Simple and Extra Benefits
April 20, 2024

My experience was pretty smooth and it's nice how the website gets the confirmation and booking information for me, where the airline(s) email me shortly after with info. Having a student login is important, because it gives you special deals and better access to more opportunities.

Worth it
April 20, 2024

Was skeptical at first, but decided to give it a try. I had no issue, but the timeline I had was set in stone so I did not need the flexibility.

Misleading price information
April 19, 2024

Before I booked, the site said there was no charge for checked bags. After I paid for the reservation, I found out there was a significant charge to add a checked bag AND I had to pay to guarantee seat assignments. This raised the cost of my trip by about $200. I would not have used this site if I had known that.

Hi Sean, your booking comes with two free bags but you added an additional bag which costs a fee. We never inform our customers that seat assisgnment must be paid; it is optional and you can always skip to proceed. Once you have a ticket with an airline, a seat will be guaranteed but unless you pick your seat, it would be randomly assigned by the airline. You would have to pay for your additional baggage per the airline's policy.
