Unexpected charge
May 1, 2025

After paying for my tickets, I was told that I would have to pay an extra $350 for the baggage to complete the purchase. I complained about the unexpected extra payment, so you reduced it to $216. Still, you should have mentioned that this is a mandatory extra payment before I made the purchase.

Terrible Experience
April 28, 2025

I booked a flight from Arusha to Zanzibar, using Smartfares because their cheapest fares. A couple a minutes passed before I received a call from Smartfares, telling me that there was a mistake and I had to pay 62% in addition to the original price. There was not any other alternative, but paying that extracost, which was immediately charged by them to my credit card without my confirmation. It was a terrible experience, the first and the last one with Smartfares.

Updated review

I bought a ticket luggage included. Once I paid I ve been told " maybe there will be additional charges for luggage, please visit the website if the company" which I did. No informations about this. At the airport, I had to pay 100 dollars. Never ever again.
