They confirmed the booking, then wrote back to ask for the same credit card and ID details that had been entered securely online. When I asked politely whether this was standard procedure and whether this was possibly a scam, they gave me one hour to confirm my details via a print & scan form. As I was not at work, this could not be done in the timeframe specified. They then tried calling me three times at midnight. When I called back they said they could offer me a new far, 50% more than the originally quoted fare. I declined and booked elsewhere. Terrible, inefficient, unsatisfying way to run a business.

Worst experience!
December 5, 2016

This is the worst travel agency ever in my life. They haven't refunded my money even after cancelling my booking and committing a refund. Its been 1 year and still they are coming up with lame excuses. Never deal with their manager, Daisy. She is just a plain faced liar.

This company sucks, their customer service and supervisors have no idea what they are doing. They are literally there to snatch money from customers and later refuse to assist them with anything. Save your selves

Dear Mariyum,
Regret to hear on your overall experience with our customer service and supervisors. After cross checking the case details it was found that you were catered to all the information of your refund which was made by the Airline on your card. Post your conversation with the supervisors a proof of record has been sent on your email address which we have received from the Airline confirming your refund was processed on the card used at the time of purchase. Kindly go through the enclosed document and share it with your bank for an update. Feel free to drop us an email at fares@faregeek.com

Poor
May 5, 2017

I buy the ticket and then they still haven't reduce the money from my bank account. I can't check my booking in the flight website. I call them for long time but no response and they didn't reply my email as well. Poor! Please don't book flights on this website

Thieves?
June 14, 2018

Sent to this site from momondo.com where 2 international tickets were booked and confirmed about 30 hours ago. Til now there are NO TICKETS. They have said, give us another 24 hours! These are legs of an international flight. They were able to ticket and charge one leg, but the trip is worthless without the otther leg. This is after calling them of and on for the last 12 hours. I don't know why they operate like this, confirm booking, but do not issue ticket. STAY AWAY!

We bought tickets from them and then we had to cancel due to death. They confirmed a per refund. They were terrible. After over three months, they still have not returned the money. They still kept the money.

The agents are very unhelpful and completely useless. The complaint department does not reply at all. They are nightmare. No one should buy from them.

I bought a business class flight only through this company but when I arrived at the airport I was told the ticket was only valid with a cruise voucher. There was no mention of this on my booking. According to Air France, this is a common ploy used by dishonest agents. Air France obliges them to sell these discount tickets only as part of a package but the agent then mis-sells them to customers. I spent all day on the phone trying to rebook a ticket but Faregeek refused to help. I was forced to purchase a last minute premium economy ticket (still more expensive than the original business class ticket) for the next day and claim the difference from Faregeek (who look unlikely even to refund me). Totally dishonest. Don't use this company.

Hello, I booked a round-trip ticket from London to Albuquerque this morning. I received two emails from Faregeek: One that states a flight reservation number and another that states an airline confirmation number and then a different flight reservation number. Although I received these two emails, it seems I'm still waiting for my e-tickets. Please advise. Thank you!

The website advertised a certain price and the confirmation I received after making the booking matches this price; however, after checking my bank account, I realised I was charged more than this. I've never had this happen to me when making a booking. Please advise.

Booked a ticket costing £715 but was actually charged
£1200 plus. UK based daughter was advised nothing could be done. I called US number and was told the price charged was correct. The ticket was cancelled and I was told by Harold Travis it would be refunded. Time will tell...

They are Rude and not able to book your flights. Totally lost of time. Additionally they will ask you more money than what you see on the initial reservation, just because they were not able to secure it...

DONT USE THEM!

I had to cancel a flight through illness and told them immediately. Even though the flight was made up of £400 in taxes with Lufthansa from LHR to DFW via Frankfurt - they offered me a £68 refund only which they said I would be paid within 10-12 weeks. I emailed them today only to be told I didnt send them an email to say I accept this offer. Absolutely poppycock. Dont book with them is my advice".

Booked a first class combination business class ticket to Vietnam and their lying salesman Roderick said my e-ticket would be sent in 2 hrs. I e-mailed and finally received my e-ticket 5 days later! I called the airline about 5 days later to see if I could reserve a certain first class seat number and the airline told me that they don't have a first class, only business class and I gave them my e-ticket number and he said that was for premium economy? I did not respond directly to them, but called my credit card company and let them call them and be on a 3 way conversation. They tried to say I owed them 200 dollars to cancel the ticket and then called again and said I should share the cost of the cancelation? I filed a dispute with my credit card last week and they have already re-credited my account. Buyer beware!

I've heard of some people where everything goes perfectly. If you are willing to take the risk, go ahead, but personally I will never order through FareGeek again, probably reduced my life on this planet by stressing so much about it! Ticket wasn't sent when ticket was booked and was told to fill out a credit card authorization form. Never heard of such a thing! They called that they couldn't issue the ticket (even though they had all credit card info they needed for it) wanted details that they wouldn't need, very weird. Therefore tried to cancel ticket and guy got very defensive and rude. Luckily we were finally able to cancel the ticket without any charge.

HORRIBLE COMPANY
February 25, 2015

I booked my flight on Saturday, February 21 and got an immediate confirmation stating my flight was confirmed. After 10 mins, I get a follow up email stating there was a credit card mismatch. I tried calling them several times for the next 48 hours, waiting from 30 minutes to 1 hr and still could not get a hold of a customer service representative. Someone finally emails me stating the flight increased from $765 to $815. I told them that I will only authorize a payment with the original booking price and I haven't heard from them yet.

Booked a flight from Ottawa to Orlando for our son then next day he received email saying the flight had been cancelled while attending university. Called home saying why did you cancel my flight and told we didn't.My wife booked another flight directly with airline as FareGeek had cancelled flight on own. Ten months later no refund after speaking with 5 different representatives all claiming that it was being taken care of. Given similar story that supervisors on another call or in meetings when asked to speak to someone in charge.
Credit card company would not help us as they insisted that we could not prove who cancelled the ticket.

The WORST company ever
January 15, 2015

The WORST company ever. NEVER EVER book through them, they are fraudulent and full of crockery! The "customer service" representative are extremely rude and nasty. I was yelled at by 2 agents "Jason" and "Xavier" who both refused to let me speak to a manager. Xavier ended up hanging up on me! Be ready for very thick Indian accents and highly unprofessional behavior. Please don't make the mistake me (and apparently from all these negative reviews) and many others made, do not use their services for any reason! Trust me you are better off paying a little more!

Faregeek are thieves. I booked out of LAX British air. Received a phone call saying it would be an american airline flight. They completely misrepresented. I cancelled and got charged $175 for cancellation which I was never told about got into a huge argument with someone named "falcon" and he said there are no supervisors. I will keep trying to get my money back or small claims court but beware. It was off of Momondo.

Cheap airfare deals
November 24, 2015

International air tickets are generally costly, so when you have a site like this it becomes fairly easy for you to travel. I have used their services numerous times and every time I was blessed with cheap airfare deals.

DO NOT USE FAREGEEK

Dealing with this company was the WORST.
I'm usually really polite and calm with customer service representatives... but these arrogant, rude, unhelpful people had my blood bowling.

Avoid them, trust me on this.
