Mis leading
September 8, 2025

Booked a flight based on quoted figure in SA Rands only to be charged in US Dollars which with exchange rates resulted in an additional cost of R1500. The advisory that this would happen was not clear prior to payment and was only apparent after payment was made. The dollar price should have been apparent before I made payment. I visited a South African website and was under the impression I was paying in rands. The confirmation received initially did not indicate that checked baggage was included - nor the seat allocation for which there was an additional charge. I still dont know whether an aisle seat requested has been allocated.

Critique
September 7, 2025

J'ai trouvé que c'était accessible et facile pour acheter les billets mais je suis très déçue de voir que ça me coûte plus cher que le prix qui était indiqué en Canadien au départ. Au final, j'ai payé en US. Très déçevant.

I had a very disappointing experience with this company. I booked a ticket on 23 August for €526.11, but later an additional amount was charged without clear justification. When I contacted customer service, I only received vague explanations about "currency conversion fees," and no proper resolution was offered. This behavior is unprofessional and unacceptable. I was forced to continue with my reservation because of my commitments, but I will never deal with this company again. I will also be leaving negative reviews on every platform to warn others about my experience.
