Quick and easy but watch out for hidden fees
December 12, 2023
Updated review

Quick and easy throughout the process. When the selection listed give airline a seat preference for window or isle, there was no listing of a price associated (other choices had fees visible). At checkout there was no final price given before confirmation. After finalizing the purchase, then I saw a $90 fee for requesting a window seat without any actual seat assignment. Thankfully I called and was able to be assured they would refund that $90 within 48 hours.

Bad customer service
December 16, 2023
Updated review

I didn't want seat selection but it charged me an extra $120 to select seats.Then when I checked out it never told me the total so I assumed it was only the original fare amount. After I noticed it changed me $120 extra on my receipt I called them right away and told them I didn't want to pick my seat and they told me that it was a non refundable selection. I told the rep that I never selected it and even if I can't get my money back I never was able to select any seats so why should I be charged. He said he was going to get his boss and told me he would call me back and I never heard from him again.
