If only I can give them zero stars! Fraud, Scam,Cheaters,Robbers! I got a notification from the airline that our connecting flight was changed to an earlier time (From 11:30am to 6:20am). Which means we would be unable to board the flight because our arrival time from the last flight is 6:50am. I called SmartFares to get our flight fixed. They made me pay $360 for the rebooking even if it was clearly the Airline's fault. They kept insisting that we are only paying for the price difference of the new flight which doesn't make sense at all. They made it appear that I have no other choice or else I will miss my flight! So they charged me $360 to get my flight changed to a different time. I later found out that the airline allowed the change of flight without any fee because it was an operational issue. In fact the airline was willing to refund us the ticket if the flight wouldn't work for us. This only means that Smartfares charged me for something that should have been free. They STOLE my money and definitely CHEATED. I am so frustrated because they wouldn't refund me my money. Their business should be closed!
Update: I filed a complaint thru BBB. Fortunately, SmartFares responded quickly and positively by refunding the $360 charge...Now I will just have to wait & see. Good luck everyone. Hope you'll have a better experience.
The website was great to use, and there were no added fees tacked on from the time I searched the flight to the booking. However, on the confirmation page you are asked about many add-ons that are usually clicked into the default "accept" position, meaning that a few people who aren't careful about the fine print will skip ahead and have unwanted extra charges. Otherwise I am satisfied with the service.
Yes i was happy with the booking thank you! Easy to book and i will recommend smartfares
All good! I talked with your customer service support and they were very helpful
My experience was good. It's was easy to buy my ticket. And the ticket value very convenient. Thank you very much for help us in thise times of financial scarcity
Got my itinerary. Thank you guys. Excited to go to Israel. Thanks.
I had to buy and urgent ticket and i bought it from smartfares and it didnt send me a confirmation for the next 48 hours! I would never buy from smartfare again
After purchasing the ticket they changed the price to a higher price which was very disappointing.
I Needed to book a flight as soon as possible. A coworker recommended this site and I was able to find a cheaper flight compared to specific airline websites.
They should let us know before booking the ticket that we have the chance to not get the ticket and we will have to look for another flight.
It was my first transaction from this website, the tickets were reasonable i was apprehensive at first however I received a good discount. Ticket booking is so easy. Highly recommended.
La compra fue bastante práctica y rapida...
Оформил бронь,жду билеты,очень переживаю,чтобы было всё хорошо
Excellent customer care support. Reliable and Budget friendly options offered while choosing the flight. Wrapped up transaction within 2 days through email.will endeavor our future trips too.
I purchased the ticket showing in the website in CAD, but the receipt sent to me says the ticket price in USD. So I will end up paying more than the price I decided to purchase. That was disappointing.
Great experience! Fast booking and quick responses.
Answer: Smartfares! They will offer a deeply discounted airfare and send you a confirmation number to your email. The next day you will receive an email to call them immediately because they were unable to confirm your flight. When you call them back, they will try to sell you another flight at a much higher price. SCAM SCAM AVOID!
Answer: I could no agree more. They are also very rude. Did not received my confirmation until a day before departure and I had to call them to get it. When I asked how to check in as they booked me with 2 different airlines they responded can you read?

Answer: Yes. They stated because of flight increase they canceled my flights. Then they wanted me to pay a balance of what the new increase was. So disappointing. I paid for four fares. They took the funds from the bank n then canceled my flights.
