How to master peak season moments and turn spikes into sustained growth
Peak travel season on Skyscanner isn’t defined by a single day or campaign, it’s a sequence of high-intent moments where traveller interest spikes, competition intensifies, and the right message at the right time can make all the difference. From mid-October through to the end of March, Skyscanner experiences a sustained surge in searches, sessions, and bookings. These aren’t just seasonal upticks they are performance triggers, and for advertisers, they represent one of the most commercially valuable stretches of the year. These periods are predictable, measurable, and proven to deliver incremental returns.
