How Skyscanner works: does Skyscanner process my payment when I book flights?
If you use Skyscanner regularly to search for cheap flights, this article will answer a few questions we get asked regularly. Skyscanner is a travel search engine that enables you to compare flight fares across from the Internet and decide which one suits you best. We rank travel options by default based on a combination of price and length of journey. Once you decide the flight which is the best for you and hit the green ‘Select’ button, we transfer you to the airline’s or travel agent’s website where your payment is processed.
Does Skyscanner have any role to play in processing my payment?
No. As we said before, we only provide you all the available flight options and fares. Once you select your flight, your payment is processed by the selected airline or travel agent. We do not have access to personal details and booking information as your bookings are made directly by the entity you are transferred to.
Where does my money go after I have made the booking?
Your money goes to the travel agent or airline, not to us. That’s why we are free to use.
