Skyscanner - Cheap Flights, Hotels and Car Rental

Skyscanner sent my flight detail to random email that isn't mine. That email is completely random and not even the one I used to book the flight. It's very unsafe since random people/email got all my flight details. When I check the booking ID to the airlines (air asia), said my flight detail has been sent to random email and they could not find my flight detail through the booking ID Skyscanner gave to me. Skyscanner please read my emails and cancel flight + refund my ticket !!!

Terrible app (doesn't compare to the website) I really hate the Sky scanner app. I have tried to use it so many times (often using the website and having a good experience) and every time I leave frustrated. It doesn't let you select the whole month to find the cheapest flight, which to me is the only thing that makes skyscanner better than other flight compare sites/apps. I also find it shows me less options, and often more expensive than the skyscanner website, which is just weird.

I’m also disappointed with the changes to the “explore” portion of the app. That is the main reason I used this app over any other airfare app. Being able to pick a destination and have the app tell me all the cheapest dates to travel to that destination, was extremely helpful for a flexible traveler like myself. Now the app fills in one set of random dates for that destination, and I can no longer explore and compare different dates without having to type in each date, look at price, change date, look at price, change date, look at price, etc... PLEASE update the app to have the explore option how it used to be. It really set this app above the rest being able to explore different locations or dates based on what is cheapest at the time. It was so helpful when I don’t have a specific destination or specific time frame I want to travel, I just know I want to go somewhere and have it be as cheap as possible. I’m not sure I have use for the app without that feature.

What happened to the flight ratings??? I travel international very often and I used to love using this app, it was rating each flight based on price, length, layover, etc. which was amazing. Now I don't know whether that went! This is extremely dissatisfying and disappointing. Fix this ASAP or I'm deleting this app.

Up until this year (wait, Kayak beat out Skyscanner in September when I booked a trip to New Zealand), Skyscanner was my go-to for finding discount flights. A few years ago, I stopped using Momondo because it would advertise flights for one price, THEN raise the price AFTER you input your credit card information. Skyscanner isn’t that bad, but for the last month, every time I’ve checked a price for the EXACT same flight for the EXACT same date, it advertises the same “bait” price, then after clicking on the adjacent link, the price doubles, then triples. Not sure why you’d advertise a one-way flight for $254 FOR A MONTH, but then increase it to $720. Shouldn’t you stop the BS bait price on the unpteenth search? Should I blame the cookies? And you must realize that customers can actually search a plane’s seat availability, so the claims that the seats are limited is tired, not just dishonest. So, way to go, Skyscanner. You’re just as useless as Momondo now.

dysfunctional. Nothing happens when i click either the airplane, hotel, or car rental icons to search. i had the app for about a month and now all the sudden it's not working. Now i may have to ditch this app, cancel the membership, and go elsewhere. such a shame as I was still exploring it's different features and services

Nothing wrong with the app itself. The problem lies with the shady travel agencies it suggests - a lot of them operating from either Eastern Europe or India. And that’s for regardless where the flights are to and from. I am never going to use this site or app again after having had several issues with the travel agencies it recommended while purchasing ticket. When the call is routed to Eastern Europe you know that any changes to the ticket whether airlines charges or not they want hefty change fees. And if the it’s an Indian agency they want to “verify” your credit card even after the ticket issuance by having to divulge credit card and passport info again (usually by sending actual pictures of the stuff) - archaic and obnoxious!!! Screw this - buy from the airline site directly - prices are lower or at worst the same - who need this app!!!

Had a trip planned for 300$ checked a few mins later to book it and the price almost doubled. Sure that wasnt some scare tactic at all. Thanks

I am disappointed with Skyscanner because I actually never got a flight through the app. Also, the carrier in the search results are frontier and spirit. These carriers do not add seating or baggage prices to their total price. Their goal is to provide options for their guests. This would not apply to me. Also they both are known to have late arrivals and departures time with poor customer service. In addition, there are booking site most people are not familiar and thorough research has to be done before booking. Skyscanner is not an app for last minute trips. Trips need to be planned in weeks or months in advance. Lastly, I do not like the calendar or chart feature. It display a cheaper flight price than what the results display. Hope the review helps.

My wife booked a flexible airfare through Skyscanner, and paying more, just in case we needed to change dates. As it turns out we do need to and Skyscanner denies any responsibility saying they are only a search engine, our tickets are actually with Tripsta, and we need to deal directly with them. I’ve called both Athens, Greece and Auckland, New Zealand, and messaged them several times, all with no success. Now I’ve been told they are in reorganization and we are authorized to deal directly with Japan Airlines, who say it’s not their problem and won’t even discuss with us any changes. As I have to stay several more months in Thailand I will be forced to forfeit my return flight, and the money involved, all due to “Skyscammer”! This is outrageous, a total ripoff, and I would suggest that no one ever book through this company again.

I looked up flights under the "explore" section. I saw all these inexpensive prices for the select dates that the app provided but then when I click on the price to explore what flights were available for that price there was always nothing available for the price that they advertise. I'm assuming the inexpensive flights were sold out but if that is the case, don't advertise them as if they are available. I used the "back space" button to go back to the previous page because I thought maybe I just saw the price incorrectly but I didn't. Everytime I went to the original page that showed all the available inexpensive prices, the price increased every single time and the inexpensive price that was originally advertised was gone.

didn't explain clearly, maybe trap from app cos when I was booking flight from bkk-KKC(ขอนแก่น) Ur app just show only date and month , Ur app didn't show year of booking, as the result, I miss the flight today and my booking is on next year. So, I think it just a little problem on U but I,m surly ur customer may leave ur like me.

Three days I got quotes and immediately tried to book. The prices suddenly shot up al three days by the same amount. I guess their data from the airlines is inaccurate or they are deliberately posting false information. I travel the world. I need reliable prices where i can immediately book and get confirmation. When I tried to complain they ask you to wait 7 days. Obviously works for some people on some airlines, but maybe they need more or in Asia, or maybe integrity training. THREE days of false information. Sorry better apps out there. I usually only write good reviews but was so disappointed and felt so cheated thought i should share. Be prepared of prices increases in a matter of seconds.

Used to be a great, straightforward app, but with every update it seems to move away from that.

Cheating app, the app saves cookies in order to increase flight costs when making a second look at the same flight, I've tried in different smartphones and the price is different, ecen when searching for the same flight at the same time

I made a reservation for a trip 3 months in advance and paid for it upfront. A couple of weeks later I called back to make changes to it. Due to changes outside of my wonderful, the wedding I am attending changed venues. I called to make changes to my reservation. Not only was I reminded that my reservation was nonrefundable, but when I tried to change the destination of it I was being charged over $1500. It was explained to me that this was the total fo change penalties, plus the fare difference on the new destination. I checked the fares to the new destination before I called and they were cheaper than my original destination so I am not sure how they came up with this number!

I have not booked a flight with this app, but I am not sure why one would use it over Google Flights or Kayak, as both seem to have better features. I cannot figure out a way to make Skyscanner search nearby airports or flexible dates like the alternatives can. It also frequently recommends me options that have 25-30+ hours of travel time for a flight that should be a single 3-hour hop. Finally, the UI is a bit weird at times. Trying to transition from one-way to round-trip in the date picker took about 60 seconds of awkward fumbling for me.

The app did not responsible for anything- payment through booking- after your booking request, there will be an email informing your booking need verification and u must call. Agencies at the end of the line are Indians who always ask your personal info and credit card verification (for data base purpose purely and I am afraid if they will sell my credit card info someday). The cheap tickets, as shown in The app, never exit: they just want to keep your private info and tell you ,on the phone call, to pay more for the tickets u want. Why this app get 4.8 ratings? May be the votes are from those Indian agents.

This new August 2019 “update” was horribly over-engineered. You cannot filter on the number of passengers until you choose a particular flight, nor can you filter on nonstops at the beginning, as before. Finally, on the Everywhere destination, if you pick a place to research, when you try to get back to Everywhere on a new search, it auto populates the last destination you looked at. Nice new pictures, Skyscanner, but you’ve done so at the expense of efficient searching and done exactly what you shouldn’t do.....drive long-standing fans of your app straight to Kayak.

I like this app until two recent incidents that showed me much lower prices. When I click on it to purchase, it links me to CheapOAir that doesn’t actually have those tickets available. I understand that may happen once in awhile but I tried many times, and it’s like that each time. Skyscanner shows those tickets are available but once I follow the link, the price changes. When I go back to Skyscanner, it still shows the lower prices available. I think CheapOAir is a scam and skyscanner is allowing it to do so. Very disappointed and probably won’t use it anymore.

Booked a rental for my boyfriend using this app and it sent me to an Italian company. I checked the reviews and everything seemed fine. When he got to the airport, he found out the price would be $300 more and that the Italian company required him to be Italian in order to rent the car. That was never stated in any documents or website pages upon booking. I’m just really disappointed that Skyscanner would even put that as an option for a person living in America, going to a different state in America, to be able to rent a car through a foreign company that wouldn’t work for Americans. Thanks guys.

Even thought SkyScanner can find the cheapest priced ticket the website selling them aren’t the most reputable. The cheap price buying from these website is useless. Buyers beware. I usually Google for a review of the website to double check on how reputable they are. The cheapest one even the medium priced website are just not worth buying your ticket from. In the end the best price is still the same price as what the major travel website is quoting (ie Expedia, Priceline). That is why the 1 star. If they had filter out the bad travel website then the info may become useful.

I buy airpline ticket from “exploretrip” a was veerry bed experience “””please don t buy from this agency””” its something wrong with that agency i want to exchange the ticket and they charge my 1000$ for that,,,, its a small agency they have just one person for help people ,,, and its speaking soo bed english and i found another ticket for the date what i want for 1300$ and they charge my 700$ for difrence off price ... soo bed ,,, if its possible the skysccaner to take of this agency because a lot of people have had a bed experience with that ....

When looking at specific destinations, skyscanner used to give you the cheapest option regardless of date first. You could search by specific dates, but if you were flexible and didn't care you could get amazing deals. (I flew round trip to Europe for under $400 this way). Now that option is gone. I search for a location and the only way to see prices is to input a specific set of dates and I can't find a way to switch to the old search function. This makes the app functionally useless for me.

Wow, this app is bad. I entered a flight search, and mistakenly entered round-trip when I meant one-way. Now it won’t let me change the search to one-way. And there is no way to clear the search and start over. I’ve been trying for 15 minutes and seriously I can’t find a way to start a new search. I’ve even logged out, shutdown the app and restarted. It just shows the same search forever. Maybe you have to book the flight before you start a new one I don’t know. I have no choice but to delete the app.

I booked through the skyscanner app and in the “trips” section it said I had booked for the time I wanted. When it came time for my planned flight time, I found out that the times did not match up with what the airline had in their system and my actual flight went out earlier that day. Since the airline had the booking, there’s nothing I could really do but rebook last minute. Would be great if skyscanner could match that section with your actual booking or just remove it to avoid confusion.

When trying to search flights out of NYC (tried JFK and EWR airports) in May, app tells me no flights are available. There are no flights for an entire month going anywhere? Obviously that’s incorrect. I want to be able to search for the cheapest flights to anywhere during a particular timeframe, something the app says it’s supposed to do. I would think that lots of people would want this feature! I don't know if it’s a bug or if I’m in the wrong A/B testing group but please fix it!

Sky scanner use to be able to find flights for the price that the search provided a year ago. Thank you for the flight to shanghai last summer your app WAS helpful. Now I go on and can’t seem to find a single flight that is what Sky scanner says it has. Seriously 5 out of 5 searches tonight came up a different price or the advertised flight isn’t even there anymore. This has been my observation for at least 5 months now. Sorry Sky scanner back up what you say you have.

It purposely tries to trick you into a more expensive fare by advertising a price bit not telling you what time that flight is. Then when you choose a more convenient time, it adds hundreds of dollars to your fare, no savings at all! Even though I select round-trip and put in the dates for outbound and return, the calendar will not let me proceed to search for flights . This is a terrible, terrible update skyscanner has been ruined as other commenters have stated.

You must hold your device absolutely still while typing or the keyboard disappears. I got this app because it claimed to be able to show me a range of dates, which it will but only for smaller airports. Choose a larger airport like LAX or SFO, and it will only show you the lowest price of all dates and then a range of round trip prices, even if you are searching one way. Searches for one way flights are labeled as round trip at some points making it confusing. Deleted it.

I understand Flight rates are constantly changing, hence the purpose of this App. While it is convenient for the app to watch flights for you and let you know when your getting a a cheaper rate This app hasn’t proved itself helpful in the end because even if it does notify me of a cheap flight When I go to click it and purchase the cost is several hundred dollars more so it’s very unhelpful, defeats its purpose, and Misleading if ya ask me!

Disappointed. The whole reason why skyscanner was great was that it showed all competitive pricing and plus actually gave a month overview of the fares. I logged on today and it asked that I input specific dates- this defeats the purpose of why I would use skyscanner!!! Bring back the flexible date selection and I'll come back. But for now, I'm deleting this app from my iPad. Hopefully the website can still provide the month overview of flexible date options.

I used to really and I mean really love this app. You could go to the explore tab pick a place and it would give your a variety of flight options by number of days you wanted to travel. Now there's only one option they give you as "cheapest" and then they list the average price in that month with no other flight options. I wish I could un-upgrade this app so I can continue booking flexible trips instead of by strict dates. Someone help!

Recently I’ve noticed that the link between SkyScanner App (on my iPhone) and the third party car rental vendor (I.e. CarRental8) has been broken. You see very low prices offered by CarRental8, but when you click to go to their site and complete the reservation the destination doesn’t have your search criteria (date, location,...). Worst part is; when you re-enter the SAME criteria you will get a MUCH higher rate from the vendor. It’s a total waste of time.

No matter how I try, or select explore deals from “anytime”, when I tap on “find flight deals” it always becomes to search certain period of time. The deals by different date and period where I can browse by timeline is gone. It’s very frustrating. Please bring that function back. I will review again if the issue is addressed.

There is nothing on my trips although i have booked my ticket on skyscanner. I cant find my watched/favorited flights either. It costed me big because the airline i booked changed it’s airport and I realized the day of the flight. Since I can’t find the booking demonstration on my trips sections and I didn’t take a screenshot I have no evidence and I had to buy a new ticket!

I found out better flights rates with another website the same day I bought my tickets with you. Very disappointed.

Do not book anything from Vayama.com!!!! Vayama.com is fake!! They charge your card but send a email saying that your booking is cancelled!!! I have never had that happen with any site before!

I just get disappointed every time I use this. Before the searching was quick and convenient but then going to the sites I’d get screwed...sold out flights, book a car then get a notice of cancellation. Now they’ve added glutware ads from the start. I’m tempted to restore the phone to a previous version.

I was looking for a flight from Boston to green bay WI and it listed for economy class for $19,750. Dollars and a 11 hour flight with 3 stops? Hell I can drive there in 19 hours for a car rental? That’s a lot of money for economy class? I wonder what it cost to go coach? $100,000.00?

This new August 2019 “update” was horribly over-engineered.

Garage, works with a lot of mistakes

Te lleva a la página de la aerolínea y te das cuenta que el precio es diferente al que ellos te ofrecen!!!

اخيس شيء فيه شيء نذذل تلقى حجز رخيص ومناسب تدخل بيناتك وتجي تدخل بيانات بطاقة البنك يطلعلك تحت عند التاكيد رقم صغير عشان ماتشوف الاجمالي للحجز ويزود 100 دينار زيادة الحمدلله اني انتبهت له لانه يغيرون السعر عند التاكيد النهائي سيئ البرنامج مرره افضل شيء هو برنامج Wego يطلع لك السعر الاصلي قبل لاتدخل بياناتك كلها احسن من هذا سيئ جداً . *

It’s second time I’m having trouble ordering the ticket through this app

Set alerts for 2 different flights. Checked prices regularly on the airline’s website. Didn’t receive a notification about price change until a month or so later, after the price had already changed multiple times. Missed the best deals. Won’t use again.

I was charged an additional fee of $13.95 via one of the services they use. I’ve utilized Skyscanner before, so I’m not sure what’s going on, but I can’t even find a contact number or email address for Skyscanner. I even pretended to book another flight using the same airline and sub-service of Skyscanner, and it didn’t appear I was going to be charged for anything other than the flight. I even went to the airline’s website and the price was the same. Just user their site for pricing and go directly to the airline site to book you flight.

He comprado a través de esta aplicación y me direccionó a GotoGate. Me cobraron el pasaje de avión a través de la tarjeta de crédito y aún no le envían mi reserva de avión. Necesito ayuda!

Better deals on other sites

Recently I’ve noticed that the link between SkyScanner App (on my iPhone) and the third party car rental vendor (I.e. CarRental8) has been broken.

Low price until you get to the airline sight

Booked a flight with through this app, then founf that the travel agency withdraw $40 while the ticket costs $300. Therefore, i didn't get my confirmation, can't review the travel agency on Skyscanner to let every body know, and neither got my money back. Skyscanner allow travel agency to do whatever without even allowing you to wrute a review. Travel agency name TRAVELGENIO

Te re envía a una página Travelgenio, Travel2be, que no tienen buena reputación.

Ran the same search on this app as Skiplagged and it didn’t find the same deals. Only finds the ones the airlines want you to see. Ditch for Skiplagged you won’t be disappointed

I buy airpline ticket from “exploretrip” a was veerry bed experience “””please don t buy from this agency””” its something wrong with that agency i want to exchange the ticket and they charge my 1000$ for that,,,, its a small agency they have just one person for help people ,,, and its speaking soo bed english and i found another ticket for the date what i want for 1300$ and they charge my 700$ for difrence off price ... soo bed ,,, if its possible the skysccaner to take of this agency because a lot of people have had a bed experience with that ....

Cannot change the number of passengers for some reason. So annoying.

Servers have been down for days! I download an app, I shouldn’t have to go online to utilize Skyscanner’s services.

Shows a low price as bait. When you click on the actually city then a higher price appears, and any “deals” are via third-party sources that are questionable at best. AirfareWatchdog is much better at finding true deals.

It purposely tries to trick you into a more expensive fare by advertising a price bit not telling you what time that flight is. Then when you choose a more convenient time, it adds hundreds of dollars to your fare, no savings at all! Even though I select round-trip and put in the dates for outbound and return, the calendar will not let me proceed to search for flights . This is a terrible, terrible update skyscanner has been ruined as other commenters have stated.

You used to be able to check flights and they would show you win the lowest and cheapest flight was within a certain amount of days weeks or a month. This was a much needed actual beauty of the app. IJS

prices don’t match when it comes time to pay. bait prices

You guys need to make your App more sufficient when people try to arrange dates for their travel. And try to book it

You try to change the date & it crashes, brings you to the home screen!

It shows a price but when you are going to book it, it changes. The flight I wanted to book was $100, but then I said $325.

I've used this app consistently for almost 10 years; It didn't matter that you couldn't book through the app (at the time) I still loved it for finding and comparing flights. Now I'm trying to use it to book a few oneway trips in Asia that I have coming up in Oct '19 and the app is stuck on round trip. All progress isn't good progress in app land.

A lot of bugs - when it takes you to Expedia and some other sites, you bypass the flight booking page and end up straight at hotels/ “how was your experience with xx” page. It takes a long time to recognize that a promised price is no longer available. Two stars because I trust they are working on it, but kind of useless currently.

Up until this year (wait, Kayak beat out Skyscanner in September when I booked a trip to New Zealand), Skyscanner was my go-to for finding discount flights. A few years ago, I stopped using Momondo because it would advertise flights for one price, THEN raise the price AFTER you input your credit card information. Skyscanner isn’t that bad, but for the last month, every time I’ve checked a price for the EXACT same flight for the EXACT same date, it advertises the same “bait” price, then after clicking on the adjacent link, the price doubles, then triples. Not sure why you’d advertise a one-way flight for $254 FOR A MONTH, but then increase it to $720. Shouldn’t you stop the BS bait price on the unpteenth search? Should I blame the cookies? And you must realize that customers can actually search a plane’s seat availability, so the claims that the seats are limited is tired, not just dishonest. So, way to go, Skyscanner. You’re just as useless as Momondo now.

All of a sudden the app updated and it’s terrible! The ability to flexibly search is not so intuitive anymore. When you do find the ability to search dates in a flexible manner the price shown is different from the final price. Hard to explain but it terrible.

This app does not work, it show really low prices on the front page but when you actually check the prices are more than double

I’ve been trying to buy flights for a week. Everytime I try to buy it Inhave a notice sayibg that they have been sold out, they don’t exist or any other problem and when search again the prices have at least doubled.

With adding an Infant the prices will drop but then when trying to book it we get charged for 3 people! Not good

An app should never-ever interfere with standard actions like screenshots. 1/5 for just this.
