It\u2019s never been easier to find a cheap flight<\/a>. From deal finding websites like Going<\/a> to travel hacking tools like Point.me<\/a>, travelers have plenty of options for finding cheap tickets.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of options for searching fares. I mean you have Google Flights, Expedia, Orbitz, Momondo, and so many other websites touting that they will find the cheapest fares.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no one best<\/em> flight search website. They all have their blindspots. <\/p>\n

But, out of all the search engines I\u2019ve used, Skyscanner<\/a> is my all-time favorite. It always seems to find the best deals more often than the other websites and their ability to search globally means that they leave no stone unturned. It\u2019s my favorite.<\/p>\n

While Skyscanner is very straightforward to use, because of all its features, it helps to have a bit of a primer so that you can be sure you\u2019re taking advantage of all its capabilities. <\/p>\n

In this Skyscanner review, I\u2019ll show you how to make the most of the site so you can always find the best deal!<\/p>\n

What is Skyscanner?<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Skyscanner

It started in 2003 when three IT professionals became frustrated with how difficult it was to find cheap flights. Budget airlines were just beginning to pop up, but there was no central place to search across all airlines at once for the cheapest prices. So, they took matters into their own hands and created Skyscanner.<\/p>\n

In recent years, they\u2019ve added the ability to search for hotels and rental cars, and today, more than 100 million people worldwide use the app and website every month, with 80 billion prices searched every day. <\/p>\n

How Skyscanner Works<\/span><\/h3>\n

As it\u2019s predominantly a flight search engine, to use Skyscanner<\/a>you simply input your desired travel dates (you can search by specific dates or by month) and destination, and voila \u2014 all your flight options appear. You can search by airport, city, or even an entire country. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re flying to and from major cities with multiple airports (such as New York and Paris in the example below), you don\u2019t have to search between all the different airport combinations as it will sort them all out for you automatically.<\/p>\n

\"Skyscanner

I recommend using the month calendar view because you can immediately see the cheapest days to fly. Even if you have specific dates, it might be helpful to take a quick glance at the month view, because if you\u2019re able to shift your dates even by a couple of days, you could save hundreds of dollars: <\/p>\n

(Note<\/strong>: If a date doesn\u2019t have a price, that doesn\u2019t mean that there aren\u2019t any flights that day. It just means that no one has searched for that flight recently, so Skyscanner doesn\u2019t have updated data available. These dates are still searchable and a price will be added as soon as you search.)<\/p>\n

Once you choose specific dates, you\u2019ll get your results and can start refining your search even more until you find your perfect flight. At the top of the results, Skyscanner<\/a> gives you a helpful breakdown so you can immediately see the best, cheapest, and fastest flights. It automatically displays the best overall flight first, but you can toggle that to sort by cheapest, fastest, or time. <\/p>\n

You can also filter your search in a variety of ways, including: <\/p>\n
