Best deal, slightly shady practice
April 29, 2026

Best deal I could find for the trip and super easy to book, but last minute they tried to add a travel protection over over 130+ to my ticket. Had to scroll all the way up to see it was added after I entered our info. So just be aware of that before hitting the booked button

Smooth Process
April 28, 2026

Had zero issues buying my tickets through this service. First time using it and would use it again. 3 different flights from South East Asia to the USA. Only thing I'd suggest for easier process would be being able to pick seats directly through SmartFares instead of having to go through the airline. Other than that, perfect.

Flight Change
April 28, 2026

When I called to change the flight to the next day. The agent tried to charge me an additional 70.00 but on line was charging the same price as my ticket. I was not happy about that.

Fast process and all legit
April 27, 2026

The price for same flight it was more expensive with the airline. Not sure how SmartFares gets a better price. Once I booked, I went to the airline portal and I was able to see my ticket with the reservation number given by SmartFares.

Very easy to use but has some hidden fees
April 27, 2026
Updated review

I requested my booking to be paid in EUR but for some reason it was calculated in USD and then recalculated later back to EUR which resulted in bigger tickets price.
It is great that all booking questions and requested data are presnted at single booking page so booking process is much simpler.

Legit
April 26, 2026

At first I was skeptical about this site due to the price being lower than all the other sites. But decided to give it a try and then confirm the tickets from the actual airline. So definitely will be using this site more often for now on.

Dissatisfaction with the price
April 25, 2026

I didn't have such a good experience, since I had an inconvenience with the payment method and while I solved it they raised the price of the ticket 150 dollars, but for having the need to keep the itinerary I had to accept it.
