Great Service
April 4, 2024

Found a good cheap flight for my study abroad, it lagged a little bit but it's a price well worth paying if it saves you a couple hundred dollars.

Website
April 4, 2024

The tickets were at a decent price. My issue was the website as the site had small tendencies of crashing. Which would have made purchasing tickets a little difficult.

Budget Airlines
April 4, 2024

Unfortunately, the cost of the flight is lower than other airlines, but the cost of the carry on and checked bags is higher. I suppose inflation is affecting everyone in one form or another. Otherwise, I would consider this airlines in the future.

Hi, sorry you felt that way. We display baggage info at the search result page as well as the cart page. We follow the airlines' policy regarding baggage allowance and fare types. You would have to pay for your baggage(s) as long as it is this airline, which is a budget airline, and they are a bit more expensive than other airlines regarding baggage fees, unfortunately. We recommend you purchase your baggage online as F9 may charge more at gate. Thanks.

Maybe because I paid for trip protection, but when I had realized my mistake and needed a refund, the people on the phone were very kind helpful and expedient. They clearly explained that I will get a refund, but wont get my money back for a week to 10 days.
