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.

Unnecessary Changes
July 13, 2024

I received multiple phone calls from customer service insisting I agree to change my arriving flight info. They stated "they were unable to confirm the flight for the purchase price" after I had already been charged and received a confirmation email. I later received a secondary phone call asking me to change my departing flight which I refused and they changed my flight anyway. The representative on the phone was insistent and provided me with no alternatives to the situation. Although the dates and times were not changed it was a shady business practice to sell flight tickets for flights they cannot provide. I later received a 3rd phone call asking me to purchase flight insurance after I had declined. I declined 2 more times on the phone with that representative as well. It was incredibly unprofessional.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with your flight booking and the additional cost involved. Our aim is always to provide a seamless and fair experience for all our customers.

Please note that the fares displayed online are in real-time and subject to change, as airline prices are dynamic. These fares depend on seat availability and may fluctuate. As a travel agency, we do not control the airline's inventory. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to secure the ticket at the initially advertised fare.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

Regards,
Team Smartfares
