I watched the online advertised price for a trip from Australia to Europe go up and down over a week, then purchased 4 tickets online using a credit card when the price was at a low. When the USA office opened (later that day in Australia) I was telephoned and told that the advertised price for the selected tickets could not be honoured, and that the 4 tickets would cost thousands of $ more. The representative sounded like he was doing his best, but in my opinion if a company advertises a "live" price online then it should be honoured without resorting to explanations of "price fluctuations". In the end I had to send screen shots of a higher price advertised later the same day, and pay this amount to secure the tickets, which (luckily) were still for us a better deal than any other offer advertised at the time.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be when the price changes unexpectedly, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Fares are dynamic and can fluctuate based on factors such as availability and demand. While we strive to offer competitive prices, these changes can sometimes happen quickly. We appreciate your understanding and are glad that you were still able to secure a better deal.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at customerservice@smartfares.com. We'll be happy to help!

Regards,

Not happy at all
January 31, 2025

No information about luggage. The price displayed online was consistent until the payment process. However, after receiving the payment confirmation, I was charged a higher amount than the one initially presented online. I chose your platform solely because it appeared to offer a cheaper price, but in the end, we ended up paying the same as the official Turkish Airlines website price. I have screenshots of all these discrepancies."

Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're truly sorry to hear about your concerns. We want to address the issues you've raised to ensure your experience is understood.

Firstly, please be assured that checked-in baggage of 30 Kgs per person is included in the ticket cost. We hope this helps clarify any confusion regarding baggage.

Regarding the price discrepancy, we have reviewed your case and can confirm that the amount charged was exactly as agreed upon during the booking process. It's important to note that when you select a currency other than USD, it is to provide you with an equivalent fare for your chosen currency. However, the total trip cost in USD is clearly stated on the final booking page, right above the 'BOOK' button, allowing you to confirm the total amount before proceeding.

The currency conversion is handled by your credit card issuing bank, so we recommend verifying the details of the conversion with them for full clarity on the final amount charged.

We sincerely appreciate your feedback, and we hope this explanation helps resolve any confusion. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at customerservice@smartfares.com.

Regards,
Team Smartfares

Got 2 flights and was directed to make sure each available. Caused me a bit of concern, but both available. 3rd leg was a pain thru Jetblue, so I booked independently via Alaska air.

Fake prices
January 30, 2025

I got charged 100% of the cost of the flight and turned out that the flight was not available at that price. In return, I still haven't got my money back. This is fraudulent behavior.
