Polite but mediocre
June 15, 2024

Booking was fine but webpage was inconsistent with personal info for multiple passengers ending up in a small mistake that costed $99 to fix (wrong last name on one passenger). Seems bit outrageous really.

Deceptive pricing
June 15, 2024

I was quoted for one price and charged a different one. Apparently they show you one price, but the actual price is hidden in tiny prints.

I was referred to SmartFares by Kayak, and it was easy to order a ticket at a good price, but that price claimed to include include baggage (1 carryon + 1 checked bag), and yet once I could view the reservation from the airline side, the checked bag was *not* included. I have not yet figured out how to resolve this issue, a significant one considering the extra cost involved.

False advertisement

Charged in USD and false price advertising. You should be taken down for illegal business practices.
