Does Skyscanner let you choose seats?

Skyscanner is not an online travel agents - it is simply a website that finds flights for you and then you book direct with the airline. Booking seats and special requirements for meals are usually done after payment in my experience, no matter which airline you're flying with.

Weaknesses of Skyscanner As with Google Flights, Skyscanner sometimes displays ghost fares that are no longer active. And, while it does have great flexible date searching, its fare calendar doesn't live-update, which means the pricing you see for less frequently searched routes might be incomplete.

Our goal is to make the fares you see as transparent as possible. This means we don't take any kind of fee or influence your search results in any way.

As a travel search engine, Skyscanner doesn't take your booking or payment ourselves. Instead, we pass you through to your chosen airline or travel agent, where you make your booking directly. We, therefore, don't have access or visibility to any of your booking information.

In fact, most regular airlines now charge for seat selection anyways. It's often around $10-$30 per seat per flight segment, so if you cave in and pay for that, it can add up quickly. You shouldn't do it. No matter which airline you're flying on, don't ever pay to select a seat.

What's a Hacker Fare? Instead of making you book one round-trip ticket from a single airline, KAYAK plays airfare matchmaker by finding two one-way tickets that together make a round-trip flight. Sometimes that means you might take a different airline home than the one you took to your destination.
