I found a great flight deal on Skyscanner for a trip to Asia, but when I click to book, I get directed to another website. Why can't I book on the same website?

The metasearch engine Skyscanner does not book flights. It searches travel websites and airlines to find cheap flights but doesn't sell tickets. Clicking through on Skyscanner deals usually takes you to the airline or OTA's website to book.

Therefore, the Skyscanner price may differ from the booking price. Skyscanner may not include baggage or seat selection fees. Due to platform delays, Skyscanner's fares may not match the airline's website's latest pricing.
