Errores en comunicación.

En mi primera reserva no confirmaron el billete aéreo por un problema con el pago. Y tampoco me avisaron del problema.
Tuve que hacer una segunda reserva, pero el precio del billete aéreo subió.
Gracias.

Dear Customer,

Greetings from SmartFares!

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the payment issue and the lack of timely communication regarding your initial reservation. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially with the subsequent price increase.
Please note that airline fares are dynamic and can fluctuate frequently based on availability and demand, which is why the price changed when you made the second booking.
If there is anything further we can assist you with, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your understanding.

Scammers
July 8, 2025

This company is running a scam. They offer tickets at incredibly low prices and then send you an email with a reference number. But they aren't actually giving you a ticket even though they collect the money. Then they send an email saying there is an issue with your flight and to contact them. When speaking with then they say the price has been changed and you need to pay an additional amount in order to keep your ticket, or they say the flight has been sold out and you will need to pay more for a ticket on a different day. But you only have 24 hours to respond to them or change your ticket so if you purchase a ticket believing you have obtained a seat on a flight because you've paid for it they will say you need to pay more. If you try to cancel after the 24 hour period I'm sure they charge some kind of a fee and that's where the scam is. They don't have tickets available at the price they're listing and once you've purchased a ticket they will try and get more money from you after you've paid for a ticket they don't have.

La tragedia

Rindan ofertas no existentes donde se vuelven una incertidumbre el viaje sin empezar adicional cobran de más y no vale los derechos del consumidor.Abusan de los inconvenientes personales no aplican ley de retracto y antes buscan hacer sentir que le hacen un favor a uno al reconocerle algo del boleto al cancelar cuando no es asi.

Hello! I just have a question. I tried to book a ticket from SmartFares but it didn't work because I have a problem with the bank. I don't want it anymore. I want to cancel it. I wasn't even able to pay the amount so someone bought it for me.

I had an incredibly frustrating and unacceptable experience. My original booking was cancelled without any prior notice or confirmation, and I was automatically rebooked on a completely different date that didn't suit me at all. At no point was I consulted or given the opportunity to approve the change. When I contacted customer service to request a refund for the service I never agreed to, I was met with dismissive responses and a flat-out refusal to issue a refund. This is not only unprofessional but completely disrespectful to paying customers. The lack of communication, disregard for consent, and refusal to take responsibility for the mistake is beyond disappointing. I expected far better. I will not be using this service again and strongly advise others to be cautious – you may end up paying for something you didn't book and won't be able to get your money back.
