Little upset
December 24, 2025
Updated review

Not happy because I bought my flight and didn't got my confirmation mail. When you answered the person by the phone said I must pay more to change my name and surname. I answered I needed a little time to look for ma card. I called and they said that I needed to pay 100USD more. Impossible to change flight or do something to ovoid it.

So one simple call to confirm my booking was to pay more of ½ of price more. This cannot happen. The people who were bythe phone was absolutely correct 👍🏻, but I think they could do something to make pay more money.

Avoid it!
December 23, 2025
Updated review

I booked a ticket for 175 dollars and I was hit with an additional 145 dollars on account of supposed dynamic pricing, which was not true. I checked and the ticket became more expensive but by maybe 55 dollars, not 145.
But they cancelled it as soon as I didn't agree so hopefully I'll get back the initial payment.
Advice: Pay 5 dollars more but use an established agent.

Have hidden cost
December 22, 2025

My final booking price is higher than my original price due to I ask to correct 1 of the passenger name within 1 hour, there is no option to ask if the information is correct. The helpdesk is very helpful however, he claimed that 2 out of my 4 tickets have already issued by the airlines but the others 2 are pending unless I have to pay extra 500 euro for the price difference and at the same time to correct the name. I have no choice but to pay that otherwise I will loose the taxes for the issued air ticket which is higher than the price. This is the first time I am using this service, because in other website, if the price change, my booking will not be successful and I can search for other dates.

Your constant emails asking me to confirm that I receive confirmation only to fill out this feedback form are unnecessary and spammy. Please stop sending feedback emails. I have my confirmation

So long as I receive my confirmation and itinerary, my rating will remain. I don't like that it says the ticket comes with 1 carry on and 2 checkins and when I tried to add a bag it cost $240. Confusing.
