Weaknesses of Skyscanner As with Google Flights, Skyscanner sometimes displays ghost fares that are no longer active.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.

MORE DETAILS

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.

For changes, cancellations or refunds, we recommend that you contact the travel provider that you completed your booking with. 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.

Some people have pointed out that Kiwi.com doesn't include budget airlines around Asia and Southeast Asia, so for that, Skyscanner still wins out for best budget airline coverage amongst all the fare aggregators.

User Friendly Interface While Skyscanner and Google Flights share many of the same features, a big difference between the two is the interface. While Skyscanner has a fun and friendly interface, Google has more of a minimal and clean approach.

Bottom line: Google Flights and Skyscanner are two of the best sites for searching for flights. Both have some great functionality, but each also has some areas for improvement. That's why we often recommend pairing multiple search sites to ensure you're getting the best deal.
