CheapOAir is a scam! I booked a flight for my brother from the Philippines to Canada. The firsr few searches I made showed lower prices. But as soon as I confirm, the price jumps $1000+ higher. When I finally found one that didn't jump up, the flight to Canada and back to the Philippines had layovers in the US. There was no travel advisory that since it has a layover to the US for 2 hours, they would need to acquire C type transit visa. Needless to say my brother and sister in law were told by the airlines that they will not be allowed to board without the transit visas. Our mother paid $2980+. And as a gesture of their sincere apology, they were giving us $50 to use for next booking. They don't want to cancel the flight or change the flight. My sister on law talked to the airlines and were told to talk to CheapOAir to help us get the flight changed so they didn't need to have layovers to the US. But they can only offer us $50. Lots of videos and complaints on Facebook about people being scammed by this company!
