Skyscanner

The comparison portal Skyscanner was launched in 2003 with the main goal of bringing visitors the cheapest airline tickets in all available categories.

The first branch was opened in 2003 in Edinburgh. A few years later, the company expanded into Asia, allowing another office to open in Singapore, which was followed by Miami and London. Through acquisitions with smaller companies and startups, Skyscanner also operates in Budapest and the UK.

Today, the site operates in 30 languages and it is visited by over 100 million people per month. It also wins its supporters by being environmentally friendly. Thanks to eco-friendly labels, you can filter your search for flights based on the lowest CO2 emissions.

In addition to a wide range of flights worldwide, you can also compare the best deals on accommodation, travel insurance and car hire on Skyscanner.

With coverage of more than 1200 transport companies, you can count on always finding the best connections. Plus, in a fraction of the time it would take to actually browse individual airlines or hotels.

Use Skyscanner's simple search engine to quickly see flight deals for your chosen destination and date. You can also choose to type "Search anywhere" and choose your destination by lowest price. You will then be redirected to the seller's website to complete your purchase and make payment for your dream trip.

The Skyscanner portal functions only as an online comparison finder. Booking and payment of tickets is always done directly on the carrier's website. Before submitting payment, we recommend you to look at reviews of a particular airline. Also, always be cautious if there is something you don't like about the website. While Skyscanner does exclude unreliable sellers from its listings, you can't be 100% sure that you won't come across a fraudulent site or an unreliable company.

Skyscanner's sophisticated filtering system will always offer the best flights according to your criteria. Thanks to the "Anywhere" feature, you'll also get the lowest prices regardless of your destination. So if you are an enthusiastic low-cost traveller, you will be pleased with this option. For example, you can get from Prague to London this for approximately EUR 20 (GBP 17 or USD 23).

You can also search for the cheapest tickets using our cheap ticket finder.

The Skyscanner portal has a 4.3 stars out of 5 rating on Trustpilot.com, which is very solid. Skyscanner has many loyal visitors, who return to the site repeatedly to get the best deals. However, there are still some dissatisfied customers, who have had their flights cancelled, for example.

Unfortunately, as mentioned, this is only a comparison site, not a retailer. Skyscanner is not directly responsible for cancellations or any conditions for passengers. Therefore, we always recommend that you check in advance which retailer you are buying the service from. In any case, the company's customer service team always tries to resolve these unpleasant situations to the customer's satisfaction and they will remove the seller from its offer if they do unfair practices.

The whole site is packed with the best deals on cheap flights, accommodation, insurance and car hire. Skyscanner doesn't list separate promotions, but we recommend signing up for the newsletter so that you don't miss out on any great deals. Another way to stay in the loop is to download the Skyscanner app to your smartphone.

As mentioned above, the Skyscanner portal acts only as a search finder and the purchase itself takes place directly with the provider of the specific service. This is also linked to the cancellation and refund policy, which varies from company to company. We definitely recommend that you familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions before making a purchase. This will prevent any misunderstandings and complications along the way.

Probably the best alternative to Skyscanner is the portal eSky, which also offers comparisons of the cheapest flights, accommodation and car hire. The advantage is that the eSky website allows you to buy directly, so you don't have to worry about buying from an unverified seller.

The company's head office is located in the United Kingdom at 338 Euston Road in London. Given that Skyscanner's comparison engine only displays the best deals, but purchases are made exclusively on the specific retailer's website, you probably won't need to contact the company.

If you do find yourself in a situation where you want to contact Skyscanner with any questions, you can do so via the contact form or email address support.cz@skyscanner.net.

Seven days a week, a team of staff speaking a total of 29 world languages is at your service. You can expect a response to your enquiry within 24 hours.
