Prices
December 25, 2024

I had to pay 200 dollars extra, original price was not there. Plus I had to be on a phone call more than 20 min, Im calling from overseas which means extra cost.

After buying the flights we got an email saying they aren't booked yet and we had to phone up. We did this and the customer service assistant was telling us things that conflicted the email. He said those flights aren't available anymore and we'll have to pay £250 more per person. We asked to cancel and he said there would be a fee to cancel.

But after a few days the money just went back into our account, as the email said. We got no confirmation that they flights were cancelled, or any further communication from them.

Hoping it is sorted now but would never book with them again. Very stressful experience as it was a lot of money. We will book flights with a different provider now.

Updated review

It us a popular website, but not all data is published before purchase. E.g., cost if additional luggage.

Date of experience: December 11, 2024

Be careful about hidden cost as baggage. It is exposed only after the reservation is complete.

Daylight robbery
December 19, 2024

Purchased tickets with no tickets had to wait days for my refund. They keep trying to bump prices so you pay a premium. Even the price you see is not what you pay it's false advertising
