Booking a flight ticket without a flight coupon? In today’s flight booking market where the keywords are low, lower and lowest, not using a flight coupon amounts to sacrilege!
All the offers and schemes aside, nothing trumps a simple old-fashioned cash discount. That’s why flight coupons are so popular on the booking horizon today – no fine print, nothing to read between the lines – only the ‘spend and you shall save’ mantra.
What is a flight coupon code?
Airline promo codes help you save money on air travel. They are frequently offered by carriers to help you find great flight deals. And knowing where to find them and how to use them helps you get the best possible discounts on your air travel.
It’s quite simple really. Availing a flight coupon usually involves downloading a particular app to your phone or visiting a certain site to make your flight booking. There are no other riders – all you need to do is punch in the code provided and you get an immediate discount. The discount is either in the form of a deduction from your total billed amount or it is offered as an amount that is credited to your wallet. This cashback amount can then be used for a subsequent booking.
At Skyscanner, you’ll find dedicated pages for promo codes on our website and our app, for nearly every single airline and online travel agency. We keep everything updated regularly with the latest codes.

How to get flight coupons and vouchers
You’ll find dedicated pages online with us with promo codes for airlines and online travel agencies. We also recommend signing up for the newsletters from your favourite airlines, as this is often the first place where they’ll be released.
You’ll find promo codes for specific airlines on a dedicated section of their site. Look for sections titled, ‘Travel/Flight Deals and Offers’.
How to use a flight promo code
Once you get a promo code for an airline, there are a few things to do before you use it. You might actually get a cheaper price through Skyscanner without using the promo code.
This is what you need to do:
- Search for flights as normal on Skyscanner.
- Check if there are any deals through third-party sites that may offer a better discount than the promo code.
- If you can’t find a better deal, proceed to the airline (or online travel agency) website to book the flight. You’ll need to enter the promo code on the checkout screen when you book your flight.
