En la pagina de Kayak decía un precio y al comprar me dicen que mi tarjeta no está autorizada a esa compra, lo cual era falso. Me imponen un nuevo precio de u$s 550 arriba y sino, le van a cobrar un punitorio de u$s 350. Después se discutir más se 1h con alguien que habla muy mal en español, tuve que resignarme a aceptar el pasaje u$s 400 por encima de lo que informa. Me atendió telefónicamente un tal Raquitik y mi caso está bajo el número de expedición 1055.
Ya lo puse en redes lo sucedido. Son unos estafadores. Nunca más con uds.

The service was easy peasy!

The only annoying part of these service is providing this feedback which had to be more than 50 characters otherwise you will send pestering emails.

Using smart fares was a disaster
March 22, 2025

I tried booking my airline tickets via smart fares. The process was simple but when it came to making payment it was a disaster. The fares quotes on the web page were wrong and payment could not be made. The call Centre was trying to be helpful but could not assist.

Booking process is fine
March 22, 2025

Everything is fine except the final price is about 5% higher probability due to credit card fees.

Very bad service
March 21, 2025

I first booked two flight for me and my wife, my booking was confirmed and her booking was not confirmed. When we called smart fares they told me that I need to pay an extra +200dollar to confrim my wife flight and when I asked what's the reason for that I was told that My wife option had two bags and my option was for one bag but we had the exact same option when we book the flight. I am very disappointed because the agent made me cancel my flight.Then when i checked i could see there were two bags allocated for my flight and not two bags. I also haven't also received my refund for the flight yet.

I would love to get a call from smart fare and get my full refund for my fight as ot was not my fault.

Scammy Company Trying to Gouge
March 20, 2025

I bought a ticket for $1k two months ahead of flying. But the agent called me it's now $1.3k, then it went up to $1.7k "because tickets were being sold out". Finally I just bought off Kayak (for $1k) using a competitor and cancelled the "SmartFlyer" scam.

I tried to book flights for 5 people. I did not receive a booking confirmation. I tried calling Customer Services but the number was not available since my booking until now. No response or support via email either. My flight option is no longer available and therefore I don't know what option is available to me but don't know how to contact SmartFares.

Dear Customer,

Greetings from Smartfares!

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent experience with us. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you encountered and would like to address your concerns.

Please note that our fares are dynamic and subject to change based on availability and demand. Upon reviewing your case, we found that your booking could not be processed due to a credit card decline. Additionally, one of our representatives attempted to contact you multiple times without success. Unfortunately, because we did not receive a response, and due to the dynamic nature of airfare pricing, the fare changed, and the booking was subsequently canceled.

If there is anything further we can do to assist you with a new reservation or if you have any additional concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly at customerservice@smartfares.com.

We appreciate your understanding.

Sincerely,

Team SmartFares

NO contact whatsoever
March 19, 2025

I received a message my payment was not accepted. When I wanted to contact the helpdesk, I wasn't able to get anyone on the line.
When I send an email, I kept getting a return message my mail could not reach the helpdesk.

Up until today, I have no idea if my order was cancelled or not, and I have no option to contact the services.

Please let me know the current state of my order (Order ID: BLZTK8).
And if it's not cancelled already, please cancel it immediately.
