I contacted the chat support because my card payment was declined, but the website wouldn't let me enter another card. The chat support provided helpful assistance, but afterward, I received two emails attempting to charge me an additional fee for a cost update, which I wasn't notified about when I made my last, successful payment.
The price was the best and the service was very smooth. Got an airline confirmation in a day and I was able to verity my reservation with the airline. All is good to go!
It's been easy enough to follow the directions and smooth transaction so far.
I was able to purchase one ticket for ~$750 then was told my second ticket would be $1600. I went ahead and purchased and today saw that I could purchase the same ticket from you for $1000. I called but was told once the ticket was issued I couldn't make changes. Seems like a bit of a racket.
Good prices and booking was very simple. Nothing confusing or changing on you as you click around. Confirmation emails from this site and the airline were prompt.
I twice while booking declined theb$84 "flexible ticket" fee. This is a ridiculous fee. It still showed up on my confirmation still so I had to call and request a refund. Still waiting for it to post.
I said no to flexible ticket and you still added it.
Booking through SmartFare was simple. It showed all my options clearly for the options and dates I had selected. I was not distracted by misleading 'ads.' The prices are shown with all fees included so there's no surprise at checkout! I will say, I was little worried waiting for actual confirmation of flights but it only took about 24 hours for the actual confirmed reservation to come through!
As long as everything goes well the days of travel. This booking experience was super easy.
We made a booking mistake and, in order to change the return flight time within 1 hour of our original reservation, we were charged $110 US Dollars per ticket. We will not use their service again.
The aplicación is quite simple and user-friendly
"I had a very bad experience with this company. I agreed on a price through their website, but when I proceeded to pay, they added a 45% surcharge. After arguing with customer service for a long time, they only refunded a very small portion of that extra cost. I will NEVER book with this company again. Be careful with their hidden fees."
It makes it seem like if I dont fill out the satisfaction survey, then the confirmation of payment is somehow voided, which is why I'm filling this out just in case. Which is counter intuitive to your reason for sending this hoping for positive feedback. But when it is forced or suggestive, it's not great service.

I did not receive the confirmation from my purchase. I had to call and request it. Afterwards, I noticed I had two confirmations.

The the price which was shown when I did the payment, was not the same amount that we deduct from my account. It was about 100 Euro more as it should have been.
I am trying to get it back.
