Skyscanner

This year we've increased our Discover Incentive to £500. That means everyone at Skyscanner has £500 (or local equivalent) to spend on travel. So whether you take a trip to Belize like Lindsey Wilkojc, head to the beaches of Thailand like Jennifer Todd, see the sights in Colombia like Carmel Owen, or tour the streets of Portugal like Matthew Swift - we want our team to see this wonderful world.

Over the last 5 years we've totally reshaped our observability stack, and Daniel Gomez Blanco has been reflecting on how using these systems allows for us to make Skyscanner as robust and reliable as possible for our travellers. If you're a fan of observability engineering, then this is the blog for you.

Last Friday was the first anniversary of the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). The DMA requires the most powerful tech firms to follow fair competition rules, including banning them from self-preferencing their own products. At Skyscanner, we believe in putting travellers first, and the DMA was designed to do just that - making travel search fairer, more open, and more competitive. A year on we're starting to see signs of progress, but we're not there yet with some companies still failing to comply. That's why Skyscanner is joining many other businesses in calling for decisive enforcement of the DMA, so that in Europe we'll see: ✅ More competition and choice for consumers ✅ More innovation in travel search ✅ More investment in fair digital markets We want to ensure Europe's travellers can access the best options based on merit, not manipulation. The time to act is now.

Thanks so much to Mimi Fawaz, Hayley Bennett, Beth McGuire and Jorja Fox for joining our VP of Data Naomi Hahn this week for our International Women's Day panel. The panel discussed a series of topics such as female leadership and the power of active allyship in driving forward gender equality. Happy International Women's Day for tomorrow 🎉

Major changes are coming to European travel in 2025, and they’re going to affect millions of people. ✈️ EES? No more passport stamps! Instead, you may need face scans and fingerprints to enter Europe. 🇬🇧 Planning to visit the UK? You might need a new digital pass called an ETA. 🌍 And if you’re heading to Europe, the new ETIAS will be required for up to 30 countries. Sound confusing? You’re not alone. But here's our guide to make sure you're up to date.

We sat down with our Accessibility Lead, Heather Hepburn, to discuss the five-year journey of turning accessibility from a "nice-to-have" into an essential part of our culture. You can give it a read here - https://lnkd.in/eEgd8Mig
