SkyScanner, a European flight search engine, today (29 October) launched the WhoFlies widget, the second in a series of ‘Skytools’.

The ‘Skytools’ series is a suite of free widgets/APIs/integrations, that allow third party websites to display Skyscanner’s flight information on their own sites. The company said that following on from the recent release of the Cheap Flights Map widget, the WhoFlies widget can be easily embedded onto third party sites and shows visitors which airlines fly from their nearest airport to their chosen destination. Users can then click on a button to view the cheapest flights for the route on the Skyscanner website.
