My son booked a flight and within 10 mins we were told the flight had doubled its price and then we couldn't get a refund unless we spent the $400. It was a nightmare asking them to cancel the flight, their customer service email was non existent for me to cancel the flight. In the end I spoke to my bank a few hours later and had the card cancelled so they couldn't make a transaction. This is a total scam website, out of India.
CheapfareDeal is a scam. I booked a flight which cost $387.00. After charging me they said they were unable to get me the flights at that price, they wanted an additional $1100. 00. When I told them I wouldn't pay the additional amount they refused to refund my $387.00. Total scam outfit
This site is a scam. Their misleading practices. They advertise prices that are no longer available for flights. You will never receive a confirmation but instead a phone call to tell you one of your flights is no longer available and to lure you to buy a more expensive flight. And they will try and tell you that even thought one of your flights wasn't available they will still charge your card. They are so rude. SCAM SCAM SCAM. They are out of India and you cant even understand them. DO NOT USE THIS SITE!
Please do not use these people they are running a scam and using it on everyone the same. Check the BBB. They stated they booked flights just to come back and say you have to pay an additional $500 for tickets no longer on sale, try to make you sign permission to debit your card, lie about cancellation, make additional calls after booking stating you need more to book and the ticket has already been paid. They put their info on the ticket to change or cancel at will. If you cancel or tell them to stop calling they cancel the ticket and charge you $500 in fees. YOU WILL HAVE TO CANCEL YOUR CARD AND CALL YOUR BANK BUT NOT BEFORE THEY ROB YOU BLIND! DO NOT DO IT! I HAD TO CALL THE AIRLINES TO SEE THEY HAD GOT THE TICKET AT A CHEAP PRICE BUT CHARGED APPROXIMATELY AN EXTRA $200 THEY CALLED BACK FOR $597 MORE SAYING THEY COULD NOT BOOK THE TICKET AT THE PRICE ON SITE ADN THE TICKET WAS ALREADY COMFIRMED WITH THE AIRLINES DAYS PRIOR, AFTER I CHANGED THIER EMAIL ADDRESS TO MINE, SMH. STOP THEM IMMEDIATELY!
DO NOT EVER USE CHEAPDEALSFARE via cheapflights.com! They book you at one fare then freeze your flight and call you back and say that flight can't be booked bc it didn't charge you the correct "taxes" and upcharge you $140! It did this to my nephew. Believe me we had words when I called them! It's CRIMINAL!
I fell for everything that the reviews talk about regarding CheapDealsFare. They don't honor the published fare, they lie about the airline putting a hold on the reservation, and they ask for more money to be able to book the flight.
STAY AWAY FROM THEM! You'll be scammed.
Don't go this route! OMG! I booked with Cheapdealsfare for a great price and was called at midnight to be told the airline did not accept my booking. After being on the phone trying to get rebooked I ended up with a bill twice the price of the original booking. After calling the airline I found out that I would have saved $200 to have booked directly with the airline! Within the 24 hour window I called to cancel. They would give me half of my money back! After talking to the BBB I had the right to cancel for a full refund as they were dishonest. What an absolute nightmare! I have a claim on file with the BBB to investegate if my money is not returned in full within the next 48 hours. Please, oh please beware!
I was given a price of $300 round trip. I submitted with my payment. Later (maybe an hour) I received an email to call to confirm. What. I called they said they could only get the return trip. That the cost would now be $900. I told them I was not interested and they tried to tell me that the return trip was already confirmed and paid for and I could not cancel the return trip. They argued that I have to pay for the return trip. They could not understand that I bought a package (to & from) I was not interested in one way. They continued to charge me for the package even though it was not complete as they had originally proposed.
Stay clear of this company. I hope you see the reviews before you put in your credit card information.
I booked a flight online, did most of the work. Thought booking was done. Got a call next day, had to re-book due to issues. Did not realize I was going to be paying extra ($400) for this, thought I had made reservations myself, not someone from Cheapdealsfare. Would never use this company again.
Received my itinerary and when I got to airport discovered that they booked my flight for the day before. Now they won't respond to my emails or phone calls. Do not use this service.
I wish I could give these people zero stars because they will sell u a ticket, not confirm and fraudulently make you pay more with hidden charges when you get to the airport. Stay away from this website, shady business
What a disaster it's been dealing with this airline ticket purchase. Because their billing is so confusing, I'm now fighting with my credit card company to get back the extra agency fee they were paid. STAY AWAY!
The price of my trip that was emailed to me was not honored, instead an extra $300 was required to get actual seats. Customer service was terrible, don't believe the checkout price, they will add fees after and con you out of money.
I booked a flight with them and I was called a few hours later and told my return flight had been cancelled, and I had to book a different one for an extra $200... dishonest!
OFFER YOU LOW FARES THEN CALL BACK AND CAN'T BOOK AT THAT RATE,,,BUT,,THEN CAN BOOK AT HIGHER PRICE. DO NOT USE. "JACK WATSON" "CUSTOMER SERVICE" DON'T BELIEVE A WORD. NOTHNG BUT A SCAM.
Booked 3 economy seats from their website for a United Airlines flight. The cost was a little over $1300. They called me, I didn't answer because it came up as potential span. Then they emailed me saying to contact them. When I called, they told me that all the economy seats were sold but they could still get us on the flight in the main cabin for over $2400. I told them that that was unacceptable. As he was looking for better deals, I was looking at the Southwest site where I could get 3 tickets for $1600. He told me he could get us on that Southwest flight for the 1600 and then quickly said that those seats weren't available but had seats in main cabin for $1900. As he was telling me this, I was booking my flight for the $1600. I told the agent that they were practicing Bait & Switch activities and demanded to talk to the manager in charge. After waiting a few minutes on hold, the manager told me the exact same thing as the agent - big surprise!. I told him that I already booked with Southwest for the $1600 and their Bait & Switch tactics aren't working and I was going to report them to the proper authorities. DO NOT USE THIS SITE!
Terrible support.
They sold me a flight from Calif to Penna. Told me dates were 17th to 25th... sent me an itinerary with those dates and when I called to confirms 24 hours prior to departure. American Airlines told me the flight just left and I had to rebook. Cost me $400.0 more do the real date of the flight was supposed to depart the 24th. What a screww up. Called and cheapdealsfare told me I signed the agreement that the dates wetre right. Yes accotding to what you told me but the dates you guys had were error with American Airlines. Called support and emailed suport with proof they got the dates wrong and crickets. DO NOT USE THESE LOSERS.
SEE PIC FLIGHT #2300 LEFT PHIL. ON THE 24TH NOT 25TH
BAIT AND SWITCH - they show economy prices and after I booked they said all economy seats are booked on the flight down so the cost is actually $400 more, so I asked them to cancel my purchase but they already booked the return flight & said they can't refund that money, instead I can only have e-credit with that airline. This is completely unacceptable. This business is fraudulent. They lie on their site. Do not use them.
I had to quickly block my credit card. Once you book a ticket they will start calling you wanting your card info over the phone. They say you will get a cheaper fee by paying over the phone. After they called me 4 or 5 time within 10 minutes I told the person I wanted to cancel the ticket and I was told I could not cancel. SO I had to block my credit card before it could be charged. The airfair prices are low on this site for a reason. SCAM
This is a scam company. You book, they call and say it's unavailable and then try and charge you extra for nothing. STAY AWAY
I made a reservation for round trip ticket, Salt Lake City to Bangor and back. Waited and waited for email confirmation which never came. About an hour after making the reservations online, I got a call from an agent at Cheapfare..., asking me if there was another airport, another date, etc. Another airport? Has she ever looked at a map of Maine? LOL. I was clearly a victim of bait and switch and right off the bat told her," I want a refund. I'm only interested in the deal I clicked for. Refund me now." She tried to convinced me it was "normal" to have to haggle over the specifics and I told her," I'm going to call the bank" about 3 times until she agreed and said," Ma'am, I'm issuing a full refund." Don't use this vendor!
I had a very great experience with my sales representative Mr Jack. Thanks for having a wonderful rep. He handle my call very well and completed my booking without any problem.
First, they show you a great price when you book it. Once you give your credit card and all other information, they put you on pending and then they say outgoing flight is not confirmed but your inflight is confirmed. Then they will say that the outgoing flight was sold out on economy but available in higher class with additional $$ and try to sell you a higher price ticket. What a bunch of Con Artist.
Avoid at all costs!
I booked a flight through this scam company. Later I received an email saying I needed to call them to confirm my ticket. For starters, the number provided was a Chinese number, not a toll free number.
Once I called them they told me the fare I paid for wasn't available and I needed to pay a higher price and take a different return flight. When I told them I did not agree and I want either the flight I paid for or a full refund, I was told I would be charged a cancellation fee.
After almost 30 minutes on the phone and threatening to report the charge as fraudulent if I wasn't given a full refund, they finally agreed.
Through the years I have booked dozens of tickets through their competitors with no problems. I will never be booking through CheapDealsFare again.
