Skyscanner reveals Wednesday is the day flight prices are most likely to go down with the launch of new feature: DROPS

 Skyscanner's new app-exclusive feature, DROPS, helps travellers find the best 2025 deals while inspiring their next adventure.

Travellers who log into the Skyscanner app will access daily DROPS - flights from nearby airports that have dropped at least 20% in price compared to the past week.

To celebrate the launch of DROPS, Skyscanner analyzed January 2025 data, revealing key insights:

  • Wednesdays saw the most DROPS in January*
  • 38% of DROPS were published before 9 AM in January**

  • The average saving from DROPS in January was $254**, but Tokyo took the crown for the biggest avg. saving (among destinations with 100+ DROPS). Check out the top five list alongside their average savings:
  1. Tokyo - $721
