Major Highlights of the Week

Price Discrepancies
Users frequently encounter discrepancies between the prices shown in the app and the actual prices on booking sites, leading to frustration and mistrust. This inconsistency undermines the app's reliability as a price comparison tool.
The app shows a flight price of $500, but when redirected to the booking site, the price jumps to $900.
Security Concerns
There are alarming reports of credit card information being compromised after transactions through the app, raising serious data security concerns. Users are left vulnerable to fraud, damaging trust in the platform.
After using a unique credit card number for a transaction on the app, my card details were stolen.
Glitchy Interface
The app's interface is plagued with glitches, such as crashing and incorrect filter applications, which disrupts the user experience and makes it difficult to complete bookings. These technical issues need urgent resolution to improve usability.
The app crashes every time I try to filter flights by date, making it impossible to book.
Misleading Flight Options
The app suggests flight options with impractical layovers or connections, leading to missed flights and additional costs for users. This misguidance results in a poor travel experience and dissatisfaction.
A suggested flight had a layover that required changing terminals with insufficient time, causing me to miss my connection.
Unreliable Price Alerts
Price alerts are either delayed or fail to notify users of changes, rendering the feature ineffective for those relying on timely updates to secure the best deals. This diminishes the app's value proposition.
I set a price alert, but the app failed to notify me of a $300 increase, causing me to miss out on a better deal.
Third-Party Booking Issues
Users face challenges with third-party booking sites linked through the app, including unresponsive customer service and unexpected additional charges. This reflects poorly on Skyscanner's partner vetting process.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I set a price alert for direct flights, but Skyscanner lost track of the only direct flight and didn't inform me about the price increase. I found out the hard way that the only reliable way to see all flights is to go directly through the airline apps. The flight has now gone up $300, and I'm canceling my trip because of this.

Prices mentioned in this app are not reliable at all. It takes you to other travel websites, and by the time you reach that particular site, the prices have changed. At first, I thought it was just by chance, but in reality, it is very common on this app.
Tarang Parashar
Skyscanner used to be fantastic, but the app has gone downhill. The price drop feature doesn’t work anymore, and it’s constantly stuck in buffer mode. Even worse, the prices it shows are rarely what you actually find once you click through—they just don’t match up.
