Does Skyscanner find cheap flight tickets?

Skyscanner is a service that compares flight prices, either directly with airlines or through various travel agencies.

Many travellers blindly trust it as the website where they always find the most affordable flight tickets.

But is this true? Is Skyscanner indeed the cheapest website for flight tickets?

Skyscanner started as a flight comparison website and now also offers flight tickets directly, without third-party involvement, and sets its own prices.

Previously (and still in some markets), prices came directly from travel agencies only, and Skyscanner had no involvement.

Back then, Skyscanner flights were indeed among the cheapest on the market, as the website compared dozens of sites to offer you the lowest prices, all gathered in one place!

But what happens now?

After its acquisition by the Chinese Ctrip, Skyscanner started selling tickets “directly” through its website. This has given it a crucial role in price setting.

With a huge database of travellers accumulated over the years, Skyscanner manages to sell thousands of flight tickets every hour!

The full transition to direct flight sales is happening gradually, country by country.

It began in China, where, in cooperation with Ctrip, Skyscanner sells competitive flights in the domestic and international markets.

The next step will be in other markets where Skyscanner wants to expand.

 

Disadvantages of Skyscanner

Skyscanner simply offered flight tickets and nothing more. If you had an issue with your booking, a cancellation, or a change, you would have to speak directly with your airline.

In contrast, Greek websites that collaborate with Greek travel agencies offer a wide range of services (with corresponding charges) to support Greek travellers.

They make it easy for you to handle any matter, such as ticket changes, cancellations, refunds, etc.
