Skiplagged is a one-of-a-kind travel site that exists to help travelers find the best deals to put more money in their pocket - not the airlines. We are a group of improvers and frequent travelers who recognized that there were no travel companies that truly worked for the consumers' benefit. We started going after that idea by developing a lightning-fast search portal that shows unique flight, hotel, and car deals that you can’t find anywhere else. While we are a small team, we’ve accomplished a lot. We’ve created a strong and high-growth business and have a lot of great product momentum - but we’ve only just scratched the surface of our vision of becoming one of the world's largest travel sites. So if you believe in a travel site that exists to be on the side of travelers and want to change how people can experience the world, come join us.
