01/Overview
Flight search that shows the full price up front, bags included, and explains every trade-off in one line.
Skyroute shows one price per flight: the price you will actually pay, with the bags you told it you need. No drip pricing, no pre-ticked extras.
Results are ranked by a transparent “best” score and each option explains its trade-off in a sentence — “€26 cheaper, but a 3-hour layover in Madrid”.
A price calendar shows the cheapest nearby dates, and the boarding pass lands in the phone wallet automatically.

07/Case study
From problem to proof.
The challenge
Travellers compared prices that weren’t comparable: bags, seats and fees appeared only at checkout, and trust in flight search was at an all-time low.
The approach
Lumo Labs asked for bags and flexibility up front and priced everything accordingly, then explained each ranking in a single human sentence.
Research
Booking diaries
40 travellers across 2 holiday seasons
Price-comprehension tests
8 layouts, 320 participants
Competitive benchmark
12 booking sites, 60 tasks
Key insights
- 01
The first price people see becomes the price they expect to pay.
- 02
“Best” is trusted only when it explains itself.
- 03
Asking about bags early feels helpful, not intrusive.
