You asked so i tell
September 2, 2025

Tried your ai chat which gave me inaccurate info, and wantezmd to charge an extra 50 dollars to change my name on reservation. Human agent told me my concern about including my middle name on reservation was not necessary. Note: i payed an extra fee on ticket to allow me to bring on plane a carry-on bag, but I see nothing about this in confirmation email, which i just found in spam folder.

Not to trust
August 29, 2025

I booked a ticket at a certain price, and they got back to me saying that the fare wasn't available anymore and wanted me to pay 25% more. The customer service lady was very friendly and kind; however, the whole process was not to be trusted.

SmartFares attempted to help this customer through the SmartCustomer Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond
