That means you don’t pay us a thing. Nothing. No extras at all. When you find a flight and click to book, you will be booking directly with the airline or travel agent you’ve selected. We give you their latest best price and (unlike some other travel sites) we don’t add anything on top so you can finish booking your flights through us instead of doing the search all over again on another site. And we’re always updating to make sure we have the latest best prices Skyscanner searches constantly to make sure we have the latest prices for you to compare. When you see ‘live’ under the price you know that’s the latest best price offered by the airline or travel agent.Fares may sometimes change because of availability at the time of booking. If we think a price may have changed we’ll tell you when it was last updated. And when you click through on the ‘book’ button you can check to see if you are happy with the latest price before you buy. And finally, when you book, you have time to check and make changes if you wantWhen you’ve found the best flight price and clicked on it, you will be redirected to the airline or travel agent’s booking site.
