Displayed prices are for multiple nights. Check the site for price per night. I see hostels starting at 200b/day and hotels from 500b/day on agoda.

UK guys beware fly.co.uk on Skyscanner


Recommended Posts

I have been reading on moneysavingexpert (Martin Lewis) about many disgruntled passengers who initially used Skyscanner which showed fly.co.uk as the cheapest flights (not BKK).

Then added charges and other problems including big cancellation charges showed this company to be very troublesome at best.

The company is Germany based, maybe Leipzeig, so no UK consumer protection.

It is not Skyscanner that is suspect but fly.co.uk, if thinking of booking with this company it may be best to do a good Google search beforehand.

Sky scanner is just a search engine for flights on many many different websites. It's a little unfair to be blaming them for this.

 

As with all things to do with money, especially when booking flights, read the small print (conditions) that deals with the price for that flight!!

I have just read through the money saving expert forum and done a sample flight booking on fly.co.uk.

 

Prices look to be similar to other search engines and show the airfare, taxes and price on the first screen No doubt there is a credit card surcharge as is normal.

 

Only one guy on money saving expert seems to have had a problem with his CC bill being £30.00 more than he expected but did he not see the taxes and cc surcharge? In another instance the site asked for proof of identity but this was a pretty standard request.

 

Its a European company and bound by European consumer law.

 

Wouldn't use it though as it only gives prices for one of the four direct carriers from Heathrow to Bangkok.
