Change Air Travel dates due to Cruise booking being canceled. I was able to reach a very helpful person -- and we eventually got the airline ticket dates changed. The SAD part is I felt a bit "jabbed" in that I was charged an additional $376 to do so. You would think in this time of need -- that this would simply be an even swap of dates -- no "extra charges". The airline was DELTA/KLM. I just don't understand it.

Updated on 04/14/2020: This company is ripping people off during a national pandemic. Even though airlines offer full refunds CheapOair does not honor this. I wanted refund of $1360 and they emailed vouchers for $900 only!! And voucher is only good for 6 month. Once you book with this company you are on your own.
Original: Been trying to cancel our flights to Cancun online since there is no phone or chat service. Will never book with them again!! An industry like this can easily have agents work from home. At least acknowledge!! But they will keep your money and say you didn’t cancel on time. Just wait and see.

I've been trying to contact someone and get help with my flight issue. I've sent emails and waited on hold for hours. I've explained that I have insurance and I need to cancel this booking due to the virus closing all of our destinations. I've received no response and the only response to an email I sent last night was to wake up to another 70. Charge to my card. So I asked for help and expressed my need for a refund and their response was to charge more money for a flight I cant use. Thieves!!!! How can you treat people like this during a pandemic?! Charging fees because of something out of my control is dirty business. Obviously the insurance was a scam as well.

I booked a flights thru Cheapo Air for flights from Koh Samui Thailand to Hanoi Vietnam and then back to Bangkok Thailand for $780.60. Because of the Coronavirus I tried to cancel these flights because we had to go home early. I tried to call Cheapo Air before the date and I have tried many times since and I have never gotten to speak with anyone. Today I got an email saying they have given me a credit for $704.70 on Vietnam Airlines that I have to use by the end of the year and then they charged another $70.00 on my credit card with no authorization from me. This vacation was planned for a year and was kind of a once in a lifetime trip celebrating my retirement. I will probably not be going anywhere on Vietnam Airlines again in my life so now I am not only out the $780.60 but now they are stealing another $70.00 from me. Cheapo Air are thieves!

This company has no excuse for having no contact center in this time. I bought a round trip for my family from CheapOair and our flight was done on Feb. 21th. My return flight was cancelled with Turkish Airlines (back to Canada for March 9th). Several days and several times I tried to call CheapoAir but, it was disaster. We booked a new airline to come back to Canada. During this 2 weeks of our trip, I called several times and each time I waited more than 2 hours but they didn't do anything for me and my family. They indicated that they could not me refund because the first portion to Tehran was used, the only option that they suggested was cancel the return flight and buy a new ticket with a new price and I have to pay about 5300 CAD more!!!.
Also during this time, I sent a lots of email to CheapoAir, which still hasn't been answered. What irritated me the most is when I got in touch with Turkish airlines, they indicated that only CheapoAir could cancel the flight and in fact, even though I used the first portion, they should found me a new return flight without any charging! I checked with Turkish Airlines office. They confirmed that the CheapoAir should be prepare a new ticket for me without any charging.
The agent with Turkish airlines assured me he wished he could help me but because it's CheapoAir have to do the refund, and they assured me the policy was to refund. So there you go. It is scammer, You book with them, they will do everything to blame the airline but really it's them! Of course when I called back their contact centre is conveniently down which means a lot of us probably are not getting our money back, I've filled out the form and even emailed them, no response. I feel stiffed and feel I have little options. I'm warning everyone. The cheap prices are not worth the hassle from these scam artists. I will be filing a complaint with consumer affairs Canada, and BBB. You guys are crooked.

Took countless attempts and several hours to finally get someone on chat and after two hours of them waiting and checking I got disconnected. The phone numbers they provided are useless as there is only message prompting to fill out form online. All my flights got cancelled by the airlines flying from USA to India and Nepal, all airlines had the refund indicated in their communications, yet CheapOair is not giving me refund. Last rep I dealt with was a joke, asked for a booking, then went into MIA for about 15 minutes, then asked for a name, then for a phone two hours later I got disconnected from chat with no info on anything, what a waste of time. Shame on CheapOair, feels like they are just pretending to help, while just wasting the time.

I booked a trip to San Diego with this company. Because of the Covid19, I had to cancel. I have reached out to them via email and phone. They have not tried to call or email me. All other companies have provided complete refunds because of the situation. This company did not. I even bought trip insurance, but still no refund. I usually go thru the airline for bookings, but thought I'd give this a try. This is the one and only time I'll use this one. Don't book with this company! Buyer beware!

I purchased travel protection and my state and the state the airport I am traveling out of is in lockdown. The state I am flying into is in two week quarantine once you arrive. I would miss my flight coming home even if I could get there. I was told they were not covering anything for coronavirus. I paid for coverage and how can I get to my flight when you can’t cross state lines. I understand that this is unprecedented but this is a ripoff and I will never use this company again. The credit does me no good when I have to use it by 12/30/20. I cannot go this year now because we had to use our vacation to cover the time we were pulled out of work.
We have to go next year now. They won’t extend to then. Horrible company. Horrible customer service. This is a government mandated shut down. The mayors are shutting states down not by my choice. This company that I paid good money for is taking advantage and using loopholes to rip people off. Even though they will get a bailout. Not right and I hope other people come on with there stories so something can be done. I saved for two years for this trip all to be washed down the drain.

I recently bought an airline ticket through CheapOair with the 24 hour cancellation option. They promise to send an email with instructions how to cancel. Immediately after I made the reservation I tried to cancel. (The payment for the ticket went immediately out of my account). However, I never received the email with instructions how to cancel. I tried to call them several times but there was no answer. I then tried to cancel by following the link on their website and also tried to contact them via online chat, all to no avail. A day later after several failed attempts to call them and after waiting 3.5 hours to chat with CheapOair's online support team, they informed me that the ticket is non-refundable because I did not cancel within 24 hour. Very disappointing!
Original Review: March 29, 2020
CheapOair are thieves, they sell you insurance in case something happens to the flight due to “airline issues” but they don’t honor the payment or even answer so you can reschedule. And when they finally do, your trip is already passed, then they make it seem it is your fault for not making the changes. I have been trying to connect for over three weeks because I found out the country I was visiting had closed the airports due to the corona virus quarantine. I bought my tickets at a price of $1447 on 3/2/20 then on 3/4/20 after I found out the country was not letting any tourist in I decided to contact customer support. It started with a call that lasted 4 hours where the operator kept putting me on hold or directing me to a different number where no one ever picked up the phone. Finally the call would hung itself after no response was given.
I understand the whole issue with the Corona virus but I requested to cancel or change the date of my flight since March 3rd in the self service. Finally on 3/16/20 I was able to speak to an operator, he told me his name was Sam. No ID or badge number or last name, just Sam, he told me I was still on time to make a change to my flight because it was in the 72 hour period. He offered me to reschedule my flight, the only thing I had to do was pay $1100 more, I had already paid $1447 for two tickets including the travel insurance. So at this point I feel like I have been robbed, no way to get a refund or even a portion of the money I paid, my itinerary was San Francisco-Houston and then Houston-San Salvador on 3/19/20. The flight from San Francisco to Houston left but the Houston-San Salvador was cancelled by the airline.
Since then I was not able to communicate with no one at cheapoair, they have all these phone numbers where you need to call but no one answer. The chat option does not work, and they take 5 to 7 days to answer. Why do they offer to sell you insurance if they don’t honor it? Like I say I feel like I have been robbed, the airlines and travel companies are going to be bailed out by the government. Why do they need to steal our money too, in this case the saying buying cheap is more expensive applies, I just would like to speak with an actual person when discussing this matter.
Please provide the 8 digit booking number.

My son and family was trying to get off of an island in the Philippines during Covid 19. We booked a flight with CheapOair on the only day that the ferry was supposed to travel to the other island Cebu where the airport was at. CheapOair took our money, charged our credit card and sent us tickets pending. I couldn't get through on the telephone to see why tickets said pending and stayed on hold for 11 straight hours. One day and 6 hours at a time. 4 times over the next few days. They said to check flight 72 hours before leaving. They never sent us an email that our tickets were being processed. They were never processed by the airlines.
When I finally got them on the line they said the flight was canceled. This wasn't true. We called the airlines. They said it was running. When I told CheapOair this they said it was booked solid and we weren't on it. But they still charged me for the 2 tickets. They never sent correspondence of anything saying any different. That left my son and his family stranded. Thank the good Lord the US embassy saved them by providing a ferry for stranded people the next day. Had to buy tickets for another flight for the next day. Now CheapOair won't answer their phones or talk to me about a refund. I called the airline and they said they would give me a refund if CheapOair would process it. Not getting my hopes up. Back on hold trying to get ahold of them about refund status three more days trying their phone lines no longer working for some strange reason but they will sell you a ticket still.

We were emailed on March 5th to advise that there'd been a scheduled change to our flights to Sweden on March 26th. So we tried calling (actually on-and-off over several days) but there was no reply or even any indication of when the call might get answered. I resorted to Live-Chat and the first time I was 67th in the queue but resolved to hang-on until I was next. It was 3 hours of waiting and eventually I was responded to. Everything seemed to be progressing well and I was on Live Chat for 45' when suddenly the screen changed and I was back in a queue!
So I queued again, this time I was 82nd and when I was finally answered, it was 2am UK-time. I was making similar progress, a refund as agreed but now the lady wanted to call Brussels Airline to arrange the refund (having already established there was no other flight arrangement that could get me to Sweden on the same day we had an event to go to). She couldn't help me anymore she said. Nothing she could do. I'd have to call back and try again. Luckily I have screen shots of the conversation because I knew she didn't want to help anymore. I had been trying to resolve this matter for 8 hours since I'd gotten the email. What else do we have to do?
Even their latest email (27/3) advises us to call the airline to arrange a refund - popping the ball to someone else. I think they are hoping to keep lots of the money we have paid without providing a service. Covid-19 is tough for companies, but what about the individuals, the ones with real money concerns and who can actually catch the virus or suffer indirectly? I just want to get a form I can relate to my European flight which was cancelled and get a refund.

We apologize for the delay in responding . Due to the current Corona virus outbreak all of our contacts are experiencing increased hold times. Once hold capacity is reached it can no longer accept calls. Please check the airline website for all upto dates regarding flight status. If your reservation has not been canceled, than normal refund practices will be followed.

CheapOair booking **. We, a family of 4, booked a flight with cheapoair on March 22nd, and our flight was scheduled for March 25th. As we approach the departure time, I keep emailing, calling and chatting online with their customer service to issue our E tickets. After sending over 50 emails, and spending 13 hours waiting on call and online chat, we missed our flight because Cheapoair failed to issue our E tickets in time. They did not even respond us. With the COVID 19 pandemic, we were really desperate to get back home in Canada from Manila, and cheapoair gave us tremendous stress and caused over 4000CAD in damage. We will follow them legally. I strongly discourage you from working with this company. Cheapoair's CEO must be ashamed of this.

What irritated me the most is when I got in touch with philippine airlines they indicated that only cheapoair could cancel the flight and in fact even though I used the first portion I could still get a refund as the flight was cancelled.

I am appalled that Cheapo Air has the time to continue to advertise for flights that should not be taken during the Covid-19 crisis, but is somehow unable to respond to concerns of their customers. They have shut down their phone lines, don’t respond to email, and expect to collect a cancellation fee above and beyond the airline fee if cancellation is requested on their website. Incidentally, they charge for seat reservations that are free if you contact the airline independently. Horrible company! Avoid!!

BEWARE... BEWARE.. BEWARE.... I booked a round trip flight through CheapOair on 1/22/20 (booking **) leaving 3/9/20 & returning on 3/31/20. From DFW to LHR on 3/9/20 & returning 3/31/20 via LHR & CDG to DFW. Flights were with Iberia & British Airways. With the outbreak of the COVID-19, many restrictions have taken place. My son-in-law is military and has been restricted to travel, especially to large cities like London. I’m 61 years old with autoimmune disorders & traveling with my 77 year old mother. (Recovering from a cold) Therefore, we decided it wouldn’t be a good idea for us to travel during this epidemic.
I called CheapOair on 3/6/20 to either cancel or reschedule our flights. Spoke to a representative, Bryan, that informed me that I could not reschedule but I could cancel without reimbursement. I told him this was unacceptable since I purchased the Insurance ($97.90) & the Support Package Premium-Air ($25.90) and travel is very restricted, especially overseas. Asked to speak to a manager, he placed me on hold & came back to tell me he could offer me a refund today (3/6/20) of $718.00. Still unacceptable!!! The representative, Bryan then told me to call back 12 hours before my flight. They could then check to see if the airline was still flying to London or have cancelled their flights. I called back 3/9/20 at 9:50 am & spoke to Scott.
Again, Scott told me no refund & that the airline was still flying. I explained to him this was unacceptable due to the pandemic hitting our country!! And, asked to speak to a manager. He put me on hold and came back with a “worth” ticket of $1288.90 - $300.00 ($150.00 per ticket) cancellation fee. So, he could offer me a refund of $988.90. I was so frustrated that I agreed to the offer. The next day I got a message from my credit card company that CheapOair charged my card “another” $300.00 .. not authorized!!!
The $300.00 was supposed to come off the “worth” of my ticket. And then I got an e-mail that I would get a refund to my card for $988.90. So now they have charged me more money.. $300.00 and I haven’t seen a penny back. My initial cost on 1/22/20 was $1518.97. I was charged $29.90 for travel assist?? On 2/22/20 (in which I have no idea what that was for) & $300.00 on 3/9/20. Total to date this crooked company has charged me $1848.87!! This isn’t right!!! I want a full refund..$1848.87.... Crooked company... CheapOAir.. beware!!!!

Updated on 04/13/2020: After waiting countless hours in a message queue and refusing to leave I finally got hold of an agent and convinced them to agree to a refund. However, when I checked the details of the email it showed the amount in CAD instead of USD! After countless more hours waiting in a message queue I got them to admit their 'error' (sic) and send me a new email with the amended amount in USD. They claimed the refund would be processed in 1-2 billing cycles, but this has not happened. CheapOair is courting a class action lawsuit by using the coronavirus as an excuse to exploit vulnerable consumers.
Original review: Their agents gave me unusable credit (it turns out that the credit will expire before I will have the opportunity to use it) in lieu of a refund (booking **), and later admitted to giving me false information, effectively flushing my plans (and money) down the drain. Upon following up with them, they admitted their 'error' and claimed they would get a manager to review my situation and call me back in 48 hours - which has not, and evidently will not, happen. Even when you get in touch with them, they refer you to someone else who will 'contact you' in a few days - and that never happens. They are using coronavirus as an excuse to exploit consumers. It is time for this company to do the honorable thing and make amends to those who they have wronged.

After several weeks of attempting to contact the company, they contacted me in response to my reviews. After consultation with a supervisor, once my flights were canceled by the airline, the fees charged by CheapoAir were refunded in full. Just be aware that even if the cost of your travel is identical whether you book directly with the airline or with this broker, the CheapoAir booking cost includes a booking fee. Ordinarily, this fee will be difficult, if not impossible to recover. Caveat emptor. Let the buyer beware.

I know that this is a difficult time (March, 2020), but I have been patiently attempting to contact customer service to rectify what I believe to be is a mistake on the part of CheapOair by keeping money they are not entitled to after United Airlines credited my cancelled ticket to a future flight. They are not accepting phone calls and when I have joined the queue to chat with a customer service representative, I have been repeatedly disconnected after spending upwards of 5 hours waiting. There has to be a better way to service the accounts that need it. CheapoAir has provided CheapoService and CheapoSatisfaction!!!

They can’t handle the Coronavirus nor do they have a crisis line -or phone numbers and/or a public statement. Some of our group flying out of Boston JetBlue got cancelled. Airbnb in Iceland is also cancelled.
CheapOair is still putting out offers for new bookings!! And if you call that number —they transfer your call and the line goes dead again. So now what? “Someone says they will give a voucher good one year from the date of purchase....nonetheless... no one is able to get through.” We would like an outcome.

In light of the Coronavirus situation I realize it’s been a challenge. I tried and tried numerous times to email, call numerous times and numerous numbers and chat with a representative. I was never successful. I finally contacted the airline and was able to change my flight. I will give you a pass as I said because of the Coronavirus. But I don’t think I will ever book with you again. A couple of the numbers after being on hold for over an hour I was cut off and when I tried to call back they were no longer in service.

TLDR; I lost 2 trips, over $1,100 and A LOT of time dealing with their bad customer service. Gained a great headache. Not worth the "Cheap flights". This company irresponsible during this COVD-19 pandemic. From beginning to end this has been a horrible experience.
1. For some reason, when ever I login to CheapOair, it never shows my tickets on my account. If you sign in through Facebook, Google, email it makes a completely new account. So I can never sign in and I have to refer to emails.
2. I had to pay ~100 for 2 tickets for a name change, that was their fault.
3. This COVID-19 chaos. I understand how stressed they can be, and how difficult it is to manage so many people with high volume. But I waited in queue on chat for over 7 hours to be disconnected because I didn't add to the chat within a time frame. Their calls are always busy and I'm stressing because my flight is so soon! I have been in contact with someone with COVID-19 unfortunately and I am quarantined and when I asked for a refund (which I understand isn't part of their policy) even a credit for a later flight, they said no. They asked me to re-book (lol)? How do I know when this will blow over? So I asked for the same flights next year in which they said it has to be a flight by Dec 31, 2020.

With the Coronavirus outbreak I read in our newspaper that my flights to the UK with Air NZ, booked with CheapOair, were cancelled.

The NZ phone line cuts you off after an hour and you start again, I was on hold for 5 hours one afternoon and still didn’t speak to anyone. Customer Service is awful!
We apologize for the delay in responding . Due to the current Corona virus outbreak all of our contacts are experiencing increased hold times. Once hold capacity is reached it can no longer accept calls. Please check the airline website for all upto dates regarding flight status.

Booking my flight experience was awesome, because company is charging money for that, but once it comes to refunds (due to Covid-19), I have been put on hold for several hours, I can not do refunds via emails. Just calling is an option. Agents are available if you want to make a new booking but in case of refund or rescheduling, no one picks up the call. I even called them by choosing the option that I want to make a new booking, agents picked up my call but as I told them my issue, they transferred my call to an unknown department and then I kept on waiting... waiting... waiting. And after 1 hour 6 minutes phone automatically got disconnected stating, "That number you have dialed does not exist." How is this even possible as I already waited for more than an hour.

Using the tab to communicate with a rep (like texting) was even more frustrating. I started in a line where I was 1,734 in line. I waited for hours and got close to being 1000 in line when it disconnected. Stayed up literally all night with this format and never made contact. It was bad enough that I could not travel to see my elderly parents because of the outbreak. I am trying to do the right thing.

Back in December, I booked a flight for my senior citizen mother to visit us in April. Because of the risk and the closing of travel from Canada, I needed to cancel the flight. Over the course of 3 days... I tried to cancel online, the system told me to call a number. I called that number and all the others they had on their site (which change over time). 11 phone numbers total, numerous times each and most would pick up and disconnect. The 5 different times I got through, I waited on hold for just about an hour, to have the phone abruptly disconnect. One time after an hour and 2 minutes it rang and I got an operator message saying the number is no longer in service. That was after I listened to their advertising for the entire time.
I tried doing their live online messaging and started over 700th in line. I stood by (3 hours) got down to about 180th and it disconnected me. I did it again and this time got down into the 170's before it disconnected me. I am waiting on another tab as I write this. Frustrated does not even come close to what I feel! It is a $400.00 lesson. I will never use them to book another thing, EVER!!!!

Today when I logged in, I noticed that all my flight information was gone and the amount of 'points' I received had gone up (though this is not a flight credit, just so you are clear).

The company called me and explained everything. I appreciate their sorry for what happened with my two bookings (for me & my parents). Firstly, they have refunded/credited me all payments under their control but not the insurance because Philippine Airlines (PAL) is still in operation. The refunds include now the Agency Fees & Premium Support Package, though for Airline Ticket Cost (+Tax), PAL gave us credits (not money-back) and offered us 1 time Free rebooking/change of flights (under the same insurance coverage), we just need to pay for any price differences of the tickets (if higher) and keep the remainder for future travels. Secondly, they waived the cancellation fees $25 each person.

When you cancel your PAL flights due to COVID19 with CheapOair, they will NOT refund/credit back your payment to Taxes and Agency Fees!!!

The Draconian Bait and Switch. I recently booked two flights on CheapOair.

March 15, I was able to get ahold of PAL and I spoked to the agent named DOM and he said he already put a note in my booking to avail the one time free rebooking and this made me more calm.
March 16, I called Cheapoair back and was able to spoke with the agent named HEYWOOD, he said he couldn't find the note that DOM made in my booking so now, he still wants me to pay the rebooking fees and penalties. And I explained further that this isn't my fault that I can no longer travel because the travel bans in Canada was already imposed by the Prime Minister and even to the my travel destination. These travel agents and even the supervisor I spoke to from Cheapoair never made a resolution into my issue. The life of my daughter is at state here and my travel is very essential and still the agents and the supervisor never wanted to reconsider my free rebooking and cancellation.
Coronavirus is causing everything to stop any activities and operations globally and CheapOair never wanted me to rebook my ticket for free, never wanted me to cancel and get a refund.

If the airline changes your itinerary that's called an INVOLUNTARY change and the traveler is allowed to cancel without penalty/fee. Well, that was the plan so I called CheapOair and waited 1hr 44m for an agent to come on line. I was put on hold TWICE with 10m waits as he had to get his manager's approval. After all that and some arguing (they wanted to give me a partial refund) I was promised a FULL refund (less one dollar, which I wasn't about to argue over). I was told it could take TWO billing cycles for my refund to appear on my credit card! Well, when the credit DID appear it was for $32 (instead of $170, as promised).

I waited 25 days, much longer than 7 days. hearing nothing from them, so I waited another 2 hours to get connected with them again, and an agent told me they still didn't know how much to refund me, I just had to wait another 7 business days, and here I am, writing this review on March 12, because AGAIN, not hearing from them about anything about the refund. BTW, it was $1800 tickets. I've learned my lesson and won't visit Cheapoair another second. Please learn the lesson from my experience and DON'T buy from Cheapoair. Anywhere else is better than Cheapoair. The way they are handling customers is gonna make them lose all customers.

When we decided to travel to Tennesse, We of course searched for good priced air fare. One Travel had a good fare so I set up a trip with One Travel who switched us over to Cheap O Air. Upon doing so we purchased Insurance thinking that would cover if something unexpected came up. I learned Read the fine print. Not long after we set the trip up, came the Virus.
My husband is battling Cancer and is 80 years old. So we had to make a decision what to do. I spoke with my husband's Dr. and he strongly recommended we do not travel. Okay I tried numerous time through the day to reach One Travel. Phones were tied up and very long waiting periods. Finally I reached someone with Cheap O Air and she asked well when do you to go, Fall is a nice time, you can go for the holidays. Ummmmmmm, How do we know that with a global epidemic? So she put me on hold for about 1 hour. Then told me we are getting credit from the 2 airlines,and we need to use the airfare by the end of the year.
The airlines are waiving their rescheduling fees, And I know that the fees are diverted due to the situation as per government request. But Cheap O Air charged us $100.00 because we had to change. Why can you charge/! The situation is beyond our control! They should not charge and trying to get in touch with someone is a nightmare. So I'll Remember next time, you get what you pay for. They should have waived their charge. The Airlines did! Do not feel confident with this company.

I have been 6 days online trying to contact someone. They changed my flight and now I am unable to make my connection. I have been hung up on 6 times from customer service. I finally got to speak with someone. They stated I had to get permission from Oman Air to get full refund. I finally got a hold of Oman Air. They would not give me any reference number simply after having to fight with them, they said they would fully refund. I think they just wanted to get rid of me. It is impossible to contact them, not a problem if you want to spend money but they will not reimburse you. They are criminals.

I had to travel to San Diego from O'Hare on March 10th but the conference that I was scheduled to attend got canceled due to the Corona situation happening globally. The same reservation was used to redirect my booking as I intent to visit Austin in April. The amount I paid for the San Diego was approx. $178 but when I used for rebooking to go to Austin I paid an additional $116. I am looking at the website today and seeing the ticket cost to go to Austin is $116. I feel cheated because if I had canceled I would have lost $ 178 but would have benefited with a new booking using my Promo code.
I am a regular user of Cheapoair but will never use this anymore and for sure, no more Spirit Airlines. When all the other airlines are cooperating Spirit airlines is not doing anything but rather keep us on hold for hours.

Updated on 08/28/2020: This is the the second time I am writing a review on CHEAPOAIR. The first review I wrote said it was resolved when it was not. I booked my ticket to Japan in August 2019. In February I cancelled my ticket due to Covid-19. I was never told that I would lose out on literally more than half my money.. I wrote a review on the way they handled the situation. A manager contacted me on March 11 stating that I would receive a full refund and also sent me an email stating that. I received a portion and till till this day have not received the rest. I have emailed them over 15 times.
On June 1st a “Manager” contacted me and said that she would get back to me in a few days. I called back two week later and I was told that someone tried calling me, but I had no missed call and they didn’t leave a voice mail. I was told they needed more time. Yesterday I called back to see why this has been taking so long. The lady I spoke to was extremely nice and professional. She said that there is no way I would receive the full refund, but she would see what she could do and would contact me back in 10 minute.. It’s been a day later and still nothing.. DO NOT USE CHEAPOAIR.. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR.. DO NO I CAN’T STATE THIS ENOUGH DO NOT USE CHEAPOAIR. I have spent over 4 hours on the phone with this company.. What a waste of my time to have to fight for my money.
Update on June 25th- I finally got through and spoke to a supervisor… She said there is no way they could refund me the full balance that was sent to me by a Manager in March. After hours of waiting she finally called me back and said they would be able to refund a certain amount ($450.00)… I was so upset that after 4 months I had no choice but to accept the offer.. She told me it would take 7-14 days business days for the amount to be put back on my credit card. It has been 19 business days I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING. During the waiting time I received an email saying I would be refunded $74.32. I have emailed CheapOair about 5 times and I have even called and never get an answer... I called them today. After spending 20 minutes on hold the operator hung up without even speaking.. I called back and got through. They told me there was a mistake and I would get my refund within another 7-14 days.
Well guess what? I STILL HAVE NO RECEIVED MY REFUND!!!! So now we are on month 5 without receiving a refund YOU ARE A COMPLETE FARCE CHEAPOAIR…. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING... How is it possible that you had a toll-free number and now we have to pay the long distance to contact you. (What happened to your toll-free number?) After 6 months they have are still short on the amount of the refund quoted to me. Please do yourself a favour. Pay more and go with a proper company.
Original Review: I just literally spent 2 days trying to resolve the issue with Cheapoair and Korean Air. I am travelling to Japan on the 8th of April. I checked the news and it is clearly stated not to travel to South Korea and let alone Japan has closed their schooling for a month.. Cheapoair will refund half and said to contact the airline to get the remaining balance refunded. Well lo and behold the airline said that cheapoair has to refund it... And there is no travel ban to South Korea (where my layover is) or Japan.. These is getting to be a joke.

A friend of mine was going to treat me to a stay at her timeshare in Mexico to celebrate my "cancer free" diagnosis for pancreatic cancer. I made our flight reservations in February through CheapOAir for our trip at the end of March. In light of the Coronavirus, I was advised by my oncologist to not fly until the epidemic has subsided. Unfortunately, I fall into the category of over 60 and having underlying health condition that is currently being advised not to travel or be in heavily populated areas to avoid coming in contact with the virus.
I called CheapOAir to ask if I could cancel and get credit towards another flight in the future. I was told that it would be $2500 per ticket to cancel the flights (this did not include a refund or credit)...just to cancel the reservations..but I could contact the airlines directly to see if they would offer me anything and to be sure if they said no, "be sure to ask to speak to a manager." The airlines said I needed to speak to CheapOAir because they had nothing to do with the charges I paid for.
I spoke to CheapOAir again and was again told that basically I just threw my money away and I would be a "no show" for the flight or it would cost me double the flight to cancel. How silly is that. Well, the moral of this story is had paid the $70 for the travel insurance, I would have been reimbursed for the service fees being charged to cancel, even though I would not be reimbursed for the ticket purchases. I wish I hadn't listened to my friend and just made my reservations directly with the carriers, as I'm sure they would have been much more helpful. Celebrating at home!

My first experience with them was wonderful but the other experiences thereafter seems that they're kind of crooked try to rip you off. When you go online to book flights it will jump the gun and confirm the flight without you confirming it and then when you call to change it it's a charge or if you want a refund it's a charge. You know like that's the way they getting over on you and I don't understand how they're able to confirm it without the individual confirming it their self and in my case trying to travel for a funeral service they take your money right away. But when is it coming to a refund it takes so many days to get it back so is almost keeping us from being able to even go to the funeral because they have my money are tied up and won't refund it at a promptly time. But they take it away just like that without your confirmation. Think that's a rip-off.

When I reached out to them through chat, they over and over said they are sending me refund for $22. And I over and over responded that I want either full refund or credit since I had an insurance.

Then they say you can't cancel, but they can't get your booking lined up. I have been on the phone with them probably 15 times over the last 3 weeks for a simple $350 domestic flight. Do the math. They can't solve anything. They have my money and I still can't get information on my flight. It's a nightmare!

When I call back I can never speak to anyone. Today, I waited 1 hour and a half on the speaker phone... no answer just the automated message saying that someone will be with me within 15 seconds.

They gave me the run around, then had someone call me to say they'd change the flights at an additional cost. REALLY! I had no choice but to use the flights since it would cost me even more.
There is much more to the whole issue, but the bottom line... DO NOT TRUST AND BOOK ON CHEAPO OR ANY OF THEIR SISTER COMPANIES. I reached out to the parent company through the Better Business Bureau and they did not acknowledge any wrong doing. They think because I used the flight that it justified their actions and releases them from owing me compensation for the Delta cost of the flight, the cost I had to pay to have someone pick me up at the airport at 11:45pm and someone to show up an additional time to check and feed my dog.

When I called Cheapoair, I got a billing representative who told me, in a dry matter of factly tone, that I had NOT clicked the checkout with Affirm feature and since I entered my credit/debit/bank card information, I would not ever be able to use Affirm. The website in this regard is extremely confusing, even greatly misleading, in my opinion. No attempt whatsoever to accommodate me in any way.

CheapOAir appears to be great when offering discounted airfare, however, there are so many factors which lead to increased pricing along with restrictions. The website should be user friendly in clearly highlighting paths towards increased pricing and restrictions. Most of these issues are not really noticed until it's too late or tickets have already been purchased. Then there is also the act of a double charge on credit cards. The double charge happens between the airlines and individual purchasing the ticket as well as CheapOAir ticket charge. Speaking with a representative from CheapOAir it was noted the charge from the airlines will be removed after a number of days, thus, the only charge appearing would be CheapOAir.

Due to corona virus, I had to partially cancel my booking. Before canceling, I had reached out to ask about the refund. They told me to wait and come back after 24-48 hours, then I did after 72 hours. They told me their refund team was still working on that and told me I could cancel first and receive the refund later. I had to cancel anyway so I did. They told me to come back after another 24 hours regarding the refund. When I came back, they again blamed the refund team and told me to come back in 48 hours. I kept coming back as they said and being told to wait for 48 hours over and over.
In the fifth or sixth time I finally asked to talk with a supervisor; he told me there would be no time frame of waiting because they depended on the airlines so I had to wait for, like, forever?! Are they freaking serious? I wish there would be 0 or negative rate to give. I would have not been upset if they told me like that in the first time. I would have never been angry if they didn't keep fooling me around like that. I surely never make any booking in this website again. This is the first and last time ever.

I googled Frontier Airlines, your site kept coming up. Assumed that was Frontier used you to handle flights. Seen a phone number and called. The lady I talked to, convinced me that flights were going quick and sold me overpriced tickets. After giving her my credit card info, she told me she needed 4-5 minutes and would have to open my email to confirm booking. As I opened my email, I had an email from Frontier, their actual website. I put the flights I wanted in and while waiting, a price for $750.60 came up on their site. Then I get a text message saying that my card was charged the exact same amount, $750.66. I thought to myself, when she booked them, it must have been cheaper than the price she quoted me, $850. Then I get another charge for $99.40. That was your fee. I Realized all she did was buy them on the Frontier website, and stole from me, $99.40, every penny of the $850 I told her I had available on my card.

I call 1 hour later after booking to have the names changed and the person has to charge me $75 per person to change the name or re-book the entire flight under her name for credit and she would only charge $30 per person to change it. I said I thought I had 24 hours to cancel the flight. She said, "NO only if you PAY for that option to cancel when purchasing the tickets." So then I re-booked it for $130 more. Then within an hour I get this gift certificate for the "price adjustment" because the fair was cheaper elsewhere; BUT the CREDIT only goes towards your next purchase. They won't credit your original purchase.
Then I received a $50 coupon for my next purchase; therefore, I have a $93 credit so I try to book a connecting flight. I get quoted a $787 for 4 people for this small flight with my credits. I knew this was high because I was researching. She tries to persuade me it's selling out, prices are climbing but I said NO. I booked the same flight through the airline for $299 FOR all 4 with luggage. I booked my one way arriving flight straight through the airline.

Initially, it was a normal transaction. I bought a ticket for my daughter to see her at Christmas. Initially Unknown to me, the outbound airport I had chosen wasn’t what my ex spouse had planned. This is not relevant except to say the change was not driven by me. I had to modify the ticket later that evening and be quick about it because it was 2 days before Christmas Eve and winter storms were causing nationwide delays and cancellations. I called CheapOair back to modify the reservation. I also noticed that one letter was wrong in my daughter's name.
First, I was charged $50 to change one letter of a name. Then I was told the new ticket would be over $400 vs $150 initially. And instead of cancelling the first ticket and issuing a new one I was charged for both. Not to mention I couldn’t understand the English of the agent assisting me. I asked to speak to a supervisor and got the $50 fee reduced to $25 for one letter being corrected. But was not successful in being only charged once for a flight that hadn’t even been flown yet. Even at Christmas they could not be gracious and offer a credit. And it was only 6 hours after initial booking so we’ll within the 24 hour cancellation window.
This agency smiles and says thank you but they are nickel and dimers charging erroneous fees and doubling fares that shouldn’t be doubled. They should in fact, be credited. Even if they were the only agency left to book a flight, they will never get my money again. I’m retired military and have served this great nation for 2 1/2 decades and I hope that each of you will strongly consider going elsewhere when booking travel with Cheapoair.

Cheapo is great...so long as everything goes as planned, but BEWARE the fine print of the agents they use! No notifications of pending cancellation or exactly WHEN one might be considered a no show. Best to book your reservation directly with the provider.

The experience is very good. They were kind and helpful on the telephone, I am very happy with the service from CheapOair. I had to change my tickets and the agent was very helpful and think of my interest and the company interest at the same time. I am very pleased with the service.

Yesterday I made a booking with CheapOair and they assured me that I would be able to cancel with 24 hours but today when I called they said I won't be able to and my money will not be refunded. Today the travel agent gave a totally different view than the one yesterday. And they just hung up the phone on my face. Never book with them. Never ever. Worst travel agent company to book from.

Excellent service. Took the time to schedule and change the flight, find the choice of hotel and waited on line till the task was completed. Reconfirmed and waited patiently to double check the flight number, name and dates for accuracy. When needed patiently waited to check the credit card. When the hotel was declined found out the reason till all were satisfactorily done.

We were very pleased with the texting and phone calls regarding our purchase of two airlines tickets with Spirit Airlines. The response were quick and very helpful. We aren’t very savvy when it comes to purchasing tickets online. Your people were very patient and informative.
