Roameta vs SkyScanner

Beyond comparison: real protection, real savings.

We put in the work for you

Skyscanner helps you compare flight and hotel prices from across the web. Roameta helps you save after you book, automatically rebooking your stay if the price drops. 

With Price Drop Protection, real loyalty rewards, and 24/7 human support, Roameta turns booking into something you can truly trust.

Why this comparison matters

Both Roameta and Skyscanner aim to save you money on travel — but they take very different approaches. Skyscanner is a search engine that redirects you to third-party sites. Roameta is a booking platform that protects your reservation, helps you earn loyalty rewards, and provides ongoing support every step of your trip.

If you’re tired of juggling multiple tabs, hidden fees, or post-click surprises, this is what sets Roameta apart.

	Roameta	SkyScanner
Booking Type	Book directly with Roameta — transparent rates, no redirects.	Redirects to external booking sites.
Price Protection	Price Drop Protection — automatic rebooking if your hotel rate falls.	No post-booking protection. Once you leave Skyscanner, you’re on your own.
Transparency	All taxes and fees shown upfront.	Prices can change after redirection.

Support	24/7 real agents + in-person help via BNW Travel.	Limited — Skyscanner doesn’t handle bookings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of credits can Roameta track?

We track airline-issued flight credits and e-vouchers. If an airline provides a refund instead of credits, we record that too.

How long are credits valid?

Expiry depends on the airline’s policy, but we display available validity dates in your Roameta dashboard whenever possible.

Can I transfer credits to someone else?

Most airlines restrict credits to the original traveler. If transfer is allowed, we’ll let you know.

What happens if I cancel outside the app?

No problem, just contact our support team and we’ll add the credits to your account so everything stays organized.
