Contributing

Help us to evolve Backpack by contributing high-quality features and updates.

Backpack. Owned by you, for the traveller

Backpack is built and owned by all of us at Skyscanner. We rely on our product teams’ contributions to improve and evolve our design system to facilitate quicker, scalable design.

If you have a new idea, or if you’re working on a feature that calls for a change to Backpack, get in touch — we’re here to help make it happen.
