First time user. I searched my destination, Skyscanner presented the flights, I bought. Skyscanner sent me a confirmation for the return trip ticket with one locator number. Skyscanner then sent me another email informing me that Trip.com would be booking the tickets. I get an email from Trip.com informing me that they booked two sets of tickets, one going and one returning with separate locator number and one single charge to my credit card. The price was not exceptionally good, but the route and times were good. Two days later, Trip.com informs me that flight have been canceled and if I don't call in two hours, they will charge me. I call. They tell me they can only cancel the first flight to the destination, but not the flight returning. But wait, you canceled my trip and then they tell me I need to call the airline and talk them into giving me a full refund on a non-refundable ticket. Sorry sir, you've been screwed. I called the airline, the clerk laughed when I told her the situation and said that under no uncertain terms, they will not refund the amount. I'll never use Skyscanner or Trip.com again. Cheaters.

Very bad experience!
January 8, 2020

I checked and booked my flight via Skyscanner with one of their advertised agents called Go To Gate (part of ETraveli). Flight booked was for 22nd May 2020 Sydney - Vancouver - Calgary and return on 13 June Calgary - Vancouver - Sydney with Air Canada. Next day in the morning I found out that my return flight needs to be from Whitehorse instead of Calgary, so the return flight should be 13 June Whitehorse - Vancouver - Sydney. I called Go To Gate and they requested to pay AUD $464.00 more. New flight Whitehorse - Vancouver is AUD $203.00. I requested to cancel my flight as I was within 24 hours of booking in order for me to rebook the flight from Whitehorse. Go To Gate refused to cancel my ticket. I called Air Canada to confirm free cancellation. Airline confirmed my right and advised me to request travel agent to cancel my flight. I called GO TO GATE, however the travel agent REFUSED TO proceed with free cancellation, saying 'its almost 24 hours'. I called Air Canada for the second time and the airline confirmed again that Go To Gate has to cancel it. I called for the third time Go TO GATE, but they refused. This isn't acceptable and Skyscanner and Air Canada should not be selling tickets via travel agents who refuse to obey the customer rights!

Really god experience
December 30, 2019

On my side I had a really good experience. Me and my friends booked a round trip to turkey online. We paid online and received the ticket within 1 hours. Everything was good and we didn't have any problem at the airport. I hope in the future I wont have any problem like some of y'all...

Very nice destination search
October 24, 2019

I love the search feature to select your airport and it can tell many possible destination on your days or month. Absolutely recommend this for your vacation and cheap flight searches. Could have given 5 stars if had multiple airport search support.

Scam company website
July 28, 2019

Do not use this site to find deals. It is very hard to speak with a rep from this company and the travel companies they deal with are scams. You will run across issues and cause more headache than its worth.

Please try a different online company to find deals.

Sky scanner redirected me to kiwi.com to book a ticket to South Korea, but it was 100% fraud. Sky scanner also has no customer service phone numbers. Hard to trust these sites.

My favorite site for booking flights
July 7, 2019

Have found some great deals here. Make sure that you choose "whole month" when looking at prices as you'll be able to see which dates are the cheapest in that particular month and you can save by moving your travel dates slightly.

I used to have the Skyscanner app on my mobile until their providers soon became reason enough for me to stay away. The Skyscanner providers for both flights and hotels engage in very fraudulent business practices which will end up costing the consumer not only financially, but also with their time, efforts, and most importantly, TRUST.
In my case, I needed a flight so you will notice that when you check the "deals" for whichever service you need, there is a huge disparity between certain "providers" and the recognizable others such as: Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, etc. This is because those other unreliable providers falsely advertise low fares. After clicking the booking button for that low fare; customers to go through a "booking process", then sends a booking confirmation email with caveat of "THIS IS NOT YOUR E-TICKET". When the customer clicks link to print e-ticket, it states to "CHECK BACK IN 2 HOURS". After 2+ hours and you call Skyscanner's providers customer service out of concern of your presumed e-ticket; this is where the BAIT & SWITCH process occurs. The provider will offer another fare and other dates, but they still won't give you an e-ticket? So you are back to square one and possibly owing more money and added stress than you'll need.
I am EXTREMELY disappointed by Skyscanner's approved providers and lack of monitoring their performance and bad business practices. I have come to the conclusion that Skyscanner should no longer have my business in the future as well as highly recommend that you should not either. I do not state these items lightly but please make note of this review as I have provided proof of my purchase which was not handled properly by Skyscanner or their provider.

Choose one of 2 ways for buy ticket
May 19, 2019

Here are two ways to buy tickets:

1 - you buy on the Skyscanner website, it redirects you to the agency where you pay, there is a risk that the agency will be fake.

I also bought it, but less. I like the second option more.

2 - you will find out in which agency or airline prices are lower and buy on their website or application.
I buy tickets for vueling, transavia and other lowcaster.

Cheap flights to every destination!
May 2, 2019

The prices are not always the same as they look like but if you want to find the best match - this website is where you probably should look for it. And it shows you all the possible flights to every destination you need.

Everyone can fly!
April 29, 2019

Since I know this website I always fly anywhere with the cheapest fare! This website is super amazing, you can also download the apps version both works perfectly fine. If you find the fare is not cheap enough dont worry! All you have to do is turn on the price notifications and it will inform you once the price goes down!

I used this site to book flights to Vietnam. It's really easy to see when to fly for the cheapest flights. I love that the site has the visual of the monthly calendar with colour-coded dates so you can when are the cheapest dates. The only downside is that most of the flights that are offered don't include checked bags. This is bad especially when you want to fly long-distance and you will need a checked bag.

These are scammers! Be careful!
April 14, 2019

Hi there,
I want to warn potential customers of the company Skyscanner. Be very attentive!
Skyscanner company doesn't warn about very important information that when you fly through America, Canada, Singapore, London, you will need to have visas for these countries as they do not have transit zones. What millions of tourists simply don`t know because no one informed them in advance and they are in a very unpleasant situation.

Also, in case of cancellation of tickets purchased on the partners site, the company Skyscanner doesn`t warn in advance that the money for the tickets won`t be refunded before the Skyscanner company redirects you to buy the selected flight conditions to the partners website which also don`t warn you about the information I said.

This is an administrative violation of the Skyscanner company and fraud. And also this is the complete lack of service and care for their customers.

Be very careful and better contact another company for quality and professional services!
