Agents too quick to raise ticket price
September 17, 2025

Suposedly to protect against fraud, Bank of America, which I was not aware of, declined my tickets charge. They emailed asking charge confirmation and when I called agent Ana, who was abrasive, refused to keep my options, which made more expensive. I liked initial KLM and Air France but she got rid of them. I find it hard to believe they go away that quickly with 250 seats airplanes. In addition the flight from Atlanta to WPB was awfully tight and service sucked. I am sure I am not the only passenger whose ccard co. Does that. All this made my trip longer and umpleasant.

Dear Customer,

We're sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

Upon reviewing our records, we found that the booking in question could not be confirmed due to a credit card decline. A notification was promptly sent to your registered email address on the same day the booking was attempted, informing you of the issue. We also reached out by phone to explain the situation, and, following your request, a follow-up email was sent with further details.

The booking was subsequently cancelled as per your instructions.

If there is any additional concern or discrepancy that hasn't been addressed here, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We're more than happy to assist and provide any clarification you may need.

Regards,

Worst service ever
September 16, 2025

I don't know where to start. I have talked to people from this app like 10 times. It has been always the same, rude people, trained as they should the costumer stupid, they dont let people talk. The interrupt and raise their voice. They play with you and the options they want to give you just because. They hang up the phone on you and then if they are not please they are even more rude. Please avoid buying anything with SMARTFARES. I couple of friends told me exactly the same and I was next to another person dealing with the same situation and was the same. Disrespectful and frustrating.
