DO NOT USE, FULL SCAM
December 2, 2022

Sky Tour should be named by the consumer protection agency. They scam people for money.
Absolutely shady business. In my case I had a duplicate flight booked. Airline refunded the agency in full, but sky tour kept all the refund claiming they paid bogus fees that they couldn't provide and invoice for. Lost over $1000. DO NOT USE!

COVID-19 has been challenging for everybody and I understand that the amount of work most be huge. However my flight was cancelled and I never received an email neither to notify me about this, nor to talk about alternatives, nor to talk about refunds. I have been on hold with no reply for an hour. I was supposed to travel in 2 days! The worst thing is that they are marketing their company like nothing is happening and without giving any kind of apology. This is a scam!

Got confirmation of my booking within less than an hour of making it. Had trouble opening the initial e-tickets sent to me, but agents were quick to respond to my query and e-tickets were sent shortly thereafter. I then also called the airline to ensure that my booking was confirmed with them, which it was. The return Durban - NYC tickets purchased were significantly cheaper than any other travel agent or airline was offering.

My husband booked some flights for our family to Galapagos islands at a great price and after paying online I got a bit nervous and started looking at revs. Panicked when I saw the negative reviews and was expecting all to be a disaster but 15 minutes later we got our confirmation email with a booking ref number and E ticket numbers through LATAM airways. Jumped onto their website and checked the booking, seats seem to be there as booked. Only problem was no baggage was allocated so had to pay an extra $90AUD for 3 people for the 2 flights to the airlines directly but still out in front. Not flying for another 6 weeks so fingers crossed all keeps going ahead as planned, So far cant really fault them to date. Seemed to be lots of good reviews on Trustpilot.

I was helped and Sky-tours responded to my emails in a mannerly time especially during this pandemic and helped me to cancel my reservation. Although I did not get a refund but I did get future credit.

I booked a ticket 3 days ago and received the booking confirmation. My credit card has already been charged without any ticket issued. The support team has been very responsive but they just keep on telling me to wait a bit longer for the ticketing department to issue the ticket. I checked the airline website and there are no more flights available on the booked flight date. Because of your delay, there are no more tickets available. I need to be on that flight. I should have booked with the airline itself. I don't have money anymore to get another ticket. I'm worried that I'll get stranded in another country because I'm not sure if I have the ticket or not!

Dear Gladys,

Thank you for choosing Sky-tours.com

We regret the inconvenience caused to you, we tried to confirm the reservation as booked however the airlines rejected our request because they were either fully booked or not operating as per its schedule. As per your discussion with our support team, we have already released the funds back to its original form of payment.
In case you need any further, please feel free to write us at https://support.sky-tours.com

The worst!
March 8, 2022

My children are military members. When we tried to book a flight to get my son home for Christmas, my daughter found militaryfares.com and booked a round trip flight. The first leg of his return flight was cancelled due to mechanical issues and no alternatives were offered. He found a flight with Southwest and luckily got back in time to report for duty. Little did I know, Militaryfares.com uses Sky Tours to book their travel. I have been fighting with Sky Tours for 6 weeks for my refund. Frontier won't respond because I didn't book through them.

I made a booking for my sister and soon got confirmation email but it didn't included any airline confirmation or ticket number. I followed up with them couple of time to get the details on it to which they responded that the confirmation will be sent soon. A day alter I received an email from them asking another $200 for booking. I have already alerted my card company to mark this transaction but not sure if it works. Anyone has any idea on how to get refund or where to file complaint against them?

AVOID
April 1, 2022

This company is a scam. Book directly with an airline instead.

For months, I have been trying to get a refund from this company after the airline cancelled a flight, and for months they have been claiming the airline has not issued the refund. Yet, people I knew who booked the same flight through different means we're able to get their refund within a week. I even bought a package ensuring I would get assistance if my flight was cancelled to get a refund. They have dismissed my constant request of proof of correspondence with the airline, and tried to push a voucher for 30% off of booking with them as a refund after waiting months for a full refund? Why would I want to spend more money at this company when they cannot issue a simple refund?

What is the point of responsive customer service if the customer is just going to be actively dismissed?

Avoid this company for your sanity's sake.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for writing us.

Please refer to our terms an conditions for more details,

CREDIT VOUCHERS RESTRICTIONS (COVID 19)
As travel stopped worldwide in April 2020 and crippled the travel trade with meanwhile 30% of all airlines and business partners out of business many clients would not receive any refund. Skytours decided however to pay back everybody even if we will never receive any money anymore from former partners. We want to keep you harmless. But for being able to do so, without risking our own existence we have to link the refund with a new purchase. Depending on the total voucher value it can be used to cover up to 30%, 50% or 100% of the new booking. You may buy any service from us, flights on any airlines, car rental, and hotel rooms not only for you but you may use this voucher value also for your family and friends as well until the voucher is 0 (zero).

In case you need any further assistance, please write us at https://support.sky-tours.com

I booked a ticket with this company and they said my transaction was not approved by the payment company. They asked me to provide identification and credit card number as well as filling out a form with personal information and consent to approve the transaction. But then, after receiving personal information, they said they detected fraud and, therefore, the transaction could go through. The money was removed from my account anyway. They claimed it would be returned within a few days. Then they insisted that I make a bank transfer, which is sketchy enough, considering it's less secure and I never received the initial payment back. I believe they are not trustworthy, which I realized after seeing the reviews of other people in the same situation. Even if the money comes back, I am at a loss of a ticket and had to wait to book a new one. Do not book with this website.

After year and half of waiting for our refund from skytours. Recently found out that airline already returned the refund to Skytours but this agency keep on lying about refund not received. Then they aggred on September 02,2021 to return our money $508.90. When I asked when can we expect our money they said international transfer are closed right now. But all of sudden they sent me a email now saying that refund is given to us already in form of a voucher which is only valid till October 2021. Last year they said they can give refund voucher because they are waiting for money from airline. I never aggred to receiving any voucher because we can't travel because of this pandemic. Now they got the money from airline, but didn't want to return to us. So unprofessional, liars. Again I urge everyone never use this online skytours agency. They are so greedy. I will update if I ever get my money back.

Dishonest Engine
March 18, 2019

I was booking a flight on the platform and had received confirmed tickets and itinerary. Subsequently I received an email saying that I had to pay more money if not my tickets would be released claiming that I could not utilise 'early fares'. This felt very much like extortion since they would not honour the price they set for their customers.

I would warn everyone to stay away.

I have never had such a bad customer service in my life. First of all, they messed up with the tickets for my parents and only sent half of them. Then, they didn't send the proper booking reference. The email that we sent never got answered. Then, with this whole current situation, the flights of course also got impacted. We sent and email with a few questions, and they only replied one question. We asked again the remaining questions, and again only one question got answered. And the answer was written in a very unprofessional manner. It seems like changing employees are working on those requests and you don't have one real contact person per request. I did a little bit of digging and came across the weirdest explanations and excuses why they don't have a proper customer hotline/service. The only thing you hear is "We are very sorry, but..." "and there is never any attempt to solve the issues.

After months of trying to get a refund (or even rebooking) of three international tickets my family had booked with Sky-tours.com (Andorra) for flights cancelled during COVID, I was informed by Emirates Airlines (the issuing airline) that a refund had already been made. Since I never received anything from Sky-tours.com (now not even responses to emails), I can assume that they have kept my refund for themselves. My only recourse from here is legal. This should be warning enough to stay away from this company.

We booked a flight back in January 2021 (so 18 months ago). That flight was cancelled due to COVID 19. Despite all airlines and agents promising all cancelled flights will be refunded, we still haven't received a refund. Absolutely disgraceful. We contacted Virgin Atlantic who told us that Sky Tours have been paid the refund, yet despite many emails Sky Tours claim they can't provide a refund. They have now provided us with a credit voucher which is no good for us when based in Australia. However, they also have many conditions on the voucher such as can only use the voucher up to 50% of the flight cost etc etc. It really beggars belief and I will never use Sky Tours again. I have no idea how they have managed to get away with this. I am now looking at what legal options we have in the UK as we are talking about $3500.

Advertizing Air
March 18, 2018

Obviously, I'm not the only one failing to book flight tickets from Sky-tours. I found my favorite combo to San Francisco and went on with the booking procedure. Finally, I was informed that the tickets in the chosen price category were sold out. Later, I received a personal e- mail and was offered the same product. Only the price was higher! Do I need to say that I didn't accept the "offer"?

Flight I was looking for came up at a great price on skyscanner, clicked through and booked it at price, 20 minutes later get an email through to say booking had been cancelled. Spoke to someone via messenger and was told that the flight combination wasn't possible so had to book again with different airlines, at which point, the price is no longer competitive. If it sounds too good to be true...
