Basis vs Skyscanner
Which is better?
Why Basis is different?
Skyscanner is a great tool for comparing low-cost options—especially for economy travelers focused purely on price. But that price-first approach comes with tradeoffs. It often routes travelers through third-party sites known for hidden fees, poor support, and failure to notify customers of schedule changes. That’s not the kind of experience premium travelers should settle for.
Skyscanner is also heavily ad-driven, prioritizing sponsored listings over what’s actually best. While that might work for budget travelers, business and first class flyers expect something different: a seamless booking experience, white-glove support, and the confidence that they didn’t overpay.
FlyBasis is built entirely around that expectation

Why this chart matters?
Not all flight search engines are built the same. Basis focuses exclusively on premium fares—this means a different set of features designed for serious travelers, not budget hunters.
