Is this my confirmation
January 13, 2023

I am not sure if this is my confirmation but I received an email with the flight itinerary. Does that mean my flight is confirmed?

Needs more development
February 12, 2023

Actually, your website needs a lot of development because lots of thing it's appeared unknown. And when you ask for help customer service ask for money.

My experience was simple and straightforward. I received my confirmation within 24 hours of purchase. I paid for the baggage option and later revisited the site to check the bags I should bring, this info was hard to get.

Fraudulent
February 12, 2023

Airline tickets were quoted in Australian dollars throughout the process, no mention about USD at any point. However charged in USD and lost money.
Very fraudulent practice, thieves.

Low price but online booking is hard to confirm
February 12, 2023
Updated review

Their price is pretty good however I called 3x just to confirm if my reservation online went through. I called the credit card company to make sure that my payment was processed and I called them again for the confirmationz The confirmation was sent after I called their customer service.

Scam "travel" company, avoid.
February 12, 2023

Company happily "confirmed" my trip, sent me a confirmation number, and then 2 weeks later called me at 2am to tell me they hadn't purchased the ticket from the airline, and demanded I pay 2x for the ticket. True scam. On the phone they claimed they hadn't actually billed my credit card either, and it took me showing them proof to actually refund me.

Not worth the marginal savings in ticket cost. You'll pay for it so much more later.
