  When’s the best time to book?

  Flight prices change all the time and the availability and pricing vary depending on a number of different factors. There is no sure fire way to guarantee the best prices, but some times of the year have historically been better than others. For example, there are often good flight deals to be found to many destinations in. If you’re flexible on dates, using Skyscanner's month and whole year searches can also be helpful in comparing prices. If you have fixed dates, you can try setting up price alerts which will let you know when the price changes. In general, our advice is to book a flight as soon as you find a price you are happy with. Whenever you decide to book, it’s reassuring to know that Skyscanner's system is designed to find you the best prices available at the time.

  How do you calculate a carbon footprint?

  Many factors are considered for each flight. Take-off is the most fuel-intensive part so flying direct tends to lower emissions. Newer planes tend to be more fuel efficient and the distance traveled also comes into play. Seat capacity is another factor: the more seats, the lower the fuel consumption per person. Skyscanner refer to the recommended emission factors from the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). They also apply a 1.9x radiative forcing index to account for a flight’s wider impact on climate change. Skyscanner's calculations are as accurate as possible, and we work continuously to improve this accuracy.

  Do I need a passport to make a booking?

  This can vary depending on the flight provider (airline or travel agent), and the specific route. Often for domestic flights a passport is not required, and other forms of ID are acceptable – the airline or travel agent with whom you intend to book should be able to provide this detail. Some providers request passport and ID at the time of booking and you won’t be able to complete your booking without these details, while with others may allow you to enter this information post-booking, or when you are doing online check-in a few days before travel.
