Search Skyscanner flights one way or round trip. Each itinerary returns a price in GBP, a public Skyscanner url, one leg (one way) or two legs (round trip) with airports, local departure and arrival times, duration in minutes, number of stops, marketing and operating carriers and the flight numbers, plus the three cheapest booking offers. Add return_date for a round trip. The whole result list is sorted and cut to limit, there is no cursor. Results are collected live: a one-way search usually takes 2 to 15 seconds and a round trip up to 40 seconds. complete is false when Skyscanner was still collecting offers at the time limit. A search without flights is a successful empty response.
