The comparison website has long been used by holidaymakers looking to find the cheapest flight options.

And from today, Skyscanner has launched its own Package Holidays search option.

Scouring the internet, it compares 25million holiday packages a day which includes all the big names like TUI, Jet2, easyJet, Loveholidays and OnTheBeach,

For example, we found bargain deals such as seven nights in Benidorm with hotels and flights for just £226 with Lastminute, using the new serch tool.

There’s also a week in Marrakech for £195 next month, with flights and hotels bookable via Expedia.

The search options let you choose everything from board, such as self-catered or all-inclusive, as well as star rating of the hotels you want to stay at.

The tour operator and airline can be chosen as well as whether you only want direct flights.

It isn’t quite as advanced as their flight search just yet – there isn’t an option for ‘Everywhere‘ or ‘Cheapest Month’ just yet.

So as long as you know where you want to go, and when, you can find a bargain.

The new search tool has been launched due to a boom in package holiday demand.

New data released by Skyscanner found that demand has increased by 113 per cent since the beginning of the year.

Not only that, but 52 per cent of Brits said they were looking at booking a package holiday.

Once seen as a more expensive option, bargain deals are now available which aren’t much more expensive compared to booking flights and hotels separately.

Not only that, but all of the holidays are ATOL protected, meaning your money is safe if the operator goes bust.

Laura Lindsay, Skyscanner’s Travel Expert, said: “Our research shows that for many, finding that perfect holiday can feel overwhelming, with value for money top of mind.

“We’re excited to bring our industry leading price comparison tech to packages.

“With more and more choice in how package holidays are constructed, travellers need an easier way to compare all of the options in one place, to find great deals without the hassle.”

Last year, Skyscanner also launched a new price drop tool.

And here are the 10 cheapest places to fly to this year, according to Skyscanner.
