I had purchased a British Airways roundtrip ticket from them from Toronto to Lagos, and had flown the outbound sector, I was going to change the date for the inbound sector, but having read the bad reviews on them I decided to call the airline first to have an idea if there was availability on my booking class to pre-empt the lies they would tell me about the need to pay a fare difference, and it was confirmed by BA that there was availability, but the airline couldn't make the change because it was a commercial ticket issued by the agent. And true to my expectation, my fears were confirmed, I called Bookairfare to make the date change. They were going to charge me $300 for the date change penalty and requested for additional $500 plus for a fare difference which is not required if ticket has been partly flown and there is availability of same booking class which had already been confirmed to be available by BA, more so my flight date is an off-peak period. As an experienced and certified Travel agent I understood immediately that I was about to be ripped-off. A date change on any BA ticket would normally cost a maximum of $225 CDN and the Travel agent is allowed to charge for service. I declined the offer to be ripped-off by Bookairfare. I will never buy a ticket from them no matter how cheap it may be as they will in turn rip you off if at any time you need to make a change. I am sure a lot of people have unknowingly been ripped-off by Bookairfare in this manner.

TERRIBLE!
March 17, 2016

I need to change 2 airplane tickets that I bought with BookAirFare but NOBODY picks up the phone nor answering the emails. And the live chat does not exist.

This is terrible because we need to change our return date RIGHT NOW... my grandma is dying and we need to go back to the USA right now!

Here is my information:

Flight e-ticket - Trip ID: *******
E-Ticket numbers: ************** and **************
PNR number: 77OP9A

My name is Pablo and you have the email that I used to register and buy the ticket. I won't post the email here because I don't want to get spammed. Please send me an email ASAP.
