Budgetair

Hello everyone, My gf and I are planning a holiday. I went onto skyscanner and then went onto the actual airline's website.

It's very strange as the airline's website is 100 euros more expensive than what skyscanner was giving me.

Skyscanner redirected me to a website called budgetair. I was just wondering, is budgetair legit or are they a scam?

I've used budgetair plenty of times for work bookings. What I've found is that if there is no problem budgetair and most of the third party booking sites are fine. However if there is an issue with the flight or changes are required, it can be more problematic to deal with the third parties and you may also find that you have to pay higher fees to make changes.

Skyscanner is not a booking website. It gives you an overview of all prices on booking websites, including the ones directly from the airline or hotel The prices they give are not live prices but rather ones they collected from previous searches. Once you select your flight it will check the live price and direct you to the relevant website so you can book your ticket. Here the price may be different as the previous search may have been some time ago.

Now, Budgetair is a site you can trust from my experience but I would be surprised if it would be cheaper than on the airline website. Bear in mind that the prices shown from Budgetair at first are sometimes also not correct and can change once you select the flight.

3rd party booking sites don't have access to live pricing

I booked with budgetair a few times, no problems at all.
