Deception
February 5, 2025

Deception, they sell you one thing and in the end they want to charge double and if you call they tell you that you have to be flexible

Ease of use
February 5, 2025

Smart fares offers an intuitive interface, quick search results, and useful filters for dates, prices, airlines, and stopovers. Its price-tracking feature and calendar view make finding the best deals simple. Perfect for both novice and frequent travelers.

Totally unprofessional
February 5, 2025

The fee requested was put on hold and the agent tried to increase the price by 20%, this site is a sham and this type of behaviour should result in the banning of smart fares

Needless to say, that was the first and last time that I used Smartfares

Unrelaible Agent
February 4, 2025

I booked a flight ticket to Tashkent and already paid therefor, when I received a message from SmartFares that the price was increased by nearly US$200.
After I complained, they "agreed" to reduce it, but still higher than the official price of the airline itself (where I finally bought the ticket).
I am still waiting for the refund of the payment made to SmartFares.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your booking process.

When we attempted to confirm your reservation, the fare you originally saw was no longer available due to changes in the airline's pricing. While we did our best to adjust the fare for you, we understand this situation was frustrating. Regarding the refund, we’d like to clarify that when a transaction is cancelled, the original authorization typically disappears from your statement within 24-48 hours. However, please note that some banks may not immediately process these updates, which can cause a delay.

If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to our customer service team at customerservice@smartfares.com.

Regards,
Team Smartfares

Terrible service
February 4, 2025

I had to back out from my return flight purchases that somehow still went through. I don't understand how my trip for the original flight got lost. Then for me to write to customer service email to be told the email is lost or can't be sent. Now I have to spend extra money a new ticket due to this 'service' just so my already purchased event tickets and fly back tickets don't go to waste!

Prices increased in a few seconds after checkout & this had nothing to do with Rand Dollar fluctuations.
