Had a terrible experience with TAP Portugal, as a United Premier 1K (star alliance Gold) I was happy to take on their advise to extend a layover in Portugal from London England to Montreal, we had booked our tickets a while back but 5 days before our flight I called their customer service to ask if we could be moved to an Earlier flight from London to Lisbon to have a few more hours in their country, the lady was kind and made the change, never said anything about fees. Following day I had to call back to get the new confirmed itineraries that never arrived by email, spent almost 2 hours on the phone, upon a call back check they confirmed that the agent had made a mistake by not warning me of a penalty and I still had to pay now if I wanted to use my tickets with them, they were charging me $2800 USD. The man who called himself Josh was helpless and would only raise his voice to corner me into making a decision. I finally gave up and hung up as I refused to pay TAP anymore money. I found a one way ticket out of London to Montreal for $1200 for all three of us (my wife and daughter) I still think I was lucky to find such a good deal less than 4 days prior to traveling. TAP stole us, insulted us.
Everything went well no problem…wishing and hoping to have it cheaper
Easy to book. I said "no" to all the optional services. Got my confirmation of the booking just hours after I had paid.
Charged for seat assignments without warning and didn't receive seats. This should be illegal, since I did not ask for seats and there was no indication that I would be charged $120 for seat assignments. I am traveling for cancer treatment (stage IV) and I can't afford any trick or surprise charges or bills from anywhere.
Was charged more then I should have been.
Even by making sure I remove all the extra possible charges, I was still charged an extra $50
It's very good experience for me and its good service to be once with you not Good experience for me
Very good. Easy to do to book the tickets. No hidden charges.
They tracked & I successfully secured a better airline fare, than any other site.
Totally recommend
I found definitely the best price and the best service.

Thank you
SmartFares was a fairly easy website to use but sometimes it would go out and a different price would come up. Because I was having trouble booking for seven people I called a number at the top of the page and got a hold of someone from a travel company that wasn't SmartFares. He proceeded to pressure me to pay $75 dollars more per ticket than what was shown on the SmartFares website. Telling me that that was to best price possible because the seats were getting sold out already for November. I declined and very happy to save the $75x7.
Très satisfaite du service et de la rapidité du traitement. J'ai eu un souci avec mes informations et tout a été réglé facilement et rapidement.
A really great experience. And the service is very good. I hope with the coming time that the service will remain good and I hope to get discounts with you. Because I always book through your site and thank you very much.
Cheaper than others and quick. I am satisfy. Everything was okay. I didn't have problems at all. The emails were accurate.
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.
