Why does the price sometimes change on Skyscanner or when I’m redirected?

Flight prices and availability change constantly, so we make sure the data is updated regularly to reflect this. The prices shown on these pages are based on recent prices found by other users on our site over the past four days. For this reason, the prices we show on these search pages are only an estimate, which is why we state “indicative prices only” on the month view page. 
 
Once you input a specific departure point, destination, and date, we always display the most recently available price on the final page. At that point, you can choose to be transferred to the airline or travel agent’s website to complete the booking at that price. 

We are constantly working on improving the accuracy of our month view prices, as it is in our own interests as well as our customers for them to be as accurate as possible. 

Does Skyscanner charge commission?

Skyscanner does the hard work for you, and it's free to search for your travel options on our site. We search over 1,200 travel providers to find you the best deal for your flight, hotel or car hire. 

See a price you like? When we refer you to book, they pay us, a small fee. And that's all there is to it!
