It offered a trip using Aer Lingus airline and I've tried to double check, this air line didn't have any flights on the days this website quoted. You will lose your money and may be more (credit card info)

On November 13,2024 I have purchased a plane fare online thru Book My Air Travel. I got immediate confirmation via email that my booking was successfully completed. It listed the flight itinerary with flight price details: Total charged $503.26. Afterwards I got a phone call from the travel agency stating that my flight doesn't include any check-in luggage or guaranteed seat assignments. He said in order to include these services I have to upgrade and pay over $1,200. I said NO. I told him to just cancel my reservation he said it's already booked and it's a basic economy fare it can't be cancelled. We went back and forth for 45 minutes. I ended up talking to Samuel a manager. He charged me $975.01 which is an upgrade to include check in baggage and seat assignments (aisle seat). 3 weeks ago I called ANA and was advised that I paid $825.01 for basic economy which doesn't include guaranteed seat assignment. I told ANA I paid $975.01 but ANA said no the fare paid is $825.01. I tried contacting them but was on hold for over 30 minutes. I also sent them an email but they never replied. Finally I called my credit card company to inquire and was told there are 2 charges $825.01 for ANA and $150 for a third party called Fair Swing. I have since disputed the $150. This company is shady and should be investigated for unprofessional business practices that includes scamming customers for more money than what the airline is legitimately charging. I have also filed a case with the BBB ( Better Business Bureau) and was assigned an ID Case number. Today the BBB sent me an email stating that they have forwarded my complaint to Book My Air Travel and so far have not heard back from the agency. I'm sharing this experience so that other travelers looking for competitive air travel should avoid this travel agency.

Bait and switch scam
September 4, 2024

This company operates as a bait and switch. They advertise a low fare and then once you book that fare, an agent calls a couple days later stating that the airline will charge you 1-2k at check in. The also said I would be subject to "standby" booking 2 months in advance. My kids 6 and 8 would be sitting by themselves. Etc etc...

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!
September 9, 2024

I selected luggage when placing my reservation, for $0.01 less this company offered a ticket on frontier. When I purchased the ticket there was a message saying a rep would call to complete the booking( a little weird). The rep told me luggage was included for an additional cost of $70.00 each way. When I went to the airport I was informed that I did not have luggage included. I ended up paying an additional $362.00

For what I paid ( my total was $641.00) I could have bought a Delta ticket and avoid all this drama. I called the company and he lied and said the rep told me I had the option to pay for my bags at the airport. My question was, what was the additional $140.00 for he couldn't answer. After checking the reviews the BBB do not recommend using this company.

One last thing ALWAYS book directly through the airline.

Don't use it
April 20, 2024

This site is a scam. Don't use it. I purchased my ticket for $ 344, as advertised. Then, a couple of days later, they called me saying the the price was not that anymore and now I had to pay U$ 600. As I could not cancel the purchase, I had to pay the amount they wanted to charge me. By the end of the day I paid much more than the real price from other companies

SCAM
July 3, 2024

If I could give it zero stars, I would give it to him. This company is a scam. I bought a ticket for my brother, they sent me the confirmation and that they would call me in 24 hours, they didn't, and we called. They told us that the airline did not accept that ticket and that they had to pay $414 more to improve it, we told them that we did not accept that, that we paid the price they had on the internet, in the end they told us that they were not going to refund or give us credit for that. They are definitely a scam. Don't buy a ticket with them.

Total Scammers
June 2, 2024

Don't believe any positive review about them, it's all a lie, it's probably them posting those reviews. These people deserve zero stars for their abysmal customer service. They engage in a practice called "bait and switch," advertising false airfares. When you book, you receive an email saying your booking is confirmed, but within hours, you get a call claiming the fare has many restrictions and suggesting you add options to make it manageable, raising the price significantly. Total scammers. The three people I spoke with all had Indian accents, leading me to believe they operate out of Kolkata, India, a known scam hub.
I refused to pay extra or add anything. Immediately after making the reservation, I read more about them and locked my card. I called my bank, canceled my current card, and requested a new one. Fortunately, the bank informed me they hadn't taken any money yet, likely waiting to extract more from me. What a joke.
Stay away, stay away, stay away. Not worth the hassle.

SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!
July 14, 2024

Bait & switch company run out of an apartment in Cockeysville MD. They'll allow you to book your flight with no problems but within 5min you'll receive a callback from them that they are having issues with your charge card. Asked us to send pictures of front & back of our card. In another 5min we received another call stating those fares were no longer available. Everything under the sun was going to cost additional. BIG additional! Baggage fees (SouthWest offers 2 bags free) were needed unless we upgraded, for another fee. We tried to change times or airlines, fees, fees! So while I was on the phone my wife called the airline directly & booked. You guessed it, more fees! Actually, it was, "No cancelation! Sorry." I told them not to charge my card or I'll report them to the credit bureau, and hung up. They called me back! FOUR TIMES! Tried to threaten me. Taunted me etc. If Trivago transfers you to them (like they did to me) HANG UP IMMEDIATELY!

Fraud company do not get trap
August 25, 2023

It's not easy to find time and write review, few negative review I read and ignored, that was my mistake and I learned from it, now I want to share my experience so that no one else get trapped.

The showed best price I was booking 3 tickets from Houston to Delhi so thought of trying and I booked the tickets, waited for 9 hours and started calling, there is no representatives the same person picks up the call and pretend to does not know anything about me, I was keep calling as our flight was 8 days later so had to do lots of planning stay and further travel reservation, and after 18 hours they were in regular business started asking in which price I am looking tickets and started offering other costly deals. I felt really sad this was emergency trip but for someone opportunity to waste our time collect card details and try to offer other deals.

Keep away from Book my air travel, all positive reviews are fake.

This site is a scam
November 25, 2022

This travel company is a total scam. I was searching for airfare to Hawaii and found bookmytravel.com website was advertising prices for over $1,000 less then the airline websites! Too good to be true? Yes! After booking my flight on their website I get a confirmation number but no ticket. An email the next day informs me that they could not reach the airline and my reservation is still on hold and I need to call them. After calling I am told that airfare no longer exists but for a lot more money I could get a different itinerary. I refused and booked my airfare on another site and was ticketed in under 5 minutes. Needless to say bookmytravel.com is still offering the exact same airfare on their website. Don't waste your time.

I booked a ticket with them and it said I could expect a E-Ticket within 4 hours. However, no ticket come to my email after 16 hours of booking. I tried to contact the customer service over phone and on chat. After listening to music for over 15 minutes the call disconnected and on chat the rep. Gave single word response in over 5 to 6 minutes. I am still trying to get hold of them at the time of writing this review. I have bad experience booking with them.

A bad experiance
August 2, 2023

I found a cheap flight but when I booked the flight was changed to a long one. Then I did not get confirmation after 24 hours but after 2 days a guy called me and wanted more money because my flight was sold out. He did not want to cancel but I needed to call another 2 times. I have never had so a bad experience with online booking.

They quoted me a price of $169 for my flight and sent me an email confirmation of the flight for that amount. Then later on they wrote me that the flight had increased to $244, and if I did not pay the difference, I would lose the flight. By then I was stuck--I had already booked the rest of my vacation. A sleazy company (I think this is called "bait and switch") that will rip you off. Stay away!

I bought tickets from Washington DC to Bangor ME from their website.
I received an email with confirmation from them same day, but after few days they cancel my tickets and sent me an email that we canceled your tickets no charge.
I had to go and buy double price ticket's straight from airline.
Their excuse was that American Airline for that roundrip was full. A Big lie!
Because I purchased the same tickets only more expensive!
So the flights were not full.
But something fishy is going on.
Because after getting my confirmation they were not suppose to cancel on their own.
Bottom line the worse company in our country. Do not Trust these people.
