Booking was really easy to do, was able to find a great fare after searching multiple website. I called there phone support for few questions regarding baggage and the team helped quickly. Thanks, keep up the great work.
Somehow my wife ended up getting several flight reservation charges going through on her credit card when she was trying pay for the flight through CheapFareGuru. Her bank cancelled her card and rejected all the charges. CheapFareGuru then kept trying and threatening to continue charging her a cancellation fee. It took 3 calls for her to get someone at CheapFareGuru to cancel the flight reservation. Still do not think this drama with CheapFareGuru is over.

For the last time in my life I used a CheapFareGuru agent. I also will not buy any tickets from any travel agency. In order to ensure that my time is not wasted and my property is not stolen by CheapFareGuru. My mental is not tortured. I sincerely remind everyone to always read reviews of this company before purchasing any ticket. Because they are all knives that kill without blood. I will definitely report CheapFareGuru for deceiving consumers, publishing false ticket information, bad service, and being a pyramid scheme company.
Horrible, horrible, and horrible. Shop elsewhere. I purchased the insurance but Cheap Fare Guru didn't want to honor it! They had me calling different places that took nearly 50 minutes to get someone on the phone. The insurance told me they shouldn't have told me to call them because I am covered under the insurance I purchased. When I called Cheap Fare Guru back, which took another half hour more than the one hour initial wait to have someone answer, they said the will charge me ridiculous fees per person. Then they wanted me to call the airlines, just so they can get me off their back. This is the worst I've seen in the airline industry. Suppose I wanted to cancel my tickets since I had horrible service. Per my insurance coverage, I'm covered 100%. Cheap Fare Guru wants to charge me about $600 per person! That's the same price for changing the return date as well. Total cheaters.

My sister called me at the airport and told me that her confirmed air ticket is no longer available. We purchased air ticket through cheapfareguru.com. When I call customer service, I was told that cheapfareguru.com is no longer in control of the ticket and that I should call the airline myself! They refused to help or at least trying to help.
United Airlines changed the times of my round trip flight a number of times. Yesterday I got texts and emails about another time change, Then a phone call from someone insisting that I look at either the email or text that just arrived and that I need to immediately confirm that they're OK. The changes were very minor so I sent an OK back. Today I read the email in more detail and saw a $50 charge for this service. I never changed anything. The fellow who called never mentioned the fee. The urgency to send the OK was their go-ahead to charge me. If I had bought the ticket directly from United there would be no charge. I think these people are at least semi-crooks. BTW the wait to talk to someone was very long. Obviously I will never use them again.
This scam company hopes to one day be shut down and be in the news.They told me that $75 would be deducted for refunding the check and $350 would be paid for the difference. But when my daughter canceled they were all talking about trains and the prices kept changing. Originally, my daughter bought insurance, the change fee should only be up to US$300. In the end, he charged my daughter a service fee of $100. After they ordered it for me, they steal it from my credit card the next day. Originally, the one-way price of the new order was US$1091 for my child. He ordered me US$1128.7. They scoundrelly don't answer the phone. I'm going to file a complaint against them.
Tip for consumers:
Everyone happily ordered, but later they served a butchering plate. There is no need to use a knife to kill people, no tricks to defraud, people to kill without blood, and drain consumers of their money. Everyone buying tickets should check their website and reviews in advance. Avoid the second me.

11day befor flight found out my seats was canceled no refund was made and they charge extra $50 don't said why. There is no help, no customers service answer. Stay away from this criminal. They will take your money and hide. I give one star because there is not a picture with a dung.
Tip for consumers:
Don't use this company on top that they take your money you can lose your seats without any notice, and there is no refunds nor costumers services

This is a one-man operation business (from India). There is no 24-hour free cancellation-be careful when you buy from the website.
Why don't buy from priceline and any other official business sites!
Use them all the time, but right now not so pleased.
They have On hold my return flight, plus $765 extra money for a flight that could not have made it back to the US as you cannot fly from London straight to Phoenix right now.
When you call they are reluctant to give you your money back, stating fees e. T. c.
Thing is I had to fly back on Delta as they were blocking the middle seats.
So this has cost a fortune.
Not Happy, people are right customer service is awful.
This booking was cancelled by the airline when part of the itinerary was cancelled by them. I called the call center on December 19 to cancel the flight. I spent close to three hours on the phone – the call dropped three times, and during the majority of the time during the calls, I was on hold waiting to talk to someone or often put on hold while the agent was busy supposedly trying to help me. While the rep originally told me about the "service fee" during the call, (I do not recall anything about a service fee when I booked the flight), after I explained about the flight cancellations, I was then told that the fee would be waived. I was grateful and all time I spent waiting or calling seemed worth it. Imagine how surprised I was to get an email charging me this fee! And after all the frustration of the call!
I wrote them but received a bland reply, and not even an acknowledgment of the frustration and time spent on this. And, of course, no refund.
I have booked with Cheap Fare Guru in the past, but I doubt I would them again.
Very disappointed and would advise to stay away from this site. We booked a R/T ticket and thought okay as advised on site that we could cancel at no charge within 24 hours. What was not clear, is they will still charge you their service fee of $50 per ticket. We canceled within 30 minutes, but they still get $100 for doing basically nothing at all. Had to wait on hold for 30 minutes, they cancelled within 5 mins. What a rip off!

STAY AWAY- THEY WILL NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY 925.00 gone. They said two pay periods sound like money laundering. NEVER USE THEM. I TRAVEL EVERY MONEy and NEVER dealt with scammers like this. I will dispute the charge and get it back that way
We booked a flight through CFG at a pretty price at first. The airlines later updated flight schedule. CFG forwarded that email and charged us $70.00 for "transportation". It was their job to earn commission. We disputed this unlawful charge with our credit card. Because CFG could not swallow this illegal charge, they had to vomit it out. BEWARE of this CROOK!

I cancelled within 24 hrs and they ended up charging me 75$ as a service - complete bull$#*! website
The customer service was automated and kept hanging up after a certain point. The live chat option would say someone would email me within 24 hours, that did not happen. They kept changing my flight itinerary. I paid almost $3000 for 2 flights and finally got $139 refund!
They have non existent customer service. Tried reaching them about an issue and could not reach anyone after 5 tries and holding ridiculously long lengths of time. Totally unacceptable. Found out my ticket does not allow me to pick seats. Very disappointed and do not recommend using them. Customer Service should be a top priority as well as customer satisfaction but not with them.
I ordered a ticket from Cheap Fare Gurus and paid for it in full. Then they changed my ticket to an earlier time. Here is the caveat... Because they changed my ticket time, they charged me an extra $50 in addition to my ticket. I could see if I made the change, but they changed it. So beware of Cheap Fare Gurus!
Wish I had read review's first. I had to cancel our trip for medical reasons. They would not refund our money. Only Credit, and that wasn't the full amount we had paid. Only given 9 months to use ticket. Called and called to check on new flight in 2023 and never did get an agent. Phone kept dropping call. Are they still in business? Now I know how they make their money. Very dissatisfied with this company. They are crooks.
Tip for consumers:
Their cancellation policies. Refunds on cancellations and being able to re-contact them for information. on how to use the credit.

No word to explain their unprofessional ethics. They robbed my money but stained their reputation forever! Do not trust them avoid by any means!
This is a scam.I could not reach ANYONE! I I even called at 5:30 am and got the same message, too many
Callers. Don't bother holding!

Charge accepted $227.94

How or where do I report this company for scamming people of their money. Had to cancel due tickets due to a family emergency, tried calling multiple times to get the flight rebooked, just kept telling that either seats are not available or asking exonerable price. Poor customer service. Hold for several hours. Can US Govt ban this company so innocent customers are not affected.

I purchased tickets for a trip to Seattle a couple months in advance. Then the **airline** changed the flight number, and I was charged a $25 change fee. I called the travel agency, but was told, "nope, doesn't matter who makes the change." Just wow! I will never book another flight through these guys. :(
Tip for consumers:
It is entirely inappropriate for a travel agency to charge its customers for changes made that are out of the control of the customer.

Paid extra for the premium travel assist. Been on hold for over an hour despite claims that you get to skip the wait with this add on purchase. The seat the sold me on a United flight shocking can't have an infant lapseat added onto it. It's considered changing the reservation which is a $160 dollar fee. Stay away.

My 81 year old mom wanted to book a flight on Frontier. These guys had an ad acting like they were Frontier. Mom bought a ticket for the same price she could have had on Frontier but there was also a $40 add on fee. She tried to change the date later that day but was told there was a no refund policy. The booking process was complicated - you have to respond to an email confirming you want the ticket.
These guys are rip-off artists working on deception and preying on the unwary. Avoid them. $140 down the drain for my mom.
