![]() Step 5: Click select to check your itinerary and finish booking your ticketĬlick on the arrow to get the details of your flight, especially if like me, you have a connection. I'm going to book the first and cheapest one. Skyscanner also allows you to play with all sorts of filters to find your perfect flight: number of stops, journey duration, airline etc. Feel free to sort by total journey time, departure time, airline or stops depending on your preferences. Step 4: Hit search and choose among the flight resultsīy default, Skyscanner displays results from the cheapest trip to the most expensive airfare (price by adult). As a solo budget traveler, I choose "1 passenger" in Economy. I'm looking for a cheap flight from Sofia, Bulgaria to Barcelona, Spain at the end of the summer. Select your flight date from the calendar, the number of passengers and the cabin class (Economy, Premium Economy, Business or First Class). ![]() I'm looking for a one-way ticket (by the way, you should do the same, that's one of my tips to find cheap flights).Įnter which city you want to fly from in the "From" section and your destination in "To". Select whether you're searching a one-way, return or multi-city (more on that later) ticket. Step 2: Choose the kind of ticket you want Just like languages, there is an extended list. In the top-right corner, choose the currency you want prices to be displayed in among the most common ones ($, €, £) or others. Let's look into the main search engine feature that lets you look for a flight in a few simple steps. You don't actually book Skyscanner's cheap flights on the website or the app: after selecting your trip, you are redirected to the platform of the airline or OTA, where you complete your booking and pay. You know that Google scraps thousands of websites in a few seconds (even less) to present you the most relevant results for your query? Skyscanner does exactly the same by searching airlines and online travel agents' websites, by displaying the cheapest flight deals under 30 seconds (that's their promise, and after many uses I found it to be true quite often). Think of it as Google, but dedicated to finding the cheapest airfare only, among the multitude of airlines and online travel agents (OTAs). That transparency is the result of a few years of work and improved consumer protection laws, for the better! There are neither hidden fees or additional expenses: the prices you see are the ones you will pay. The website (and the Skyscanner app) are completely free to use. To be more general, they are an online travel search engine, since they also let you book a hotel and rent a car, but I'll focus on Skyscanner flights only here. I'm going to show you how to use Skyscanner hacks to travel for cheap, but also point the limits of Skyscanner and what you should do to find the cheapest airfare. ![]() I keep saying it: among all flight search engines out there, Skyscanner is my top pick when it comes to finding cheap flight tickets and saving money to travel.įor absolutely all the cheap tickets I buy, I use Skyscanner's website or app - which doesn't mean that I always book with them either. 3 February 2019 / The ClaimCompass Blog How to Use Skyscanner's Best Features to Save Money on Flights
