OpenAirFare has a rating of 1.17 stars from 12 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. OpenAirFare ranks 133rd among Travel Deals sites.
When you see their prices are much lower than other sites, beware. It's a bait and switch to get you to buy thru them so they can tell you the fare is no longer available, but they can get you a seat on the flight for $$$ more per person. Many times people will pay the $$$ extra since they already committed to the purchase, even though the new price is more than what you would pay elsewhere by at least $50

Tip for consumers:
Bargain the new price down by threatening to cancel and go elsewhere
They call you within minutes and tell you the ticket I just paid for online was not confirmed and my card has not been charged. Give you a speech that you have to get your seat which is in a section of the plane for an additional cost. TOTAL BAIT AND SWITCH! Not adding photos bc I'm not super tech savvy and don't know how to edit this pic to block my info.
Tip for consumers:
Scam...other reviews are singing the same tune.
Products used:
None. I requested they DO NOT charge my card since they don't have the flight I reserved (and paid for).
Little bit of a bait and switch- when the flight I booked online wasn't available they offered me other flights for additional money. When I declined and requested to cancel, they were accommodating and easy to work with.
DO NOT USE OpenAirFare Please!
It shows really cheap airfare on line but NO airline TICKETS in my hands.
Their excuse says "THE FLIGHT YOU MAKE A RESERVATION IS FULLY BOOKED, THERE ARE NO MORE SEATS AVAILABLE. THAT'S WHY WE HAVEN'T CHARGED YET TO YOUR ACCOUNT"
If you booked a flight and if they don't call you within 2 hours, then you are NOT BOOKED.
I called in 2 days after I made a reservation and found out.
PLEASE DO NOT, DO NOT USE OPENAIRFARE.
OpenAirFare uses typical "Bait & Switch" sales tactic. I've booked my trip from their website for $329, and received confirmation by email. I've got a phone call from them in 10 minutes saying the tickets are not available, and with offer to buy a ticket from other airline for the price about $500. I wouldn't advise to deal with them: pure scam
Tip for consumers:
Do not use this site:Cheapflights.com or Openairfare.com. This is a scum.
Add me to other making the same claim -- great price found on Expedia's CheapTickets. Booked but no confirmation: Called and they said (from what seemed an overseas boiler room) that the ticket would be 3 times the booked price. Doesn't Expedia vet these vendors? Last time I'm using Expedia!
This site is just like Myflightmart! They advertise a low rate and then tell you the seats are sold out and offer a higher rate foe the same flight! Save time and frustration... don't use this booking site!
Tip for consumers:
Don't waste your time!
I booked several tickets and had to cancel because the fares are showing availability on the site and when I book and get confirmation, only to be told the seat is no longer available and ask to pay a more expensive price for the same flight. Total disaster!
I knew it was suspicious from the start. The flight price i found was so cheap. I am here to tell the next person, don't even bother. It's just a SCAM.
Totally fraudulent. One of many such booking sites online. They hook you in with cheap offers, which don't exist.
Stay away!
Booked a ticket, got a confirmation, never received an eTicket. Stated they tried to call us to let us know no seats were available. We never got a seat and didn't realize it until the day before the flight.
THEY SHOW A LOW PRICE AND COME BACK TO YOU WITH A MULTIPLE OF THAT
