About Skyscanner
Skyscanner (founded in Edinburgh) is one of the most powerful flight search engines. Its flexibility tools are the standout: search a destination of 'Everywhere' ranked by price, a whole-month view to spot the cheapest dates, and price alerts by email. It doesn't sell tickets itself, redirecting you to the cheapest airline or agent. The ideal place to start any flight search, especially if your dates or destination are flexible.
Pros

- 'Everywhere' search and whole-month view
- Effective price alerts
- Neutral: compares all, then redirects
Cons
- Booking completes on the partner site
- After-sales depends on the seller
