After finding out I was charged 2 times I asked for a refund. I was told yes you would get a refund of the money but it would take 7 to 14 days. I was not happy about the time it took, so I expressed my dissatisfaction of this. I was told if I argue with the person I was talking to then he will make sure it would take anything up to 1 year. I put the phone down and dis continued the conversation. My bank has taken up the situation now with yourselves.
Takes to long to book, the ticket price changed
Have to pay in US Dollars, price turned out dearer than Rex who is a good company you can not ring if you have a problem unless you have international dialing most of us don't. You don't know what the US $ exchange rate is until you get your statement yes they are cheap but just beware. I will deal with Rex direct next time.

Prácticas comerciales desleales: cobrar tarifas de cancelación por un reembolso completo que la aerolínea acredita Este sitio web es una ESTAFA abslouta, no reserven con ellos Estafadores tengan cuidado
¡Nunca jamás haga negocios con esta agencia! Son mentirosos y roban y se aprovechan de las situación desesperada de los clientes
Manténgase alejado de este sitio web! En el sitio, dice que no hay cargo por cancelación antes de las 24 horas justo en la parte superior de la página que puede "Revisar y reservar con confianza: ¡puede cancelar de forma gratuita dentro de las próximas 24 horas!".
Cuando llamé, fueron muy groseros y me colgaron. Cuando pedí cancelación (a los 30 minutos después de comprar el boleto) dentro de las 24 horas, me preguntó (Luis de servicio al cliente, quizás nombre falso creo que los Indios no tiene nombres Hispano) por qué quería cancelar el vuelo? ……. "le dije por razones de salud y me dijo que tendría que pagarles $200 por la cancelacion. Cuando se les pidió que proporcionaran los términos de estas condiciones, no pudieron encontrarlo, pero dijeron que el precio que pague por seguro de cancelación ($59.96) era por si la compañía cancelaba el vuelo, bien ridículo como voy a pagar el vuelo que cancele la compañía, supongo que la compañía tiene que pagarme a mi... ¡Increíble
Son un grupo de agentes del servicio de al cliente de la India no profesionales y súper groseros," y estafadores profesionales. Suena como un completo fraude y no confío en esta empresa. Tratan de cómo tomar el dinero de los clientes a como de lugar. Disputen a travez de su banco o Tarjeta de Credito y el Best Bussiness Buro (BBB)

Never ever do business with this agency! They are liars and they steal and they take advantage of the desperate situation of the clients
Stay away from this website! On the site it says there is no charge for cancellation before 24 hours right at the top of the page which you can "Review and book with confidence - you can cancel for free within the next 24 hours!".
When I called they were very rude and hung up on me. When I asked for cancellation (within 30 minutes of buying the ticket) within 24 hours, he asked me (Luis from customer service, maybe a fake name I think Indians don't have Hispanic names) why did I want to cancel the flight? ……. "I told him for health reasons and he told me that I would have to pay them $200 for the cancellation. When asked to provide the terms of these conditions, they couldn't find it, but they said that the price I paid for cancellation insurance ($59.96) was in case the company canceled the flight, so ridiculous how am I going to pay for the flight that cancels the flight? Company, I guess the company has to pay me... Incredible!
They are a bunch of unprofessional and super rude customer service agents from India," and professional scammers. Sounds like a complete fraud and I don't trust this company. They deal with how to take money from customers at any cost. Dispute through your bank or Credit Card and the Best Business Bureau (BBB)

इस एजेंसी के साथ कभी भी व्यापार न करें! वे झूठे हैं और वे चोरी करते हैं और वे ग्राहकों की निराशाजनक स्थिति का लाभ उठाते हैं
इस वेबसाइट से दूर रहें! साइट पर यह कहता है कि पृष्ठ के शीर्ष पर 24 घंटे से पहले रद्द करने के लिए कोई शुल्क नहीं है जिसे आप "समीक्षा और विश्वास के साथ बुक कर सकते हैं - आप अगले 24 घंटों के भीतर मुफ्त में रद्द कर सकते हैं!"।
जब मैंने फोन किया तो वे बहुत रूखे थे और मुझे फोन कर दिया। जब मैंने 24 घंटे के भीतर (टिकट खरीदने के 30 मिनट के भीतर) रद्द करने के लिए कहा, तो उसने मुझसे पूछा (ग्राहक सेवा से लुइस, शायद एक नकली नाम जो मुझे लगता है कि भारतीयों के पास हिस्पैनिक नाम नहीं हैं) मैं उड़ान क्यों रद्द करना चाहता था? ……. "मैंने उसे स्वास्थ्य कारणों से बताया और उसने मुझसे कहा कि मुझे रद्द करने के लिए उन्हें $ 200 का भुगतान करना होगा। जब इन शर्तों की शर्तें प्रदान करने के लिए कहा गया, तो वे इसे नहीं ढूंढ पाए, लेकिन उन्होंने कहा कि रद्दीकरण बीमा ($ 59.96) के लिए मैंने जो कीमत चुकाई थी, अगर कंपनी ने उड़ान रद्द कर दी थी, तो यह हास्यास्पद है कि मैं इसके लिए भुगतान कैसे करूंगा उड़ान जो उड़ान रद्द करती है? कंपनी, मुझे लगता है कि कंपनी को मुझे भुगतान करना होगा... अविश्वसनीय!
वे भारत के गैर-पेशेवर और अत्यधिक असभ्य ग्राहक सेवा एजेंटों का एक समूह हैं, और पेशेवर स्कैमर हैं। एक पूर्ण धोखाधड़ी की तरह लगता है और मुझे इस कंपनी पर भरोसा नहीं है। वे इस बात से निपटते हैं कि ग्राहकों से किसी भी कीमत पर पैसा कैसे लिया जाए। अपने बैंक या क्रेडिट कार्ड और बेस्ट बिजनेस ब्यूरो (बीबीबी) के माध्यम से विवाद
I Buy a ticket AND It wasnt booked, AND they didnt gave me all my money back. A FRAUD dont ever Buy anything in there
Super if you dont delay our flight! First time booking through another platform.
Great prices! Much quicker than on official airlines sites that made me doubt this website. But I got the confirmation and ticket pretty fast so happy about saving some money with them
Fast response easy booking great customer help. I had an error on the ticket but adding the seat selection and didn't realize the price was not shown till end. Ask to refund it back and was thankful they did with good customer satisfaction
Charged me for a seat number, when there was no price showing for it
Everything was easy for me... I find best prices in Smartfares web site
This is my second booking in the last two days. I find this site very reliable and easy to deal with.
I am appalled at the abysmal service. Please get your act together.
Excellent satisfied with the service, fast way of booking
Text drops down and up very fast, as a result some positions were misbooked
POR FAVOR ENVIARME LA INFORMACION D EMI VUELO DIRECTO CON LA AEROLINEA AVIANCA SOLO ME MUESTRAN UNA RESERVA EN SU PAGINA PERO EN LA AEROLINEA NO ME APARECE NADA SOBRE MI VUELO
Booked ticket and got confirmations on time also got agent call confirmations.
Perfect I like it, easy and quickly, nice and cheaper not very expensive...
It was ok I had a good experience but I'm waiting on my ticket number to be fully confirmed
It was easy only too many offers. I was charged for a seat without knowing until saw on payment page. I paid it and hope this means I am guaranteed a window seat. I have not heard very good things about Spirit Airlines customer service.
I'm ok with the results. Don't know if I would buy my ticket here again; still not sure. Well to me has too many fees one a lot of things I haven't seen before but I guess that's what they offer(ing).
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.
