SmartFares Reviews Summary

SmartFares presents a mixed reputation among its customers. 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.

Quick response and solution
December 1, 2022

Good booking interface. Some small interface errors are present: the screen is twitching when clicking on the option, thus making the bad chance to select the wrong option.
Also I would suggest to use some default options (which should assume not selecting additional services leading to additional fees).
Regarding experience with the customer support service: very quick solution via chat! That's really amazing, However, not all my questions have been answered

Confusing
December 30, 2022

A bit messy. At a point I called the assistance number tl ask about the luggage conditions of the ticket I was about to purchase, but the operator never answered my question and insisted on closing the deal over the phone with a rate that was literally US 100 more expensive from the deal I was getting on the site. It was quite frustrating.

The final price i paid for economy flight is 10% higher than the price i was booking. They made me wait for 9 hours after getting my credit card details and finally at the end of the day booked tickets for higher rate. Then again informed me there is no carry on and no checked in baggage allowed at the price. Again i paid 5% extra and purchased luggage.
They are not less and economic. They are just hiding all charges.

QUITE SIMPLE AND NICE, however, the fares quoted online were different to the actual fares and I had to call to secure the online booking since there was a delay in applying the charges to my card.

It would have been a 5
December 29, 2022

It would have been a 5 until 30 minutes after I got my booking confirmation, could see my information on Finnair and I get a sketchy call from someone stating that I bought mine too cheap and they had to charge me more!
This made me very uncomfortable! You claim to offer real time pricing but then I was told that they didn't accept the price. If that is the case, you should compensate. I followed my part and was unpleasantly surprised by this sketchy encounter.
Very unlikely to use this company again!

Frequent Cancellation
December 29, 2022

We booked, paid and after few days we checked for the confirmation. Since we did not received one we got in touch with you and you mentioned our payment had declined which was not correct.
You further asked me to rebook at increased rates which is not acceptable at all.
