How should be read the date and times on flights from skyscanner?

I'm looking for a flight, Bucharest - Buenos Aires for 3rd of January 2019.

I found some flights with layovers but I don't understand the time and date on them.

Look at this screenshot:

The first part. It arrives in Nice at 10:10 AM and it has a 2h30m layover so it should take off at 12:40 PM but instead it says 3:55 PM.

Also the second one, if it arrives at 2:20 PM and has a layover of 7h40m it should take off at 10:00 PM.

Did the mixed up all the timezones? Here is the link of my search.

As someone who’s been working with Skyscanner data for Flightbot (https://flightbot.com), I can assure you that the data from Skyscanner (and other sites for that matter) are often flat out wrong. Their data is only as good as their sources.

Searching for this itinerary (Bucharest through Nice), this itinerary is totally flubbed. The first flight should be 10:10 to 11:40, not 11:40 to 10:10: https://www.google.com/flights#flt=OTP.NCE.2019-01-03.OTPNCE0RO401;c:USD;e:1;sd:1;t:f;tt:o;sp:.USD.11965; similarly, the other flights’ times are all reversed. Even flight search engines make mistakes!

Can you book flights through Skyscanner?

Yes, because you're still within the Skyscanner ecosystem and we help facilitate that booking for you. However, the airlines and the online travel agents are still the ones collecting your payment. You'll still receive any confirmation emails, e-ticket and vouchers from them directly.

Does Skyscanner show all airlines?

First things first: Skyscanner does not cover all airlines and all flights in the world! Even the famous Google Flights does not do this.
