1. How Skyscanner Finds Cheap Flights
Skyscanner acts as a flight comparison tool. It scans prices from:
- Airlines directly
- Online travel agencies
- Budget carriers and third‑party sellers
This broad comparison lets you see a range of fares, including some that may be lower than those shown on airline websites alone. Always check baggage and refund rules before booking.
2. Key Features to Find Low Prices
- Everywhere Search – Enter your departure city and “Everywhere” as the destination to see the cheapest flight options worldwide.
- Whole Month / Cheapest Month – View flight prices across an entire month to spot the cheapest days to fly.
- Flexible Dates – Compare multiple dates if you don’t have fixed travel dates.
- Nearby Airports – Include nearby departure or arrival airports to find additional low‑fare options.
3. Tips for Getting the Best Deals
- Be flexible with travel dates — mid‑week flights often cost less than weekends.
- Search multiple days and airports to uncover hidden low fares.
- Use “Everywhere Search” if you want cheap travel inspiration.
- Compare one‑way and round‑trip prices — sometimes booking separately can save money.
4. Booking and Alerts
- Skyscanner shows results but redirects you to the airline or agency to complete booking — check the provider before purchase.
- Use Price Alerts to track fares for your selected route and get notified if prices drop.
- Set alerts early if you’re planning far ahead — this helps you book at the lowest point.
