Very bad experience with smart fares
August 26, 2025

I am dissatisfied regarding the overcharge on my recent flight booking. After completing my booking and payment, I received a call from your company representative requesting additional charges And USD 80 deducted from my account, increasing the total amount paid to AED 14,260. However, the official price displayed on the Emirates website at the time of booking was AED 14,160, and no added services or benefits were provided to justify this difference. I am not satisfied with this treatment and requested a refund of the USD 80 overcharged And I reported the same but nobody review or support.

Pésima Experiencia
August 24, 2025

La peor experiencia de compra, realmente me sentí vulnerada en mis derechos como consumidor. Primero me obligaron a pagar impuestos que nunca entendí, luego me tuvieron que cambiar la fecha un día y me cobraron 750 dólares mas. Me indicaron que el nuevo vuelo venia con todos los equipajes incluidos y con reservación de asientos, lo cual fue un engaño ya que no es así. Para poder comunicarme por teléfono debo estar mínimo 45 minutos en la linea en espera, sin recibir ninguna solucion. Totalmente decepcionada!

Please note that to complete any booking, we also require a verification process to be completed. This is a crucial step we follow to help prevent any fraudulent activities and to ensure the safety and security of all our valued customers.

Unfortunately, in your case, we were unable to complete the verification, and as a result, the booking was cancelled. A notification regarding this was sent to the registered email address at the time of cancellation.

We understand this may have caused inconvenience, and we truly apologize for any frustration it may have caused. If you have any further questions or require assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team - we’ll be more than happy to help.

I could not understand how I could book a flight ticket for an advertised price by your company, the money immediately went out of my account. Just to find out that I have to pay an extra 100$ to finalize my booking.

Scammers
August 24, 2025

Their offer was the cheapest so it won over the others, I placed the order yet no confirmation came from the airline. After inquiring I learned that they showed outdated fares so SmartFares said our offer wasn't real now you have to pay more. A Scam!

Bait and switch
August 23, 2025

Not pleased. In the middle of booking your site timed me out. After I logged back in the rate had gone up and your agent said I had to hurry up and book or it would go up further. I would like my $106 refunded, but I bet you won't do the right thing and right the wrong.
