How to search for multi-city flights with Skyscanner

Plan complex trips the easy way; one search, one booking, multiple stops.

What’s Multi-City Search?

It’s a Skyscanner feature that lets you add up to six flight legs in one search, and book them all together. Whether you’re touring Europe, South America, or Asia flying into one city and out of another, or planning a multi-country adventure, Multi-City Search gives you the flexibility to build the trip you want.

No tab overload. No “wait… did I already book that leg?” drama. Just smart, streamlined planning that cuts the chaos and keeps it all connected.

How do I use Multi-City Search?

Easy! Simply open the Skyscanner app and follow these steps:

Step 1: Select ‘Multi-City’ on the Flights tab

You’ll find this option next to ‘One-way’ and ‘Return’. Tap it to start building your route. Note: You don’t have to focus on one region or continent, like Europe — you can venture anywhere and everywhere!

Step 2: Add up to 6 flight legs

Enter the departure airport, destination and dates for each leg of your journey, along with the number of passengers and cabin class. Want to start in Lisbon, hop to Madrid, then head to Marrakesh? Go for it.

Step 3: Search, compare and book

We’ll scan the skies for flight combinations that match your plan — then you can filter and compare all your options in one place. Click on each suggested route to see further details about each flight leg before booking the one that fits best.

Classic Europe Hop: Culture, carbs, and cobblestones

London → Paris → Rome → Athens

Four cities. Four wildly different vibes. One unforgettable itinerary.

📍London – Start with skyline icons and pub garden energy. Think Tate Modern mornings, Soho bites by night, and just enough drizzle to make your tea taste better.

📍Paris – Cross the Channel and slip into something chic. Montmartre stair climbs. Flaky pastries. Sunset picnics by the Seine. All your romantic clichés, fully justified.

📍Rome – History meets chaos (in the best way). Toss a coin in the Trevi, dodge vespas like a local, and eat cacio e pepe as many times as you can.

📍Athens – End where myths were born. Acropolis views, rooftop cocktails, and souvlaki so good it deserves a slow clap. Bonus: the beaches aren’t far if you need a finale swim.

Wander East: Food, flair, and fast trains

Bangkok → Hanoi → Seoul → Tokyo

📍Bangkok – Start with sensory overload in the best possible way. Rooftop bars, golden temples, tuk-tuks that defy physics — and mango sticky rice that will haunt your dreams (in a good way).

📍Hanoi – Next stop: old-world charm with motorbike ballet. Sip egg coffee by the lake, squeeze through the Old Quarter, and let a steaming bowl of phở fix your soul.

📍Seoul – Now shift gears. K-style everything. Neon nights, late-night BBQ, and skincare shops open at 2am. Between palaces and pop culture, it’s all energy, all the time.

📍Tokyo – End with the future wrapped in tradition. Slurp noodles under a train track, stroll through quiet gardens, shop seven floors of stationery — Tokyo’s chaos is an art form.

FAQs

It’s a single travel booking that allows you to visit several cities during one trip. Think of it as a smartly stitched itinerary, instead of booking separate one-way flights everywhere you want to go.

Not at all. You can use it to link nearby cities, cross countries, or fly into one place and out of another — it works for short hops just as well as long-haul loops.

Often, yes. Combining legs into one booking can unlock better fares, and it’s much easier to manage.

Absolutely. We’ll show you combinations across different airlines so you get the best possible route, price and timing.

It’s great for anyone planning a trip with more than one stop — but especially:
- Backpackers chasing new cities without backtracking
- Families looking to visit relatives in multiple places
- Work-and-play travellers flying in for business and out for beaches
- Long-haul adventurers planning round-the-world or continent-crossing routes
Basically, if your trip doesn’t follow a straight line, this feature is for you.

Top tip

Travelling across multiple countries? Make sure your passport has at least six months’ validity left — some destinations require it even for short stays.
