How easy is it to navigate around the site? We tried and tested it out and graded..

Flying High

Check out the endless destinations you can fly to by using Skyscanner's amazing interactive flights map.

From landing on the home page, you can see that this site is easy to navigate. Simply type in where you are flying from and where you want to go and let the search engine do the rest. In terms of design, less is more here. This site is minimalist without thousands of links on the home page. There are only three links at the top flights, car hire and hotels and at the footer there are links leading to information about the company, city and country directories. Plus lots of different language options, from Portuguese to Russian.

Where in the world can I go? We grade the airlines on the number and range of destinations bookable online; are they global enough for us?.

This site covers almost every corner of the earth, so no problems here. Users can browse the universe of online flights at the click of a button and compare prices. The sky is the limit!

Value for Money: 6/10

Are you saving money? Booking direct with the airline should save you money, but we compare to other airlines running the same route, and the bookers to find out if this site holds true to that..

The great thing about Skyscanner is that it shows you the cheapest flights very clearly at the top of the list after you search. You would assume that buying tickets direct from the airline would be cheaper, but here the prices are almost the same. In fact, sometimes you can find cheaper flights here than at the airline's site. We took a sample and looked at a flight from Washington to London, the cheapest option was with Singapore airlines, around $565.

Online check-in: 7/10

Can I check-in online? Does the website give you the chance or have links to check-in online, and more importantly, how easy is the process?.

Skyscanner is not an airline, so you can't directly check-in online here, but once your booking is made, you will receive a confirmation email and you can check-in direct at the airline or operator's website.

Going Mobile

What kind of deals do these sites offer? Are there last minute specials to be had, and what about a winter clearance? We evaluate the frequency and decency of their deals..

The side bar of the Home Page offers deals on a range of flights and hotels. There are also ads direct from companies and sponsored links from sites like edreams.com. However, there is no separate page for Special Offers and if you don't read the small ads, these could easily be missed.

Clubs: 6/10

What flight clubs are on offer? How do these sites treat their regular customers? Points for handling pre-flight requests, giving us the VIP treatment, and frequent flyer bonuses.

As this is a search engine flight portal, not a specific airline, there is no customer reward club. But users can download their toolbar and widgets, which are very useful and even sign-up for Air Mail their regular newsletter, so you need never miss another flight deal.

Advance Search: 6/10

Do they meet your needs? What are the advance search options on the site and how flexible or specific do they allow you to be? Can you view flights in a calendar view, and can you search for a specific flight time?.

Quite simply this is one of the most advanced flight search engines out there, if you can't find your flight here then start praying. Advance search options include an excellent easy-to-use calendar that highlights the cheapest flights in your search throughout the month great for flexible travelers looking for good deals. You can also use their flight maps for making your trip easier or use refined searches such as weekend deals.
