Is 2024 travel planning giving you decision fatigue? Yep, we hear you, sis! And apparently, so does Skyscanner, because the travel site has unveiled a new service to help when planning.

Named the ‘Everywhere Agent’ the service is designed to do the planning for you. Bring on stress-free planning.

Taking tailored travel experiences to new heights, jetsetters from the UAE can now receive personalised travel suggestions from the world’s most qualified explorer (yes, really).

Having travelled to every country in the world—not just once, but twice (!!), Skyscanner’s ‘Everywhere Agent’, Gunnar Garfors is now at your service, offering tailored suggestions and travel insights through free 1:1 video sessions.

A new Skyscanner report reveals that although a whopping 97% percent of UAE travellers seek new travel experiences for 2024, 77% of those feel stressed about travel planning.

In an effort to bridge the gap between research and retreat, Skyscanner has released a new service to complement its popular ‘Everywhere’ search tool, to alleviate decision fatigue and enhance the travel planning experience.

Through the ‘Everywhere Agent’ service, Gunnar offers a limited virtual service, where UAE holidaymakers can snag a free one-on-one video consultation through the ‘Everywhere Appointment’. Get personalized travel recommendations and savvy tips to stretch your 2024 travel budget.

In a world dominated by travel influencers and Instagram hotspots, Gunnar Garfors is set to bring UAE travellers a refreshing approach, he says,

“Some of my favourite destinations within a 5 hour flight from the UAE include the cultural capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek, and further afield Issyk-Kul Lake, which is surrounded by wild and impressive mountains as well as small and charming villages. Alternatively, visitors who are seeking a beach trip to Seychelles can explore Praslin and La Digue, as both offer a more laid-back atmosphere and are home to more affordable resorts and hotels than popular Mahé.”

The collaboration aims not only to guide travelers to unique and incredible destinations but also to help them make the most of their travel budget in 2024.

You can also dive into Gunnar’s insider tips and destination recommendations in the Skyscanner Everywhere Guide, available here. Gunnar will be spilling all of his travel secrets; from where to find mind-blowing street food, to once-in-a-lifetime experiences and epic bucket list destinations.
