I always use Flightnetwork.com to search the cheapest flights when I travel which is often (10-20 times a year). This time was fast and I found what I wanted, as usual/expected.

Wanted to charge me over $1000 to change my flight that I booked within the hour. Then I tried to cancel and they charged me $560USD to cancel my flight. Nothing to do with the flight company this charge was from flight network. Complete scam please avoid this company at all costs.

The worst Flight Agency. I booked the ticket but I was not able to fly due to medical reason. So they told me I cannot change the date or cancel the ticket because it is the airline policy. I called airline and they told me since the ticket was bought through the agency, they cannot do anything for my case.

PATHETIC SERVICE
May 31, 2017

I booked my tickets to Canada from Australia and didn't have a good service.

Also again I tried to book a flight and they have taken a lot of money from me. I am trying to call them NO one is answering. Very poor service.
Do not recommend it at all.

They are unethical offering tickets they can not deliver - the price difference you will pay between going directly to the airlines and Flight Network is called insurance. If you are a risk taker and don't mind gambling and losing (and wasting time getting your money back), then by all means give Flight Network a go otherwise just not worth the occasional good deal you will actually get.

Don't bother booking with them, they give you excuses that the transaction declined although there is more than enough money on the card and then charge a higher fair... SCAMS!

This is, by far, the worst online experience I have ever had. I made an error in one of the passengers name and after 6 weeks of emailing back and forth I'm still left with the same problem and my flight is in less than 24 hours! I was told I could pay a fee and the airline would fix the mistake and then that was retracted and I was told I had to pay for another ticket! Stay away from using this company. They can't keep their word!

Won't Honor Cupons
March 14, 2017

Yesterday I purchased a ticket, and it had a coupon offer of 70% off. Too good to be true. I purchased the ticket, I tried to apply the coupon and I received expired notice. I immediately called Flight network, and the agent immediately informed that the coupon was not valid. I printed the screen with the coupon offer, emailed it to the agent. The agent told me he was trying to apply the coupon, but could not. He then told me he was writing a "ticket," to the proper authority, and I would have a reply within 24 hours. Well I am still waiting. My guess: hell will freeze over, before I get a response from flight-network.
I never ever use them again. I will tell everybody I know who travells often to avoid them as the plague.

SCAM. SCAM. SCAM
March 2, 2017

FLIGHT NETWORK - SCAM. SCAM. SCAM. Do not do business with this company as they or their employees have stolen our credit card info and charged unauthorized amounts.

It appears that our credit card was charged twice with unauthorized amounts. When we call them in Toronto, we always spoke to people from India. Why? I don't know. But, they also were supposed to refund us the difference in prices as they later went down. They agreed to the refund, but they never gave t to us.

According to the credit card company, after paying for the ticket charges, we were charged to pay the travel agent and tour operator twice each. We used KAYAK.COM to book our tickets.

Please, stay away from this company.

My first (and last) experience with FlightNetwork was terrible.

The flights I booked experienced a fare increase and I was subsequently told the flights were no longer available unless I wanted to pay $12,000. I was told about "glitches in the system, overbookings by the carrier..." and so on. Alternative flights would cost me $500 more with longer layovers and when I wanted to register a complaint with customer service they tried to deflect to the carrier. At no time did I ever sense any accountability from them. So buyer beware - this services promises the world but it is a misleading and inherently flawed system where the onus is on the customer to make amends if you are one of the "very rare" cases.

Rip Off!
February 9, 2017

After booking a flight through these guys a difference of one hundred and sixty dollars less was available online. When asked about price drop, they replied we only honor the price of flight not the taxes. Told to phone the airline Sunwing, they replied so sad too bad nothing we can do. Really? That's fraud! Plain and simple. Buyer beware.

Deceptive company
January 5, 2017

Wondering if I am the only one or there are many people who used Flightnetwork.com in Canada? I booked a trip for wife and I. Last minute we had an emergency (our issue). My wife had to get an emergency passport from Embassy. The embassy required that we provide a valid flight itinerary. I called flightnetwork.com, explained the passport situation, and booked a flight for $790 change fee. Not a problem he sent me the itinerary and we returned to the embassy and gave them the information. The embassy gave us the emergency passport. Around 6pm flightnetwork.com (Kevin) called back demanding $600 MORE! I told him we booked the flight and had an agreement. He said no we did not and he would cancel the tickets if we did not pay! Since we promised the embassy that we would be traveling on a specific flight and date we had no choice!

I have spent hours on the phone with them and got nowhere! I asked for a manager and they keep transferring me to Kevin (not a manager). I have been promised call backs... never happened. I ask for a manager and no one exists. I wanted to work this out but now we will contest the charges. They are deceptive and will rob you blind!

Bad services
December 19, 2016

It is the worst experience for me. I have an urgent to back my hometown, Bangkok. I bought a ticket at 6PM on Dec 11 from Madrid, Spain. I found it because it's the best deal on JetRadar app. After I bought, I had waited for an e-ticket about an hour but did not get it. So I tried to check-in at Emirate counter by using booking number. But she couldn't find it. I continued with waiting for e-ticket. As the check-in counters will be closed at 7.40PM. Therefore, I decided to buy the new ticket with Emirates Ticketing Counter about 7.20PM. Before going to buy the new one, I asked the check-in counter again but couldn't find it.

Unfortunately, Flight Network sent the e-ticket to me at 7:50PM which the check-in counters had been closed already. And I used a new ticket to check-in completely.

When I arrived at Bangkok, I have called to ask Emirates in Thailand and explained what happened. She told me that I can refund even though my ticket is non-refundable, however your agency, FlightNetwork, have to do for me by sending a claim request to Emirates in Spain for refund. So I have called to beg Flight Network to do that but they do not help me to claim ticket.

If you are buying ticket with FlightNetwork because it is cheaper prices for a few dollars. DON'T BUY. Please book directly with the airline.

Overcharge
November 16, 2016

I purchase an air ticket via flightnetwork recently. The entire transaction was conducted in USD but today I received my credit card bill. FlightNetwork charge the transaction in CND and it is 12 dollar more than I was quoted. In addition, my credit card company also imposed a foreign transaction fee for this transaction.

I will never buy anything from this terrible company again. Never.

I booked my ticket from flight network three months before. I need to get it cancelled due to some issues. Sales representative issued a credit note with Singapore Airline which I can use at later on to book my ticket. I talked with Tejal Deherkar <*******@flightnetwork.com> at that time and She told that i can call at her extension or can send her mail to get booking done.

I called her and their other nos and talked to agents multiple times but they are not responding back even on the mail. I am still waiting for them. I seems they are trying to cheat.

I am very frustrated with their response.

Can some one reply me at *******@gmail.com with approprite answer.

I used FlightNetwork despite the tons of negative feedback I found online. Regret it now but learnt the lesson. This is my story:

- after online purchase, FlightNetwork called me back and asked for second credit card details via phone since first one "did not work".
- charged second card twice the amount (400£ extra!)
- in reply to my complaint they said they needed proof from me that it had actually happened
- since the amount was only blocked on my card but not actually claimed yet, it did not show on bank statement. Sent screen shot of my online balance to prove they had blocked the amount on my card.
- no reply. Had to call agency, airline and bank several times. Could not use my card to withdraw money for 10 days since they blocked basically all the money I had on it
- they asked again for bank statement
- after more than a month now (!) still absolutely no acknowledgment of damage caused and no apologies whatsoever
- had to ask bank to revert the money to my account.
- I was lucky (unlike many others) - I, at least, have my money back.

Will never use FlightNetwork ever again and let my banks know that they have my credit card details. Worried they might accidentally charge things on my card again:(

P.S. In their public reply to a similar review elsewhere they falsely claimed that I had not cooperated and that they had replied to all my mails. They had the guts to ask me to get in touch with them... whereas truth is I'm still waiting for their email response and the acknowledgment of damage done.
