Recent outages and issues we recorded for Skyscanner, based on our own checks. An episode opens on the second check that finds a problem, since a single adverse reading is not reported, and closes when a check finds the service normal again.

How we check Skyscanner
No evidence of problems with Skyscanner. Our last recorded check found it behaving normally. That does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.
Every check runs a four-tier cascade and stops at the first tier that gives a clear answer: Skyscanner's official status feed, then a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP network ping, and finally reports from visitors. The Verification tier box above tells you which one produced the verdict you are looking at. When enough separate people report a problem for it to be well outside what Skyscanner normally sees, that counts as evidence too, which is how a partial fault can show here before an operator's own status page catches up.
Skyscanner (skyscanner.com) is re-checked continuously, and this page picks up any change on its own, with no refresh needed.
Common Skyscanner problems users report
- Search results page won't load or times out when entering flight details
- Flight prices and availability data not updating or showing stale information
- Redirect to airline or booking partner websites fails or returns errors
- Map view and filter options not responding when trying to narrow search results
What to do when Skyscanner is not working
First check the banner above. If it shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Skyscanner's side and waiting is usually the only option. If it shows nothing wrong, clear your browser cache and cookies, try searching from a different device or network, check if specific airlines or routes work while others do not, and verify your VPN or proxy is not blocking access to partner booking sites.
About Skyscanner
Skyscanner is a flight and travel search engine that aggregates prices from airlines and travel agencies worldwide. When Skyscanner is down, users cannot search for flights, compare prices, or access booking links to complete their travel purchases. Outages prevent travelers from planning trips and comparing fares across multiple carriers.
Frequently asked questions
Is Skyscanner down right now?
No. Our checks are finding no problems with Skyscanner right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Skyscanner continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.
What usually goes wrong with Skyscanner?
The problems visitors report most often on this page are search not working, website / app down, slow or laggy, can't connect, no response / timing out, checkout or payment, API errors and images not loading. Those are the options the report button offers for Skyscanner, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.
Why is Skyscanner not searching for me when this page says it is fine?
Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Skyscanner specifically, Skyscanner aggregates live data from hundreds of airlines and GDS systems, so outages at individual carriers or their APIs can break search for specific routes or airlines while others work, and regional API endpoints may fail independently. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.
How do I tell whether it is Skyscanner or my own connection?
For Skyscanner, try searching for a common route like London to New York on both the web and mobile app, and check if the same flights appear in results across both platforms and multiple searches. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.
What should I do while Skyscanner is down?
If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Skyscanner's side. Specifically: do not repeatedly refresh or resubmit searches, as this floods their aggregation systems and delays recovery for everyone; instead, wait 10 minutes and try a different route to confirm the outage is widespread. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.
How does status.buzz check Skyscanner?
Continuously, around the clock. Skyscanner does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe skyscanner.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what Skyscanner says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.
Is status.buzz affiliated with Skyscanner?
No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Skyscanner or skyscanner.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Skyscanner's own support, not us.
