Customer service
January 23, 2025

My experience sucked they kept declining my card and when trying to talk someone I was on hold and kept going back and forth, someone even hung up on me and they just want to charge you more and more do not use them for anything. It was exhausting I just ended up paying a few dollars more and booking through the airline.

Overall, the booking experience was easy. I find all the additional extras that you can add to the cost unnecessary.

I booked a flight for March and they didn't complete my transaction because the price of the flight changed and they didn't notify me. When I called and asked about it they asked for an extra $300 to book the reservation.

From Kayak web site it sent me to yours. I purchased tickets at the price that was on the web site. I then received an email from you that my credit card did not go through and gave me a number to call. After talking to your representative he raised the price. Not very ethical. I went through to another website and got the price that you first offered me.

Nervous but excited
January 20, 2025

This was the cheapest deal I could find for business class. My flight is only in a few months, so I was a bit sceptical at first. But I phoned the airline and they confirmed all is in order.
