VERDICT

Should I use Skyscanner（スカイスキャナー）?

Find the cheapest flights fast - skyscanner.net

Worth it. Use Skyscanner if you hunt cheap flights and want to compare airlines and agencies side by side at no cost. Skip it if you want one-stop booking with someone to call when things break — it only redirects you to third parties.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 14 public sources, mostly Japanese travel blogs plus Skyscanner's own security page.

Best for

  • Anyone wanting to book, pay, and get support in one place
  • Travelers unwilling to vet sketchy budget OTAs

  • Corporate travel buyers needing invoices or policy controls

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

Cheapest listings are often small overseas OTAs; if the booking breaks, recourse is limited

medium

Price shown can differ once you reach the agency's site; recheck before paying

medium

You never transact with Skyscanner; refunds and changes are the airline's or agency's problem

low

Many blog recommendations carry affiliate tracking links (associateid/utm); cross-check fares yourself

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Compares about 1,200 airline and agency sites in real time
  • Includes overseas agencies Japanese comparison sites miss
  • Search without a set destination, or across whole months

Cons

  • Cheapest results often come from risky overseas agencies
  • Fares can change after you click through to the booking site
  • Doesn't sell tickets itself; you book with third parties

What users say

Free fare metasearch across ~1,200 sites — great for price hunting, but you book (and fight) with third-party OTAs, not Skyscanner.
