Price: Free
If you frequently travel overseas for business, you'll most likely have a system for finding good deals on flights, but Skyscanner is great tool for finding the cheapest flights without wasting time by trawling the internet yourself. The app compares flights from hundreds of airlines, ensuring you get the best deal possible, and you can filter results according to price, cabin class and departure times.
Why is this app so good for business travel? Skyscanner makes it easy to plan ahead, as it allows you to see prices over a week or month as well as whether you could save money flying to or from alternative airports.
The amount of options you get also makes it perfect for business use, since you're often short on time and flexibility upon reaching your destination.
