I had a ticket sold by Cheap-O-Air 28th Oct. From Tashkent to Dushanbe. When I checked in, my name was not in the passenger list. The Somoni Airlines asked me to check emails, and on the last one it was still 'PENDING', a month after payment was completed. I had to pay for the ticket on the spot, for the second time. This is the second time I dealt with the company. The first time was for a ticket 7 Nov from Dushanbe to Ashgabat. Turkmenistan is closed for tourism, so they refunded my insurance to cover flight changes, and then just told me they can not change the destination of the paid ticket because I have no insurance. They are like scammers! Totally unsatisfactory business practices! I don't see how they can still be in business! I will never use Cheap-O-Air again and will tell all my friends not to trust this company. Stephanie Villalba
Great site and service! The website is easy to use and the price is very good.
That was the worst customer service ever. I won't use your hotel service again.
Very happy with the price! Thank you Cheapoair! Yay!
Awesome
Ive never had issues, use them all the time
The booking process is going pretty good so far. I've flown FRONTIERS before a couple of times. The at-the-airport experience, customer service and quality of the actual planes leave much to be desired but as they say, "you get what you pay for", I guess. Overall, getting a low fare is the trade off, I suppose.
I love it, it's quick and easy, it's great I love it, it's quick and easy, it's great
Hard to use the app on my phone, lots of issues with check in. Same thing on my computer... Does really open up any of the pages.
Pretty easy to use online and get around the site pretty easy to choose options
Very easy and have many flight configure you can select
Easy booking, great pricing, showed options for alternate dates, which saved a lot for our travel plans
Too many screens to go through and additional fees for courtesy issues such as picking a seat. $15 fee for this? Really?!?!
CheapOair just saved me from a SCAM. Thank you! I'm very happy.
Ulysses was patient and helpful. He waited until I found my passport name. He was thorough in completing my reservation and flight itinerary
Very untrustworthy people and company. Booked and mistakenly switched the last name with the first name. BA trade support said that they should ask for a refund and we will refund them and then cheapo will issue new tickets. Cheapo refused to do that saying that the ticket is nonrefundable. Customer service is unprofessional. This seems like a big scam to me this company. They probably still asked BA for a refund. Customer support people are very rude and not willing to help, they will only push to sell you more stuff like travel insurance or baggage insurance.
Very user friendly and easy to pick/decline alternate dates!
I can't find anywhere to help me get a wheelchair for my mom
I have been using CheapOair whenever I plan to travel. It's straightforward and very convenient for emergency cases.
So far so good. I have just bought the ticket. Looking forward to a happy safe flight. Thank you.
Answer: I would not use Cheapo under any circumstances. Look at the 698 (!) complaints at the Better Business Bureau website. They hide under the name Fareportal, which is the parent company.
Answer: Don't use them. Book through the airline. I paid to select my seats, then a week before my flight they put me and my companion in the middle seats in different rows!
Answer: Security may not be an issue but they can cheat you by hiding information you should know. I would suggest to not use them and their customer service personnel are also worst I have ever seen.
Answer: Provide the 8 digit booking number and what you need assistance with. Our apologies for the inconvenience
Answer: You can't and they will steal your money like what they did to me
Answer: Because they are scam, they just want to steal money from our pocket
