I made a reservation for a flight through this site. The day before my flight, I was checking on it and realized that the ticket was never actually issued by the airline. When I contacted customer service, the agent just canceled my reservation without my authorization and without trying to do anything to resolve the situation so a ticket can be issued. It was done completely unceremoniously, showing no regard at all for my travel plans or even basic courtesy. I was left without a ticket the day before I was supposed to travel! I've never had such an awful experience with a website like this. Stay away from this site!

It took longer to receive(more than 72 hours) the confirmation than I expected which made me have to call, and it took me 1.5hrs to reach the agent finally.

Price seems low at first, but then there are many different additional charges you
need to go through in small print and accept or decline.

Excellent service
January 16, 2023

I booked 9 tickets for group at Melbourne airport about 2 hours before flight. Virgin Australia front desk told me that confirmation may take 24 hours which was very upsetting. I talked with smartfate customer service representative on phone. He got it done in minutes and was very professional and reassuring. I forgot his name but will always remember his promptness and empathy

Frustrated with customer service.
February 15, 2023

I received different information from 3 different sources about how to choose my seats. The first person on the phone told me I could call back after receiving my booking confirmation to choose seats. The second person told me he couldn't help me do that and I had to email customer service. He was very curt and seemed like he just wanted to end the call quickly. I had to verify the email address from what I saw on the confirmation before he quickly hung up on me. I sent my first email which the agent said I should use to, *******@travelerhelpdesk.com. Then, since I wasn't feeling confident, I started a chat with an online agent who gave me a second email address so I could choose my seats which I paid for. I sent that email to *******@travelerhelpdesk.com. I have still not received any information about choosing my seats.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
January 16, 2023

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
