I booked my flight through Bravofly and received the confirmation after a couple of minutes. The staff were helpful and followed up on my request. So yeah it wasn't that terrible.

Rubbish website, take money very fast within 3 mins straight say booking cancelled, in the end I double confirm, they already know there is no slot on the plane as I checked with other providers before them, but they still take money first then say they will refund next time, the way this company does this is so embarrassing, where is the professionalism

Very difficult to get a hold of the customer service department. I booked a flight from the 22nd of August to 27 of August and I receive an email confirmation for the 22nd of August to the 27th of September!

Very disappointed that this mistake has been made especially that I am traveling in 3 days! At least answer your phone! I have sent 2 emails already and no acknowledgment.

Come on people! This is not good customer service -_-

Please advise asap.

Cheers,
Carla

Google led me to Bravofly for a low-cost ticket to fly to Coober Pedy. Print on booking form very faint, difficult to read. Took a long time to make entries. After giving card details, message said there was an error but no help to correct it. The booking timed out and when I was able to resume, the cost had increased by forty-three dollars. Payment failed again, no explanation. Made final attempt, cost now over thirty dollars more than previous quote. Had trouble exiting website back to Google, was dumped on hotels page with no back/home exit buttons and the site address could not be deleted. Time stolen from me -- over 2 hours.

I book 2 tickets from Kuala Lumpur to Bali on 10th-20th June. Booking reference ID OD*******. My departure is coming in the next 5 days and I am not sure about the flight.

There was only notification saying Bravofly needs confirmation from my bank. However it has been 4 days since then. I expect online payment should always be automatic.

Dear Pearl C.,

Many thanks for having contacted us through Sitejabber and I'm sorry to learn about your negative booking experience. Unfortunately sometimes the specific flight fare you select can have a sudden fare increase after your booking request and prior the airline's confirmation. Such fare increasements can happen from one second to the next flight ticket fares being highly dynamic. In such occasion customer is always being informed and offered the possibility to pay for the difference or to cancel. I tried to search your booking in our system but perhaps the ID booking you gave is wrong as I couldn't track any request in our system. Could you please send me a private message after having double checked your booking ID?

Thank you,
Sofia

I would NOT use Bravofly again! They looked as if they were offering a good price - about $60 less than the fare of the airline's own website. This price was in large print repeatedly until the last page when in small print they added a $60 administration fee bringing it back to the original fare.

Before that in the process, their search engine had offered a price but when it was selected it was not available and a "class upgrade" required a higher price.

This is misleading - it would be easy not to notice the increase after repeated lower prices being displayed.

Tip for consumers:
Watch the real price very closely!

Our service and credit card fees vary depending on destination, airline and type of card used therefore these must be added at those particular sections of the transaction process.

Our aim is to provide our customers with the best offers available in order to give you the possibility to fly at the most economical price. In addition, on certain occasions there may also be discounts available.

We are sorry that on this occasion you are unhappy with the way it was displayed and thank you for your feedback. Should you wish to discuss this further please let us know your 9-digit Bravofly ID.

Kind regards, Sofia

We made two bookings with Bravofly nearly two months ago and have still not been able to resolve some issues that occured in relation to them. The customer service seems to be very poor. What started out as a simple mistake that could have been corrected within a day or two had the customer service agents paid more attention to what we had said in our initial e-mails/calls now turned into a complicated issue that has been going on for nearly two months. At this stage I don't have much faith left it will be corrected in time for us to take our Christmas flights as intended. I am sorry I used this agency and will do my best to avoid them in the future.
******UPDATE*******
Following the above review I was contacted by a CS rep asking for all the details of the issue and some 24 hours after providing those, we received a confirmation of the corrected bookings. The colleagues working on the phone directly with clients should take a leaf out of this person's book because this is exactly how issues should be dealt with, and I am very grateful for the help that we finally received, even though it was long overdue. Consequently I am changing my rating to two stars, but I will definitely be very careful with this agency going forward.

Poor design and user interface. Had to call the airline to get a confirmation of my reservation. The specific flight I was interested in was cheap, but you get what you pay for in terms of service: nothing.

I purchased a trip from Sydney - Sweden recently that due to unforeseen circumstances I am attempting to cancel.

I requested on Thursday gone to cancel the flight regardless of the $500 fee Etihad imposes. I informed the operator and was assured I woul dhave a result within 24 hours. I called on Sunday to find nothing had been done yet. I have now called Monday and Tuesday to find they are "waiting for a reply from Etihad".

I contacted Etihad who are happy to assist but cannot refund me directly. They stated all Bravofly have to do is action a refund on their Etihad system and it will be instant. They provided me a rough figure on what to expect back.

I contact Bravofly who now tell me this isn't how airlines work and that they must contact manually for every refund (2 different operators tell me this garbage).

The flight I was on is Government business and will be swiftly followed up with the appropriate legal and department action should a result not be reached very soon. I will update this if I get any help.

EDIT: After speaking with Sofia she was helpful and was able to provide me a prompt refund. It shouldn't have to be like this but in the end I received an OK result. Regular customer service was hopeless and did not want to help.

Booking went smooth.
What I didn't like were the 2 x extra charges for agency and payment by credit card. This was not like that, when I was booking before and it changes the price!

This is a cowboy company. I have lost my money booking a domestic flight in India from the UK. But thank God it was not a big amount... You are better off going to the airline yourself where you can book the plane at £30 cheaper. I paid them £52 thinking it was cheap in comparison to other companies. I did the booking on line. It gave me a confirmation by email that all was booked and gave me a PNR number. But when I checked the PNR with the airline... GOAir, there was no booking. It was a fake PRN. I checked with Bravofly and they said it was strange, they were getting the same problem. Basically their call staff are generally useless. Although not rude, they are very unhelpful. They never return your call when they said they would and when you ring back they lie and said their colleague spoken to had just left when this was not true. BE CAREFUL. I would not advise you to go with them. CHEAP IS MORE EXPENSIVE.

Tip for consumers:
PLEASE FORGET IT. THEY ARE COWBOYS
