Would Use Again
November 6, 2024

I was a bit skeptical because it had no ratings but it was good, the confirmation email did take a little time to be email but got the confirmation and a email following up about my confirmation. Would use again

Overcharge in the tariff
October 31, 2024

They charged an extra 35 Euros over the advertised price (right on the purchase execution page).
After finishing, I simulated the purchase again with the same initial erroneous result.
After I protested, the company claimed that it was due to currency exchange rate variations, but the USD/EUR exchange rate had not changed by 5% during the transaction.
In short, they are using a sneaky trick to earn extra money.

My booking experience
October 29, 2024

After filling up all all the my details, it was just one click and the booking went through. Within few minutes they and the first email to say they seen my booking and they will send the second email as as soon as the transaction gets to them. In 5 time I received the 2nd email confirmation my booking.
I can't wait to travel.

It is a major problem that the credit card is not verified immediately and that the amount is not debited off the credit card account immediately. This aspect of putting a small amount through and then requesting a confirmation of a screenshot is extremely suspicious and dangerous.

Your website indicated that a particular flight ticket I purchased included 1st Checked Bag. After making payment and received the itinerary, I realized that the information was inaccurate. I called your customer care and had to seek cancellation of the purchase and lost $200 dollars for refund.

That's highly unacceptable and your representative was not professional in their interaction with me neither.
