Hello Friends,

This website is not the one you should ever be visiting. You can see many reviews here itself. They sell you tickets and don't even mention if tickets are refundable/changeable. Not just that they book your tickets through places where you need visa and they don't inform you.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS WEBSITE. You might end up paying much more as I did.

CustomerService C. – CheapOair.ca Rep

Our website does advise in our terms and conditions that tickets are non refundable, and at times may not be changed. It was also displayed on the customer's confirmation page highlighted that your ticket is non refundable, and also displayed were 3 links to check for visa/passport requirements, which the customer over looked. For it takes you directly to a website that you input your citizenship, and type of passport your are holding and will advise what is needed for travel. Our apologies for the inconvenience he experienced, but we do provide all of the information he needed.

Hello Guys,

This Cheapoair is a fraud and cheater online air ticket selling company. I booked my ticket with this website and I was not allowed to board the flight from Delhi to Montreal with two layovers Franfurt and Paris respectively. They have some inside pct with airlines and they dont provide you full information in the valid right tickets to travel. When contacted their customer service they finished chat intermittently (chat shows at the bottom)

My PNR for the ticket was 3ACT6M. This is just to inform you that I am a valid customer who got cheated by this company. I would suggest you spend some more money for your flight but stay away from this website.

I had discussion with Lufthansa and they told me that cheapoair has done wrong by not informing about the facts for travel. (documents). Being a lay man, we can only understand as much as we have been told but these people are looting us by using this weakness of ours.
