Dublin-based budget accommodation giant Hostelworld is making its first foray into providing flight search facilities by partnering with metasearch site Skyscanner.
The white label deal between the pair sees a Skyscanner search widget included in a dedicated flight channel on the Hostelworld site.
The flight search page is here:

I would of thought they would of gone for a full XML integration, flights are a major advantage something we want to look at for the future but would have to be a full API XML integration, not sure if a search widget qualifies as news worthy.

I used to think Skyscanner pretty good; and maybe it is for individual flights. However, my local travel agent beat Skyscanner by over 400 Euro for a winter trip - Crete - New York - Panama - Crete. I was well pleased.

From the flight search page:
After comparing flights, pick the one that suits you best and you can then directly book with your chosen Airline or Online Travel Agent.
And while you're at it, book your stay directly with your chosen hostel too!:D
