Was a terrible experience
August 27, 2025

Tried for three days to book tickets from Lusaka Zambia to Ndola Zambia. Was told booking was made and then get email saying that there had been a price increase and asking if I wanted to go ahead and pay price increase to purchase tickets. I said I would pass, but tickets were still issued without my knowledge and when I realized it we had already made another booking, but money for prior tickets was not refunded.

Very bad experience with smart fares
August 26, 2025

I am dissatisfied regarding the overcharge on my recent flight booking. After completing my booking and payment, I received a call from your company representative requesting additional charges And USD 80 deducted from my account, increasing the total amount paid to AED 14,260. However, the official price displayed on the Emirates website at the time of booking was AED 14,160, and no added services or benefits were provided to justify this difference. I am not satisfied with this treatment and requested a refund of the USD 80 overcharged And I reported the same but nobody review or support.

Pésima Experiencia
August 25, 2025

La peor experiencia de compra, realmente me sentí vulnerada en mis derechos como consumidor. Primero me obligaron a pagar impuestos que nunca entendí, luego me tuvieron que cambiar la fecha un día y me cobraron 750 dólares mas. Me indicaron que el nuevo vuelo venia con todos los equipajes incluidos y con reservación de asientos, lo cual fue un engaño ya que no es así. Para poder comunicarme por teléfono debo estar mínimo 45 minutos en la linea en espera, sin recibir ninguna solucion. Totalmente decepcionada!

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your feedback.

Please note that to complete any booking, we also require a verification process to be completed. This is a crucial step we follow to help prevent any fraudulent activities and to ensure the safety and security of all our valued customers.

Unfortunately, in your case, we were unable to complete the verification, and as a result, the booking was cancelled. A notification regarding this was sent to the registered email address at the time of cancellation.

We understand this may have caused inconvenience, and we truly apologize for any frustration it may have caused. If you have any further questions or require assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team - we’ll be more than happy to help.

Regards,
Team Smartfares
