CheapOair Reviews Summary

The company has established a strong reputation for its user-friendly platform and competitive pricing, with many customers praising the efficiency of the booking process and the helpfulness of customer service representatives. However, some concerns have been raised regarding communication issues, particularly related to flight changes and refunds, leading to frustration among users. While the majority of feedback highlights a positive experience, instances of delayed support and difficulties in correcting booking errors suggest areas for improvement. Overall, the company is viewed as a reliable option for budget-conscious travelers, yet it must enhance its customer service responsiveness.

This company will allow you to waste your money with conflicting dates pushed to the top of the mobile screen. Read carefully before purchasing at what you think is a good price. HOOPER charged me 180 for what I originally thought was 276 on this sh**! USE ANYONE ELSE.

Really hard to navigate and read your site. I've rented a car through your site and can't find any mention of it. Not very happy right now.

Good Customer Sevice
November 13, 2019

Update: I was very frustrated and couldn't believe money was pulled out twice. But after talking to customer service, my problem was resolved right away. I was told a full refund was issued today and I should receive it soon. A manager even called to check up on me. I don't remember the man that helped me but he was very nice.

I cancelled my ticket with CheapoAir and they refunded everything, a day later they charged everything back and said it was because of a flight change. Yet in my account it says I have no flights anywhere. I am still waiting for a response and also for a full refund. I am never buying tickets from them again

I was on hold for over half hour and still waiting for flight cancellation confirmation. When the service representative came back after putting me on hold a second time he informed me he had taken care of everything and resolved the issues. I was thinking he was stalling hoping I would hang up, but the service representative was working hard to fix the situation. I was embarrassed that I thought the worst, but the service representative needed the time to correct, I will say it was not their fault either. I really appreciate Cheapoair staying with the issue until resolved. Cheapoair went above beyond in their service and they for sure have my future business.

CheapoAir Booking # 64320752
December 4, 2019

Cheapo claims they tried to write their wrong thru this site. They are liars and cheats. I got no refund from CheapoAir or United Air due this covid virus. I booked the trip Nov 1 for Apr 7. Many emails about flight changes and upcoming trips but no refunds from either one. They were unavailable by phone and email. I hate them.

CheapOair books you with airlines and then after you show how your itinerary makes no sense. They take zero responsibility for there mistakes but in turn, blame you. Small airlines they offer that they have you cancel only to rebook with. But after that, they rebook you with that same very airlines. They have very shady business practices. I know this has happened way too many times as I've done it twice already with them. Platinum status what a joke, email them to redeem those points also!

I recently booked one of the round trip flight deals through CheapOair. At the time I was booking my flight tickets I could see single flight carriers each way, requiring me to pay for carry on baggage to and fro. Once I booked my tickets, the confirmation had two flight carriers added each way requiring me to pay double the money to and fro even for the transit flights. This deceptive information made my trip costlier than most of the expensive flights, requiring me to spend endless hours in travel and pay double the money. The customer service did not only provide me with wrong flight timings and several individual emails for various transit trips but also refused to help me point blank.

A $ 211.00 flight turned into a $ 326.00 flight due to seat selection and baggage. As I booked my flight the seats I selected said zero dollars but wouldn't let me check out. Once I called the 854 number there was an additional charge. Very miss leading

Surprised and delighted. Customer service guy was called Mike. He did a great job. I am a bit wary of these OTAs and prefer to deal with airlines directly. But I was in a remote place and had to go somewhere even more remote and had no choice. Got a fair bit of runaround from some of them and then tried CheapoAir. Got nowhere at first and I thought this must be the usual thing and gave up but then Mike called me up, gave me a great deal, sorted everything out in a few minutes. Very impressed after all.

First red flag is how buggy and poorly formatted their website is
Have they heard of CSS, HTML, and Javascript? It's so wonky and poorly designed. They do not have a simple user interface.

Second of all they scammed me out of my money! They stole $66.95 dollars from me and I had to dispute this with the bank. I still have not received my plane ticket that I wanted. They tried to call and said I will lose my money and my plane ticket.

What a scam!

Then they spam your email with so many fake offers and promotions. They already have my money! I don't have a plane ticket.

Tickets for Sub-Saharan Africa are too high
October 28, 2019
Updated review

Tickets and Luggage are too expensive, especially for Africa (Sub-Saharan and Central). This is an emergency travel, our father is very sick. No leisure. I have to make my sister as a tourist to visit our parents, because, there is no box that matches. She is French because she was born in France, unlike our parents. Our father is very sick. We hoped to be able to carry medicine or more vitamins... and medical equipment's and we have a lot of expenses. I will have to purchase one additional ticket.
