Good, fairly straight forward. I think if I was given the survey after successfully completing the flight I would have more confidence.

Never again!
May 8, 2025

I actually went on Cheaplights' web page, but ended up paying Smart Fares without leaving Cheapflights. After credit card payment was stopped, Smart Fares submitted another request for payment and it was paid. No one answered my phone call to Smart Fares but Truecaller showed it was a number in Rwanda.
Who can trust a company whose emails are signed by someone who calls himself "Sitejabber"?
The price of R22 500 appeared on my bank statement as R24 500! How do you do it?
Shame on you for cheating and scamming people this.
I should have known it was too good to be true...

They change my flight with an expensive one. Totally disappointed. I bought a fly and instead of be less expensive cost me more than buy the ticket directly to the airline.

Very dissatisfied

You publish a low fare then change to say it is no longer available. Outright cheating!

Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your recent experience with us. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have encountered and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

Please note that our fares are dynamic and fluctuate based on availability and demand. Upon reviewing your case, we identified that your booking could not be completed due to a declined credit card. Additionally, due to the inherently variable nature of airfare pricing—where fares frequently change and the original fare displayed on our website may no longer be available—this resulted in a fare adjustment. Following your request to cancel the reservation, we processed the cancellation accordingly.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at customerservice@smartfares.com.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Sincerely,
Team SmartFares

At first I was very stressed because I booked JHB/LUA/LIS 17th May returning LIS/LUA/JHB... When I paid the ticket. I saw that it was booked JHB/LUA and LUA/CPT... I panicked and phoned the airlines straight away LILLIAN was amazing and sorted out the problem. Not very impressed that I had to pay EXTRA USA 109

My initial experience to booking was good but later turned out to be awful due to the direct call with no result to complete my booking.

A little bit tricky
May 6, 2025

I bought a ticket which included fares and taxes but not all of them. So the site called me like an hour after the transaction and told me I had a payment missing. I admit I didn't check it didn't include that tax but also I think they should warn you about it

This was my first time ever purchasing a ticket through SmartFares. Price, easy website navigation, and purchasing experience were all good. HOWEVER, a rep started to call the day after to sell me their insurance. She called three times and asked if I would like to purchase the protection insurance. To be clear, that option was already available when I was purchasing the ticket, so I would have bought it if I felt it was necessary. There was no need for three extra marketing phone calls.
