Skyscanner review

Skyscanner places second because it combines broad airline and agency coverage with the best tools for travelers whose dates or destination are open. Its US App Store listing says it compares airlines and online travel agencies, naming Expedia, Kiwi.com, Trip.com and Agoda alongside carriers such as United, Delta and Spirit, and that it charges no booking fees. Tapping Everywhere in the search bar lists low fares to any destination, and the calendar view shows the cheapest dates across a chosen month, which is the fastest way to find a low fare when you can move your trip. Price Alerts tell you when a saved flight changes price, and filters cover duration, stops, cabin class and departure times. The trade-offs are that Skyscanner hands you off to the airline or agency to book, so changes and refunds run through them, and the listing does not publish a partner count. We compared documented features and published information; we did not book test trips.
