Localisation
If you have specific localisation requirements, you can use the parameters locale, market or currency to set specific values for your referral links.
Skyscanner Recommendation: We strongly encourage you to provide the localisation parameters (locale, market, currency) to set specific values for your referral links. This allows you to control the language, market, and currency to optimise your users’ experience on the Skyscanner domain.
Market-Specific Product Mix: Setting the localisation parameters is important because Skyscanner’s offering differs from market to market, depending on our Supply Partners’ offerings—the mix of suppliers and even pricing can differ from one market to another. To create the best experience, we encourage you to match the Skyscanner market that you will send the customer to via the Referral Link with your customer’s home market. This will give you the best chance to show them the most accurate and comprehensive product offering (e.g., if your customer is from Spain, redirecting them to the Spanish Skyscanner market will be the best course of action).
No Localisation Parameters: Please note that if no localisation parameters are set, the system will default to UK settings (en-GB locale, UK market, GBP currency). If all three parameters are provided, the system will respect each one individually. If only market is set but currency and/or locale are omitted, then the locale and currency values will automatically default to match the market (e.g. just specifying market=ES without a currency will default to currency=EUR and locale=es-ES). We strongly recommend setting all three parameters explicitly to avoid unexpected defaults.

Supported Locales, Languages, and Markets
Skyscanner supports a list of markets, locales, and currencies. To see the full list, please visit our Skyscanner page and navigate to the globe icon on the right-hand side (see photo below).
However, the best way to access the full list of markets, locales, and currencies, if you have access to our API, is via our Culture API.
If you don't have access to the APIs then this table can guide you to the same conclusions.
