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!
Fast and easy. The process is simple and I got the confirmation email within minutes.
I tried to email customer services about the status of my tickets but no responses as well as my ticket got cancel without notification
Easy and quick but I didn't understand why before payment the ticket was R8500 but after I clicked the price change
Very bad because I can't book cheap flights ticket in the website
Sin inconvenientes-fue ágil y rápida.
Ahora esperar el día del viaje, para saber si estuvo realmente todo ok.
I could not understand how I could book a flight ticket for an advertised price by your company, the money immediately went out of my account. Just to find out that I have to pay an extra 100$ to finalize my booking.
No issues with the booking process. Ticket received in time
Their offer was the cheapest so it won over the others, I placed the order yet no confirmation came from the airline. After inquiring I learned that they showed outdated fares so SmartFares said our offer wasn't real now you have to pay more. A Scam!
Not pleased. In the middle of booking your site timed me out. After I logged back in the rate had gone up and your agent said I had to hurry up and book or it would go up further. I would like my $106 refunded, but I bet you won't do the right thing and right the wrong.
I had a smooth experience using this flight booking service. The website was easy to navigate, prices were clear, and the booking process was quick. I received my confirmation and e-ticket immediately. Overall, it was convenient and hassle-free.
SO FAR SO GOOD. WE, IN THE GROUP, ARE PLANNING SEVERAL TRIPS AND HOPE TO BECOME FRECUENT FLYERS WITH SMART FARES.
A Sido muy fácil la compra de mis boletos solo que no encontré dónde poder incluir mi equipaje para pagarlo en mi compra, no sé si me brinqué algún paso espero me puedan ayudar con eso... Gracias

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.
