Overall good, but seat selection wasn't possible
July 21, 2024
Updated review

Would be good to have baggage fees, if any, indicated more clearly (there is a link, but it's unclear whether it's a popup or leading to a new page, so that I lose the data I have entered already -- it has happened, believe me!). Also, while I paid for seat selection there was no option to choose seats.

Seleccioné la compra por esta plataforma porque salía más económico que con otras opciones. Para el proceso de pago hay muchas opciones que toca seleccionar o no como la compra de silla, seguro y otros, un poco engorroso, pero nada que no permita avanzar. Pese a que me salió más económico, lo único que no me gustó es que al final el precio en pesos fue superior a lo indicado cuando di aceptar a la compra, me parece deshonesto, pues fueron alrededor de $120.000 COP adicionales, que sí bien es cierto seguía saliendo un poco por debajo de las demás opciones, no me parece transparente con el usuario que no indiquen el valor real que te van a cobrar, pues la compra aparece en dólares en el soporte de pago.

Not sending notifications of flight being cancelled.
July 15, 2024
Updated review

I was moments away from boarding my flight when I realized that my boarding ticket has been canceled. Had to pay double Uber fares due to your mistake of not notifying me in time. And try to upcharge me for the same flight. Almost 3 times the amount I originally paid for the first time.

I won't be using these services anymore due to these inconvenience and I advise no one dose.

And ill be doing my best to report this to the BBB

$225 for a Change of name!
July 14, 2024

I buy the ticket and for 1 letter mistake had to pay $225.00
I think this is totally an abuse, ticket around $300 and 1 letter mistake pays almost a ticket price, I would never buy again in this page.
