Skyscanner - safe to buy tickets??? - Rick Steves
Dec 13, 2012 · This is actually quite common with travel websites, not just with Skyscanner.

It wastes a lot of time and, obviously, isn't all that helpful for purchasing IMHO.
Possible silly question about Skyscanner - Rick Steves

Train ticket prices on rome2rio - Rick Steves Travel Forum
Feb 22, 2020 · And use skyscanner.com (or airline search engine of your choice) for airfare. Train fares can vary greatly by day of travel, time of travel, type of train and date of purchase.
