# Sneaky Travel Site Apps The Skiplagged App Lets You Book Hidden City Flights from Your Phone By Michael Hines | Published 2017-05-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skiplagged-app References: [producthunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/skiplagged-2-0) & [itunes.apple](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skiplagged-actually-cheap-flights-hotels/id823443083?mt=8&ref=producthunt) The redesigned Skiplagged app has arrived just in time for the summer travel frenzy. Skiplagged originally started out as a travel site allowing users to book "hidden city" flights. These fares were cheaper because a user's final destination was actually a layover city on a more trafficked route. The new Skiplagged app still allows users to [find these flights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flighty-40) but has also added the ability to [search for hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-gym-review-app) as well. For years Skiplagged was known primarily for its website, but this new [mobile app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expedia-group) could make it a serious competitor to bigger and more established names in the industry. The Skiplagged app should prove popular with millennials who like the idea of cheaper travel and don't care that you can't check bags when booking a flight with the service. The new Skiplagged app is available now for both iOS and Android. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Hidden City Flights:** Businesses can offer hidden city flights to reduce travel costs and attract budget-conscious travelers. - **Mobile Travel Apps:** Developing mobile travel apps can cater to the growing trend of tech-savvy travelers who want to book flights and hotels on-the-go. - **Alternative Lodging:** Introducing alternative lodging options to traditional hotels can appeal to budget-conscious travelers who want to save money on accommodations. ### Where This Applies - **Online Travel Agencies:** Online travel agencies can incorporate a feature of hidden city flights and alternatives to traditional hotel bookings to appeal to budget-conscious travelers and gain a competitive edge. - **Mobile App Development:** Developing mobile travel apps can open new opportunities for app developers and attract customers who prefer booking flights and hotels on-the-go. - **Budget Airlines:** Budget airlines can take advantage of hidden city flights to provide a cost-effective alternative to travelers while boosting their customer base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Instant Accommodation Bookings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/online-travel-agent.md) - [Travel Planning Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lets-trip-1.md) - [Upgraded Airlines Mobile Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airlines-mobile-app.md) - [Delay-Predicting Flight Tracker Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flighty-app.md) - [Feature-Rich Airport Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byair-app.md) - [Bespoke Air Travel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bespoke-air-travel-app.md) - [Detailed Travel-Planning Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/80daysme.md) - [In-App Baggage-Tracking Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-canada-mobile-app.md) - [Smart Travel Planners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cityone.md)
