New Layover Filter, Travel Guidance and T20 Highlights New Layover Filter Helps Travellers Navigate Middle East Disruptions

As the conflict in the Middle East continues to cause widespread airspace closures across the region, flights transiting through key hubs including Dubai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi, have faced significant disruptions, including cancellations, delays, and rerouting. With a large volume of international travel passing through these transit points, many travellers from India have been directly impacted. 

In response, Skyscanner has introduced a Layover filter, designed to give travellers greater control over their connection preferences when searching for flights. Available on both desktop and mobile web, this allows users to exclude specific connecting airports from search results, adjust preferred layover durations, and identify alternative routing options away from disrupted hubs. 

Alongside, Skyscanner has published an India-specific guide, including up-to-date flight schedules from Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar Airways on routes to and from major Indian cities, live arrivals and departures boards for ten Indian airports, and step-by-step advice on refunds and rebooking if flights are cancelled. It also covers travel insurance considerations, provides live flight status tools for major Middle East airports, and links directly to the Ministry of External Affairs for official government travel advisories. 

Skyscanner’s Nationwide OOH Campaign Brought the T20 World Cup Action Beyond the Stadium 

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup ended on a historic high for India, with the team defending its title under captain Suryakumar ‘SKY’ Yadav and lifting the trophy for the third time. To bring the excitement beyond stadiums, Skyscanner launched a nationwide out-of-home campaign that turned stadium precincts, airports, and commuter corridors into extensions of the live cricket experience. Rooted in SKY's audacious, explosive style, the creative idea playfully imagined his boundary-hitting shots escaping the stadium and "breaking" real billboards across Mumbai, Delhi, and Ahmedabad, while hundreds of digital screens at Delhi Airport, Mumbai Metro, and other transit hubs kept commuters connected with live scores, fixture countdowns, and points tables in real time. 

Skyscanner’s ‘Mere Paas Ek Banda Hain’ Campaign Shows You Don’t Need a “Guy” for the Best Deals 

Skyscanner’s latest Mere Paas Ek Banda Hain (I Know A Guy) ad campaign, starring Suryakumar Yadav, tapped into a familiar phrase, where everyone claims to know someone who can secure the best deal. The campaign features a film that plays out as a chain of increasingly confident “mere paas ek banda hain” moments, each person passing their buck to their “guy”, until SKY steps in to break the cycle. The message was simple: you don’t need personal connections when Skyscanner compares prices and puts options in one place.
