The company has established a strong reputation for its user-friendly platform and competitive pricing, with many customers praising the efficiency of the booking process and the helpfulness of customer service representatives. However, some concerns have been raised regarding communication issues, particularly related to flight changes and refunds, leading to frustration among users. While the majority of feedback highlights a positive experience, instances of delayed support and difficulties in correcting booking errors suggest areas for improvement. Overall, the company is viewed as a reliable option for budget-conscious travelers, yet it must enhance its customer service responsiveness.

Never use this site! They are horrible! Once you book you cannot change anything you will loose your money! Even when you book and pay they will email you saying that you need to call... I missed my flight before
Charge my card without confirmation. Send seat selection link day before flying, I pick open seat. No notice of charge in link and charge just showed up. Barely can understand the broken English of call center agent. Never use cheapo air again
Booked a quick trip to Vegas over the phone, he said he couldn't show us the flight details until after we paid, so we paid over the phone, he sent us the email and HE BOOKED A RANDOM FLIGHT FOR A RANDOM MONTH! When I contacted customer service, they said that I would now need to pay $1000 more for the CORRECT flight... it's a scam! DONT USE THEM! I now have to contact my CC company and report fraud. Just use something else. I've always had good luck with Expedia and Agoda.
I did extensive comparisons for my trips to Asia and without fail CheapOair finds me the best deals. They are also good at seat selections and updating you when there is an itinerary change with your flights.
Forks! Please be aware to use this website to book your traveling things. It is my nightmare to book air ticket in this website recently.
1. charge seat selection service fee without telling customer (the selection of seat is free from airline)
2. Charge $75 cancellation fee that booked less than one hour( credit card don't even process the transaction)
3. Charge seat change fee. This suppose to be free from the airline.
My wife and I are taking two of our grandchildren to China. After paying CheapOair, I called them up to get assigned seats. The representative informed me that the cost for assigned seats for the roundtrip would amount to approximately an extra $1200 total. Even though we cancelled within a few hours, they charge a $75/ticket cancellation fee, which almost no one else charges. If it is not in violation of the US Dept. of Transportation rules, it is certainly in violation of their intent. I do not understand how they think that this will not cost them much more in the long run, as we belong to various travel groups. Very poor public relations. Disgraceful. Fortunately we managed to get a better value elsewhere.
Tried to cancel my flight to get my money back then found out that my 3 tickets are nonrefundable. The guy on the phone said that I can get my insurance money back along with another refund that totaled $59.78. But to get that I would have to pay $150 first to cancel my tickets. So if I have to pay $150 which is $50 a piece. I'm only getting $9.78 back from a $400 trip plus the extra $100. No Thank You! Will not be using them ever again.
Be careful when you book. Even though there is a 24 hour cancellation policy, they still charge you a fee to cancel. Will never use this company again
Very good experience and customer service. Will continue using this website when am booking as I am a frequent flyer.
Very good, easy to access friendly customer service no long wait times when trying to speak with customer service representives prices are affordable I am greatful for your services.
Good job you guys are one of the best agency that I travel so far so good, keep it up! And I will definitely recommend cheapoair to others! Thank you and thank you again cheap o air!
I booked my flight and had a very positive trip. I appreciated the updates regarding my trip and special offers. Very user friendly. Thank you
Good prices but very bad customer service. Customer representatives are very impolite they don't have any idea how to deal with customers matter.
CheapOair has scammed a foreign transaction fee from me. There was no mention of this fee when I booked. I have spoken to someone through livechat and followed his instructions to call my bank. My bank told me that the fee had been charged because your website is not an Australian one even though it says/au at the end. Obviously I would not have used you if I had know of the extra HIDDEN charge
I love cheapoair. I made a mistake and bought a flight for the wrong date. I called and a the rep. Was very nice and understood my concern. He searched for the dates I wanted and even gave me the times to pick and accommodate my flight the way I wanted. I will continue to use cheapoair for as long as I travel.
After researching lots of flights, and spending lots of time to find the cheapest flight, it turned out that Cheapoair actually was the cheapest!
They baited me in with a slightly below average price for my travel. I booked after confirming the flight information and purchased the round trip package.
My confirmation email contained a different return flight which is completely unacceptable. They offered to change it for over $300 more! 15 minutes after I received the confirmation!
I found a much cheaper return flight through another company straight up without any exchange difference.
These people are crooks and scumbags. They like to blame the airlines for their deceptive actions too.
They also said that there is a cancel fee and I'd need to wait 7-10 days for my refund if I canceled.
This company is corrupt and their employees are arguementitve and barely speak English.
I booked a trip through cheap o air and PayPal. When we arrived to the airport, they stated our ticket was invalid. Invalid? After waiting an hour and essentially missing the flight, they claimed we were late and our flight was non refundable. We were late because of ticket was invalid. Meanwhile our bags sat in the location in which we were traveling to. They refused to help. The airline refused to help as we didn't book through them. We will never use them or United Airlines again. We lost money for a trip we never even went on. Terrible customer service. Terrible people. Terrible business. They get paid by screwing you over. Stay Away!
They are cheaters. I booked a flight less than 12 hrs ago with a flight insurance, and I got denied for a visa. They have been passing me around for the last 2 hours. UNHELPFUL, UNETHICAL, UNSUPPORTIVE, ROBBERS, CHEATERS. They have charged me 74$ for a USELESS insurance, and they do not do anything. I am very upset and very very disappointed. Pay a little extra somewhere that supports their customers. If anything happens to you they will not help. Save yourselves.
My experience with cheap O air has been Great!
From the beginning to the end everything was easy to access great prices for flights and hotels I have the app on my phone I use it all the time and will continue ty cheap O Air.
Answer: I would not use Cheapo under any circumstances. Look at the 698 (!) complaints at the Better Business Bureau website. They hide under the name Fareportal, which is the parent company.
Answer: Don't use them. Book through the airline. I paid to select my seats, then a week before my flight they put me and my companion in the middle seats in different rows!
Answer: Security may not be an issue but they can cheat you by hiding information you should know. I would suggest to not use them and their customer service personnel are also worst I have ever seen.
Answer: Provide the 8 digit booking number and what you need assistance with. Our apologies for the inconvenience
Answer: You can't and they will steal your money like what they did to me
Answer: Because they are scam, they just want to steal money from our pocket
