I had problems with my credit card in the payment because of a limit in the first payment that I solved with my bank executive. Then a smartfares agent tried to do the payment but the flight I have reserved was complete so they offered me another flight more expensive. We were in a 1 hour phone call when it was not necessary to be all the time in the call. Then the smartfares agent told me that the new resevation was also unavailable so he offered me another more expensive flight (US$600 more than the first one). The agent told me that I could not cancel the reservation so the only option was to get the more expensive reservation.

I didn't have a good experience with the agency because I purchased the ticket, and shortly after, they sent an email saying they had an issue completing the purchase. After spending 30 minutes on the phone, the purchase was finally completed using the same card, but I was charged $50 more because, according to the company, the price had changed. A few hours later, there was a $1,000 purchase attempt on my card under the company's name.

Very dissapointed of your service
March 31, 2025

I already got my reservation code and I had to talk with a lady. Because she told me that the price of my reservation changed.
First she wanted to charge me 300 usd more and after many situations she charged me 80 usd.
This is not acceptable. I already had my booking reservation payed. Originally was 900 usd at the end was 1020 usd.

I paid a change of name fee, told them the name I wanted on their, they put the name in wrong, then refused to change it again because of their mistake. Then they called to add protection on the trip & not to resolve the issue that they had created. Qorst customer experience of my life. If they will respond to my call & fix this issue then perhaps I will take this back. But for now. It stays
