A huge Con
December 13, 2024

Tried to book a flight and you have to call them to do so. When I did, I was quoted £200 more than was advertised. It is a complete con - I said that there were multiple flights listed on the website that were current and I had just checked them before I called. I then contacted the complaints number and was promised that they would look into the matter...she then came back and offered me one for £300 more. Just a huge, huge con - same on them

Booked a ticket and was willing to pay the credit card fee. Then Adan idiot returned call and said (ext - 1114), a travel consultant, had informed that only bank transfers were accepted for this ticket, wasting 45 minutes on the phone.Don't waste your time ringing this hopeless agency

If everything goes well ok, but...
April 6, 2023

Flightguru.com books through an un-known third party which can lead to the many strange billing issues, lack of confirmation, and itinerary changes outlined in many other reviews. We booked a couple of last minute flights for very good deals (which they seem to have regularly) which worked well. But when trying to book a flight in advance their prices are often double what you can find elsewhere! On one of our bookings with them we had to cancel a return flight and we were issued a refund by the airline. But, the refund went to the third party. In order to redeem it we tried 4 different times to book with Flightguru, but each time the cost was more with the refund than a flight we could book ourselves! The last time we tried to book using our refund, after several times calling and emailing to find a reasonable costing flight, they just ignored us and would not even return our calls or emails. In general they have very poor communication, and because of it, we lost a $450 refund.

Something is fishy
June 14, 2023

I booked a flight through flightguru.com and when I went to the flight website to look at my booking I entered the e ticket number which then it wants to send me a validation code but for some reason it's not my email nor my phones number it's flight guru "ticketing department " information. Why is it not my info. I called and got hung up on. Worst service ever. I just hope my ticket is legit.

Scam flight website
June 14, 2023

This is definitely a scam business. I bought a plane ticket on their website but they responded 1 day later that the ticket could not be purchased. They did not issue a refund despite many weeks passing by. I had to contact them several times to get a hold of them.

Omg, it was the worse experience.
August 22, 2023

Omg, what a $#*!show. We used them for flights to Amman, Jordan in business class. They confirmed, the airline confirmed and now, one month before departure, the airline said they canceled. How can they cancel? We paid in full. They will not answer their phone or email. They want you to leave a message and they will return the call. It never happened.
We are going through our credit card company to get out $6000+ back.hopefully.
Never use them.

Refund issue
April 10, 2024

Flight guru is the worst, they have just taken money and the flight was cancelled. I have emails saying I can rebook and they will use my credit but that never happened. Now they have taken the money and are not giving any credit either.
Worst customer care, nobody cares.

The Flights Guru
February 15, 2023

I was worried about navigating the complex world of airline regulations, but the flight guru made everything clear and simple.
The flight guru's attention to detail is unparalleled, ensuring that every aspect of my trip was planned to perfection.
When my flight was delayed, the flight guru sprang into action, finding me a new route that got me to my destination on time.
From finding the best deals to navigating unexpected obstacles, the flight guru is the ultimate travel companion.

Scammers
July 29, 2023

Don't answer phones, the website goes dark. We found out they are taking our money and using miles. They are miles brokers - buy miles cheap and then have customers pay for the flights. Just know that if your flight is canceled or you need to change your flight - you cannot because your flight was booked with miles. Delta audits for tickets made by flight brokers. It would be one thing if they advertised that they are point brokers, but they don't. They take your money and then run. Do not buy tickets from them, buy from airline direct. We are out 2.7K. The guys are crooks.

We got a significantly lower fare by booking Japan Airlines from SFO to HND through FlightGuru. It did take a little over nine hours for FlightGuru to actually book the ticket, which made me a little nervous, since I don't really understand what is happening during that delay or how it's even possible for FlightGuru to save as much money as it seems like they did. I'd say that if you want the simplest experience, pay extra money and book directly with the airline, but if you don't mind a little uncertainty/delay, then you can save real money with FlightGuru. I plan to use FlightGuru in the future. I don't really understand the reviews on this site that claim that FlightGuru is a "bunch of thieves" --- while I imagine some FlightGuru customers may have legitimate reasons to be upset, nothing I've seen supports the idea that FlightGuru is trying to rip you off or steal anything.

My recent experience with Flight Guru has left me utterly frustrated and disappointed. After receiving an email stating that my booking was "in process" and that I would receive further confirmation once the booking was confirmed, I was left hanging without any updates or clarity.

I was initially lured in by their promises and received an email stating, "Your order could not be completed. Please note that refunds may take several business days to post back to your account. We look forward to hearing from you next time you travel"

The term "refund" implies a return of funds for a service that was not rendered. However, I've been subjected to nothing but manipulation and mistreatment. Instead of honest communication, I was met with silence, and instead of a resolution, I received vague excuses about refund processing times.

It's been 4 months now, and still I haven't received any refund. This experience has left me feeling cheated, disregarded, and incredibly disappointed in their services. I strongly advise anyone considering booking through them to think twice. The lack of transparency, communication, and professionalism displayed in this situation is a clear indication of their inability to uphold their commitments to customers.

My hope in sharing this review is that others will be spared the frustration and disappointment I've experienced. As consumers, we deserve better treatment and service

Poor customer service snd don't honour price
August 22, 2022

They don't honour the original price. When Virgin changed the flight, despite Virgin not charging for any alterations, Flights Guru refuse to liaise with Virgin to try and sort out agreeable changes and want to charge you instead. They then failed to answer my emails from February to June, stating the reason being the customer advisor was off sick and his manager only had started to get round to going through his emails! Despite trying to change the price and hence terms of the contract, they still refuse to refund the deposit. Cowboy firm. Also no s75 protection

THEY DESERVE ZERO STARS! 1 is the minimum.

I called the American Airlines 800 number from the AA.com website. Flights4u.com, a subsidiary of FlightGuru somehow intercepted my call. They took my record locator, American Advantage number and credit card number. I knew something didn't seem correct, but since I called the actual American number, I thought they were legitimate. After the call, I called back the same 800# from the website. This time, I was told American would call me back when an agent was ready. This is what normally happens.

When I spoke to a real American agent, she looked at my info and saw that someone from a 3rd party called in and cancelled my reservation. American was able to reinstate everything for me.

I had to change my AAdvantage number and cancel my credit card. Flight4u is a scam!

Rouge Company
July 8, 2022

This company is full of Rogues, Jordan and Paul their manager are the two I dealt with. They tell you you need to pay more for a flight that they have said it was secured and collected a deposit for. The aim is to get more from you. They are liars and insist you must do business with them Their 5 star reviews are fictitious. They refuse to give back money they have taken and start to offer unsolicited alternatives. I have raised a compliant with trading standards and ABTA. I intend to flag this up the aviation complaint chain. Bunch of Thieves.

Hi Kemi,

We believe you may have confused us for another company. We don't have anybody at our company named Jordan or Paul. There is a UK-based company with a very similar name to ours. We are flightguru.com (a US-based company). If you find in fact that this is the case can you kindly remove this review?

If you are indeed a customer of ours please reply with more information (a confirmation number, record locator, etc) so we can make this right.

Thank you much,
FlightGuru Support

I purchased tickets on this site for a trip in 2020. Since no one could travel internationally i asked for a refund. I was told that i would get a credit for travel. I could use this credit by Feb. 2022. In the process of trying to book a flight was a back and forth with no resolution. The biggest problem is that every flight they offered was also $600 more per ticket. This additional charge and my credit would make the cost of the ticket at $ 1600 Looking on their web page shows the cost of the flight i wanted was only $1000 per ticket. I have asked to just have my money returned and been told that the "ticket provider" doesn't offer that price. Although the agents i have spoken to or emailed have been nice they simply can not help me. I have filed a complaint with the DOT hoping to get some help there.

I am very disappointed and upset with Flightguru. I purchased my ticket, paid an extra $49 for insurance, and now that I have a FAMILY MEDICAL EMERGENCY I can't get a hold of anyone! I called, held on for an infinite amount of minutes, emailed them, and yet still no response. I have a 93-year-old Great Uncle who was rushed to the hospital in London and does not have anyone here who can stay by his side, but me. I need to delay my flight and reschedule it with Flightguru and though I have stated this in my email and left a message no one has even bothered responding. This is pathetic. I AM ABOUT TO CONTACT THE NEWS AND SHARE MY STORY. Everyone should know how pitiful this company is and their total and complete lack of compassion. My flight leaves in hours and I need someone to help me with my ticket. They have my money and yet I don't have the help they claim to offer.

Worst agency ever
April 14, 2021

Flightguru.com is the worst air agency I have dealt with in the last quarter of a century, my flight was supposed to take place this May, unfortunately it was canceled by the carrier due to a pandemic, they did not even rush to inform me about it, they do not want to return my money like it was my fault, I literally never had anything to do with anything like this Flight Guru resets and reaps on pandemic knowing what financial situation some families are in, shame, never want to deal with them again, scammers!

Do not use
April 29, 2024

Whatever you do stay clear of the Flights Guru. We had to sue them through the UK small claims court to force them to return £2k in flight deposits that they had refused to return when we had to cancel our flight. They overcharge for deposits contrary to UK law stating the amounts are non refundable when they have no justification for doing so. Todate TFG have not complied with the County Court Judgement (CCJ) and have a CCJ recorded against them. We intend to take further legal action against them for non payment.

Is a scam
June 23, 2022

They will take your money, "buy you a ticket" and then when you actually register for your flight you find out that no, they never did buy you tickets. They will also never refund your money, so is a complete scam.
