If your plan is such that you will land in one city but take the backward journey from another city, go with the multi-city option.

You may not get the tickets as cheap as the round trip.

Skyscanner flight status

Skyscanner does not have its own flights, it's just an aggregator that takes you to the cheapest flight ticket provider. There is no "Flight Status" in Skyscanner.

Skyscanner Hotels:

You can book your hotel stay as well from this website. It scans various hotel providers like Booking.com, Trip.com, Hotels.com, Hyatt, Expedia, Intercontinental Hotels & Resorts, and many more.

Like any other Online Travel booking platform, Skyscanner has special business rates with the providers and it passes on some discounts to its customer while keeping their profits.

It has a very cool "loading" gif that brought a smile to my face while the hotel search was on.

Another nice feature that makes Skyscanner different from other platforms is the map view.

Here also, all the bookings are done by the actual providers or other agents, Skyscanner's job is just to take you to the site that is offering the cheapest hotel.

The hotel ratings displayed are that of Tripadvisor.

To compare Skyscanner Hotel booking with Priceline Hotel booking, I entered the same search criteria in both the sites and found Priceline rates were much higher.

Priceline Hotel Booking:

Skyscanner Hotel Booking:

The closest deal that Priceline hotel booking had was via its Pricebreaker Tool.

Skyscanner rental Car:

It groups the results as per the rate and you can book with any provider of your liking

I tried Skyscanner and Priceline car rental by providing the same inputs and found Priceline rates (image below) were almost double that of Skyscanner (image above).

Skyscanner website:

Skyscanner has both a website and app (iOS & Android). It has a very simple and intuitive interface making the booking very easy,

Skyscanner customer service:

Surprise, Surprise... Skyscanner does not have customer service. They do not take reservations, instead, they direct you to the actual provider site with special rates.

Any queries about booking, you will have to connect with the actual service provider. 

The contact details will be sent by email once you are done with the booking.

No chatbot or human to help here!!!

All the business logic will be handled by the api and you can create a UI on top of it with your branding!!
