downloads, and counting.

If you're not already familiar with Skyscanner, entering this contest will be a terrific introduction. And we made it as easy as possible. Seriously, if you have 5 minutes to spare, enter this contest right now!

  16. I picked New Orleans as my destination. The tickets were only $283, so I could afford to buy two: one for me and one for my husband. We’ve been married for one year now but never had a honeymoon. I’ve been to a lot of places in the US but not to New Orleans. He’s new to the USA and has only ever been to Minnesota!

I’d rent a car and go north, towards the mountains, where I have heard very little, if any, English is spoken! (And take my hubby of course!)

Whenever I read about Thailand I am so intrigued and dream of Phuket. The people, the culture, the history, and of course the beaches. They are all calling to me! I can’t wait to make it a reality. Of course if I was unable to take the trip I would love to send my parents there. They have hardly ever traveled in their life and they deserve to see such beauty!

    http://soc.li/U6qOQDe

  125. Destination Moscow

    Why? To go and see the hub of somewhere with such historic importance for different reasons over time. To see the places of such current political significance, so close to mainland Europe in some ways and let a million miles away in others. The largest country in the world and one of the most significant. I’d like to explore the city and visit some other smaller citys around Moscow to see a more ‘typical’ Russian life.

    http://soc.li/aXRK4HD

  126. Destination : Sarasota FL

    (Hopefully this doesn’t double post!! Tried to post yesterday but it didn’t work!)

  128. I would absolutely LOVE to go to Spain! It would be a dream come true! Flying into Alicante, I would rent a car and head north, towards the mountains, where I have heard that little, or no, English is spoken!
    This way, I could experience the REAL culture and people, not some tourist-y area offering American or British food. :) I’d also get to practice my Spanish that I’ve not had the opportunity to do, since I moved here to the UK, nearly a decade ago.
    Hubby would come with me, of course.

  129. Destination: Cyprus
    Why you want to visit: Amazing beaches, good exchange rate to GBP in Northen Cyprus and a melting pot of culture. I’ve always wanted to go Cyprus but whenever an opportunity came it went away just as quick.

  189. Destination – Aruba (funny I know because you used it as an example) I’d like to buy the flight for my parents because we just won a trip to Aruba for 4 nights that I hope to send them on. It doesn’t include the flight so this would be awesome to send them to Aruba for 4 nights including the flight. They’ve been so supportive of Dave and I. They let us stay at their place every time we go back to Canada. It would be great to give them a treat and pamper them for a change.

  198. Hi Dave!!

    I chose Europe because I need to finally go abroad and start living out my incredible but stagnant wanderlust! More specifically, I chose Barcelona, Spain for a couple reasons. When my very Italian grandma was alive, she told me Spain was her favorite and always told me to visit there, even before Italy. It is also one of the cities priced the closest to the $600. My plan would be to travel within Europe once I’m there!

She’s also done a lot for my sisters and I and this would be the most I could do for her right now as I’m just a college student.

    Why: Because I have read so many great things about Turkey and the warmth and hospitality of Turkish people.

  300. * Reykjavik, Iceland

    * I first visited Iceland back in 2008, and quickly fell in love with everything the country had to offer. Upon learning about how Silfra, the rift that divides the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, I knew I’d have to go back someday to dive there. A week after returning, I enrolled in diving classes. I was certified shortly after, but have yet to make it back to Iceland. It’s time I finally return to experience my dream dive!

    * While this trip is (somewhat selfishly!) for me, at less than $600 per ticket, I could afford to purchase an extra seat for my extremely patient and understanding boyfriend. A budding photographer, I’m guessing he’d find plenty of stunning scenes to capture while I plunge into the icy waters of Þingvallavatn Lake.
