FAQs

A great question – and one best answered by our travelers. Every month, millions of people use Skyscanner to plan their trips, and on Trustpilot, we're rated Excellent, with a score of 4.4 out of 5.

Yes, Skyscanner is legit. Skyscanner is an independent company with the goal of helping you find the best option for your personal travel plans. We compare flight, hotel, and car rental prices from all booking sources on the web, and you decide which travel agency, airline, hotel, or car rental agency to book with.

An OTA (Online Travel Agency) sells travel directly – when you book a flight, hotel, or car with them, they process your payment and handle your booking.

A metasearch engine like Skyscanner works differently. We don't sell anything ourselves. Instead, we search across hundreds of trusted airlines, OTAs, and travel providers, then show you your options side by side so you can compare and choose what works best for you.

Once you've picked your deal, we send you straight to the provider to book.

Many people think flight prices go up the more you search. Not here. Skyscanner doesn't adjust prices based on your cookies, location, or search history, and going incognito won't change what you see.

Flight prices change in real time, based on things like availability and demand. That can make it feel like searching repeatedly has caused the increase, when in reality, the airline has just updated its prices.

To help, we created the Saved feature, allowing you to keep a closer eye on fluctuation and book when the price is right for you.
