Hidden fees and misleading pricing - Never again
January 30, 2026
Updated review

"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.

The price is not at accurate
January 27, 2026

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.

Booking snafu

Updated review

Original booking included checked baggage. Issued ticket did not include checked baggage. I had taken screen shots showing that checked baggage was included. SmartFares tried to get me to accept half the cost of the checked baggage. I refused and SmartFares eventually fully covered the cost of checked baggage.
