When I canceled my tickets they didn't refund the relevant amount of money. ($740 is stolen from me)
I bought my tickets and they sent me confirmation email. But after 24 hours they sent me this "We would like to let you know that your reservation didn't go through due to the change in fare from airlines as fares are dynamic in nature."
I MAKE MY DECISION TO BUY ON YOUR PAGE FOR THER PRICE, ONLY FOR THE PRICE. THAT´S YOUR VALUE OFFER. HOWEVER, THE NEXT DAY I CALLED TO ASK FOR THE E-MAIL CONFIRMING THE INTINERARY AND THE TICKETS BUT THE UNEXPECTED ASNWER WAS THAT I HAD TO PAY AN EXTRA COST OF USD150.00. NEVER AGAIN
Very bad customer service. I made an initial reservation which had some problems, and customer service via chat seemed to be buying time so that the booking would be charged before my problem was solved, resulting then in more money to solve it. They even initially misinformed me about their 24 hr free cancellation policy. I tried cancellation by phone and they hung up on me twice. Site is ok.
Esta compañía solo roba ala gente is the worst company to get flights tickets they charge to my card $856 and now they asking me to pay $200 more because they say is a mistake on the system that all bul$$$
Es algo ridiculo
Your website is easy to use, and you offer the lowest flight prices.
My last trip was cancelled as the flight was not available or it caused huge problems!
Same thing happened this week! Flight not confirmed and I think that this is not a real travel website! It is very concerning! When you call it is always a different agent and they can never help all they want is for you to book a flight with a far more expensive fare. Disgraceful to have plans cancelled twice within the last 2 months!
My last trip was cancelled as the flight was not available or it caused huge problems!
Their website said you can get a refund for free within 24 hours, then suddenly they were like "oh there's a fee for that". Then they refused to send me any email confirmation of the cancellation. Also they charged me in USD though it was showing i was being charged in CAD, even though the original airline was charging in CAD.
Not worth dealing with them. They had to be negotiated with every step of the way.
Thieves is the only term that applies to them!
Sell you tickets, charge credit card, and later call you back asking for more money.
Don't trust their contact center! All trained to keep you on the loop.
Never more in my life!
Be very careful with this crap page, today they wanted to scam me and they still haven't returned my money! They made me pay for a ticket that was worth $204, then (5 minutes later) they told me it had gone up, to $298.12 and when I paid the $298.12 amount they told me I had to pay an EXTRA $265 if I wanted my ticket. THEY ARE SCAMMERS, they want to rob people, THEY HAVE NOT YET GIVEN MY MONEY BACK
They are scammers! Do not buy on this page! I bought a Lima-Miami-Lima ticket and when I went to the airport I was surprised that this flight did not exist, moreover, it never existed! When I contacted them, they denied their guilt and never returned my money, much less gave me another ticket in exchange. I am looking to be able to sue them for fraud. DO NOT BE FOOLED! DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM THESE CRIMINALS SCAMERS!
Excellent travel agency
This is my second time that I used this agency
They are very professional
Thank you
Definitely better than hopper. Found me the cheapest price and did it quick for this last minute trip.
Absolutely perfect! It has been a very good experience to book
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.
