SmartFares Reviews Summary

On the positive side, many users appreciate the affordability and efficiency of the booking process, noting that customer service representatives can be helpful and responsive when issues arise.

Overall, while some customers report satisfactory experiences, a notable number express dissatisfaction with pricing transparency and support, indicating room for improvement in communication and service consistency.

Select seat
December 9, 2024

Just book a flight to the island and there's been different kinds of numbers calling to select a seat over the phone and also the price it's way more than it's say on your ticket.
Is it a legit website?

Ticketing went well
December 8, 2024

At first when I went to the airline website (to order vegetarian meal) I could not find a record and it would not accept my ticket number SmartFares gave me. It was missing the first 3 digitt identifying the airline. When that was added, Airline found the reservation and all is good.

HOPELESS- dont buy ticket from this site!
December 7, 2024
Updated review

I found their website easy to buy the advertised ticket... only to be told later that the ticket wasnt available!
Theyre selling cheap tickets that they can not provide, then offer you another fair for $600 per person more!

You need to fix the instant emailing
December 7, 2024

The second I paid for my flight it got rejected and I was asked to call you on the phone. I had a really bad day wondering if I had just lost my money to a scam website.
The customer support was good. However the problem lied under them not giving me any certainty until after 5pm when I reached out through the website chat and Karson sent me a HANDWRITTEN email with my confirmation that I could check in with Iberia.

A simple email with your website letterhead would have sufficed to make me feel calm.

Send your customers a frigging company email with the information about their flight whether it is confirmed or not and once they "secure" the reservation as they assured me over and over again on the phone, SEND A FRICKING EMAIL TO CONFIRM AND KEEP THE PASSENGER AT EASE!

I felt I was being robbed until I got the ticket. Do not FRIGGING do this again.

Not happy
December 7, 2024

All the information was showing that I'm booking in my location not knowing that this is American website, after the payment shows I'm paying in my local currency and on of a sudden the payment add multiple charges and when I called the local number provided they said is a site from US. Ticket was R19,040 and I was charged R*******?

Unfortunately, after I completed the ticket order (Link via Booking website), and received an order number, I received a message that the order was not completed and that the company should be contacted.
After contacting them, they said that the prices had definitely increased and that they would have to pay an additional fee.
Due to lack of experience and a desire to finish the process, we finally agreed (note that the agent, after talking to a manager, slightly reduced the additional fee). At the end, they said that within 3 hours we would receive the order and flight tickets... This was on 22.11.224 and until today, 26.11.14, we are waiting for the order confirmation and contact them almost every day to find out what is happening and they said that it is still in the process.
Very unfortunate and regrettable.
