    I have used CheapOair about 4-5 times this year so far. I was planning was planning to use this company for the other 3 trips I have planned this year. I will definitely be finding another company from now on. I will also tell every one of my friends and co-workers who all travel a lot to never use your service again. As well as post on all of my social media sites, and my friends with YouTube channels to keep as much business away from your organization as possible. First of all your customer service department is terrible. I had to stay on hold not once, not twice, not three times, but four times for over an hour.

    Getting disconnected several times was rather annoying too. Your online system needs a major update as well. It changed not only my flight date but most of personal information as well. Computer errors is one thing but to not fix the errors that your system makes is another. I have never seen a company so poorly ran in all my 45 years. The charges were extremely unnecessary. But after multiple phone calls, being on hold for many hours, being disconnected many times, live chat service being non responsive, even corporate supervisors not being able to resolve your failures as a company should have, I have decided otherwise.

    I have given up too much wasted time, effort and my hard earned money to ever spend another dime with your poor excuse for a company. I will be booking my next flights and my family's flights with a more organized and efficient company. I would say thank you for your time but I feel that no thanks should ever being given to a company so poorly ran.

    We bought a Qatar Airways ticket with a 10 hour stop in Doha. Qatar Airways provides its customers with hotels when the layover is more than 8 hours. We were sure that we will be provided with accommodation after a 20 hours trip and did not book any place. But when we arrived at Doha we found that CheapOair sold a promotional fare ticket to us that is not including any accommodation. Based on what Qatar Airways agent said, this is the information that CheapOair should have provided us with. Now we have 10 hours layover after a 20 hours flight without any place to rest or any plan to do only because CheapOair was not transparent at all!

    The funniest thing is that when we called them regarding this matter, they said that, "We did not claim anything about accommodating you and this is not our fault!!!" Just letting you know CheapOair: you are selling promotional ticket and not letting the customer know about that!!! We will not buy any ticket from CheapOair again even if I have to pay more to buy my ticket from somewhere else. I will also transfer this experience to who I know and will not recommend your website to anyone else.

    I booked a flight for our whole family. I was told to pay extra so we can sit close together so I did. After few weeks I got an email with confirmed seat reservation but for 4 travelers only when I booked for 5. So I called CheapOair to ask about this but I was put on hold for more than 30 mins so I hang up. It’s so easy to book a flight with them but when there’s an issue, there’s no customer service to help you.

They said if I cancel and change the flight later on I would have to travel to the same country at a later date. The representatives were very unprofessional, yelling at me over the phone.

    For a two-week vacation in Scotland, I had booked a rental car using a company called CHEAPOAIR (CheapOair.com). I used the same company to book the air travel via Aer Lingus. This complaint relates to the car rental, only. The car was to be supplied by the car rental company Green Motion (**). The amount of $288.40 was paid on 04/05/2019 via credit card to CHEAPOAIR. On arrival at their Edinburgh airport counter on 05/08/2019, Green Motion refused to rent a car to me with the argument that I did not have a driver's license for at least two years as required by their conditions.

    I have had a valid Virginia driver's license since 1985. In Virginia, drivers licences need to be renewed every 8 years (the old license becomes invalid and is kept by the VA Department of Motor Vehicles). My present driver's license states Iss REN 07/02/2018 meaning that it was re-newed on 07/02/2018. The Green Motion staff chose to interpret this information as saying that my driver's license was issued on that date. They then asked me to produce the previous license to show that I have had a driver's license for the required two year period. One possible solution to issue the rental car contract to my husband (whose driver's license was re-newed more than 2 years ago) was also turned down by the Green Motion staff with the argument that the car had not been ordered by my husband. I asked the Green Motion staff to cancel the business transaction and return the money, and they said they could not do that either.

    I contacted CHEAPOAIR on 05/08/2019 to ask them to return my money. They said that this was a problem between me and the rental car company and that they could not help me. To save our vacation, I rented a car from a reputable company at Edinburgh airport (SIXT). The car was more expensive, but no problems of any kind were encountered.

    In summary, Green Motion has a requirement for the prior validity of the driver's license that may be easy to state but is often (12% of all cases) impossible to meet, at least for Virginia drivers (and likely for drivers from many other states, too). The company has not delivered any service to me. They should not be allowed to keep my money.

    Everything about CheapOair was a pleasant experience from booking, to car rentals. Even when American Airline delayed my plane yesterday and I had to make new arrangements, the folks on the phones were understanding. All the representatives whom I spoke with were respectful, helpful and kind. Unfortunately, this morning my back went out and I was unable to make my flight, so I had to cancel my plans to see my family. I am unable to sit or stand for any length of time, therefore traveling was not an option. I was hoping to get some kind of compensation or vouchers, but was turned down by the support team and snap-chat. Other than the unfortunate event of my back injury, I was pleased with CheapO's service.

I got my pass and hightailed it to the opposite end of the airport where to security where kind people let me go through to the front of the line to screening. I arrived at my gate four minutes late.

    My family is going on a cruise this fall. We had all travel plans arranged except flight to get from my state to LAX. I was able get tickets for $150 each, which I thought was great because I was seeing $400-$600 prices. It is possible I could have saved $20 each if I kept working on it, but this way it is done and I don't have to worry or think about it anymore. My only "complaint" is I don't like that the tickets are non-refundable, but perhaps that can't be helped.

    I had the worse experience purchasing my flight thru this company. They are not straightforward with what they are doing and their priority is to make a profit. I paid $140 for an upgraded ticket which also included the ability to choose your seat on the plane. After I selected my seats online, their website attempted to charge me more money. This isn't right, why do I need to pay twice to select my seat? This should be the first red flag that this company is not straightforward and attempts to gouge more money. So I called in and spoke to an agent.

    First, it is not a very clear connection speaking to the agent. Second, the agent has an accent. It's like a fake European accent and is not the easiest to understand. The agent said he can help with the free seat selection (but it's not free, I already paid $140 for it as an upgrade) and he will look for similar flight times for this option. This made me nervous and I told him I don't want to make any changes to the time of my flight. I work like normal people and have to be back home at a specific time for work after my trip. He said ok, and put me on hold.

    He returned and said he was able to select the seats. When he repeated the itinerary back to me of what he booked, I noticed that the dates weren't the same that I originally chose. I almost didn't catch this change, he was very subtle about it, and again...this line isn't clear nor is his English. On top of it, he bombards you with a lot of excessive information and hides these changes among them.

    When I pointed the date change out to him, he said the flight is already booked with the new dates and that I did not instruct him that he couldn't change the date. I reminded him that I instructed him I did not want any changes to the time of my flight. His argument was he did not change the time, he just changed the date. So from his logic, as long as he maintained the specific time, he had the liberty to change the date, month and even year of the flight. I insisted, I wanted it to be changed back to my original dates. I have to be back for work. He resisted changing it back, said it was already booked.

    Then we proceeded into a huge argument about the semantics of what the meaning of "time" was. I can't believe I wasted my breath with this agent. It was apparent he was unwilling to provide me what I paid for (assigned seats on a specific flight I paid for). When he insisted on me to accept the new booking with the different date, I said this isn't what I wanted to purchase and was going to cancel the whole transaction with my credit card if he could not help me. He at first said I cannot do this. After more arguing and me threatening to cancel with my credit card, he eventually did return the flight to my original booking date with selected seats.

    Why couldn't he have done that from the beginning? Why can't I just do that by myself from the website? Why make this such a painful and difficult process? It's because they are trying to make money and profits in a guise that they are being "helpful" to the customer. The agent had no intent of helping, he was attempting to coerce and trick me to change my trip days and times to a cheaper ticket. Once they booked me on these cheaper days/times, they don't offer you the the difference, they pocket the profits. When they make these changes, they do it very slyly and indiscreetly. And when you catch them on it, they make it hell for you to change it back. I will never use this company to book my flights and will never recommend using them to anyone. They don't care about their customer needs and only try to think of ways to make a buck off of you.

    I booked my flights for 3 people. I noticed that I inadvertently put April 29 instead of April 30. On their website it states we are able to make cancellations or changes within 24 hours. What they don't tell you is there is an additional charge per person to change the date. This was a matter of minutes that I wanted to change the date after reserving. First they wanted to charge me $80 per person. Then it was $60 per person. Then it was $30 per person but at a different airport. CheapOair needs to be more forthcoming with their additional fees and fines!! Like people aren't human and aren't going to make mistakes! Give me a break!!! Scam scam scam is what I say!

    Booked a flight for my father who is 89 years old, blind and has a service dog. Customer service representative helping me find a flight for him. The agent pointed out a one stop flight where he would not have to get off the plane and would only have a 50 minute layover. The price for this flight was reportedly $30 more. I agreed that it was worth the $30 to have them stay on the airplane with his dog. He proceeded to make the reservations and told me that the price had gone up another $30. I reluctantly agreed.

    After hanging up I went to Southwest website and found the same flight for $30 less. Same price he had originally quoted me. I took a screenshot. Send it to their price match email. They wouldn’t match the price because it was the airline not what they consider a “competitor”. I will never use CheapOair air again. I don’t like the bait and switch and I’m sure that salesman made money off of what he did to me and my father. Also the airline is not a competitor? I don’t think so.

    This is my second and last reservation with CheapOair. The first time I used them I did not get any savings whatsoever than if I had just gone directly through the airline. The second time I made a mistake by one day on my arrival time and tried to go back and contact them to see if I could change the date by one day, so I could make a cruise that I was trying to attempt. They wanted to charge me a $300 penalty fee plus whatever the difference in fare was. I ended up going directly to the airline itself and was able to resolve it. I tried to get a supervisor through CheapOair and it took about an hour to get that. They wasted my entire evening and did nothing for me. I will never use them again.

    I needed to fly to the upper corner of West Virginia and wanted to avoid the DC area traffic issues so was looking for a flight to a smaller airport closer to where I was headed. After searching all options I found ONE flight with the dates and destination I needed for my trip. I noticed there was a long layover in DFW but figured it would be ok for the trip out. This layover was 15 hours extending over 2 days and the airlines would not check my bag all the way to my final destination for some reason but said I could pick up my bag in DFW and recheck it with no additional charge on to my destination.

    The airlines offered me a discounted room at a nearby hotel since I could not stay in the airport and had to re-enter through TSA just before the flight. Whoa the airlines said it would cost me an additional $30 to recheck my bag but since the starting airport BZN had said I would not have to repay they waived it. My bag was checked from there to my final destination. Then while I was was wasting another 3 hours in Pitt I noticed that my return flight was even worse and less customer service oriented (a 29+ hour layover) for the whole trip over 2 days again with added fees for luggage check. I told them this was totally uncalled for and how unhappy I was and all they would say is that the ticket was non refundable and they could do nothing to help me.

    I asked to speak to a manager and was given to someone else and I was told the same garbage. I offered to give them a review so here it is. I was finally given a better return flight by them canceling the second half of my round trip ticket and giving me a one way ticket home at a discounted rate which was an additional $353+. When I told them it was not good enough they reduced the extra to $292.50 for the flight home. I took that so this CheapOair reservation and flight only cost me $960.66 for the flight, $60.00 for bag fees, plus $450.81 for car rental grand total of $1411.47. You might think this is CHEAP but I disagree and will never use or recommend this company to anyone EVER. I can do better.

They charge MORE FOR EVERYTHING than direct-to-airline booking. They charge for services - like refundability, luggage and seat selection - that the airlines provide free or at much lower cost. Worst of all, they failed to record cancellations, leaving me with no recourse or ability to even REQUEST A REFUND. If you want the lowest price available, CALL THE AIRLINES DIRECTLY.

Attempted again and again with no avail. Your response time (in this case none) is beyond hope. You need to address this problem or you'll start to lose my business.

    CheapOair says they will find you the cheapest deal for airfare. Then they charge you a fee so it is not the cheapest. Then they text you and email you spam style. You think you picked your seats but you didn't. You still have to check in with the airline. When I'd hit the link to check in with CheapOair it sends you to links to rent a car or a hotel. In the end you have to go to the airline's check-in. I'm not sure what the fee they collect for you is for. I guess to spam you with emails. I suggest to go directly to the airline that is your cheapest deal and they will not spam you.

    Booked a flight through them to TX literally 10mins ago and through their system, they charged me $50/bag. Then after booking, the airline sent me an email saying that I paid $35/bag and that it was only for going there and not coming back. I called CheapOair to have them fix the pricing and to credit the bags back. Was on hold forever and when they came on the phone, they kept arguing with me as to why they charge ridiculous fee and there's absolutely nothing they can do to refund me. Even though I booked it 10mins ago.

    I then called the airline and they said they can offer me a full refund back on my card. When I asked what card that is, they mentioned a card that's not even mine! Then I called CheapOair again and they refused to refund me my money and refused to do anything to help. So I would lose more than half of my money for canceling. After multiple calls and wait 4 hrs later, I ended up paying the extra bag fees on the return flight.

After waiting on hold for an eternity, and on chat, I finally got an person on the phone. This person made me jump through a million evasive hoops only to tell me that it would cost me $50.00 to cancel AND he had to speak to the passenger, who is my husband. My husband got on the phone and the CheapOair representative informed my husband that I had been told 3 times online that I was buying an "alternative date". That is so untrue.

    The only warning I got was after I clicked "Buy" a screen quickly flashed "Congratulations you bought an alternative fare!" There was no way to stop the purchase. Seconds later when I got the confirmation emails and texts it talked all about how I "chose" the alternate date. Each one also had a segment that said if I would like to change the date to "click or call here". It's been 45 minutes on hold and of both of us talking to someone at CheapOair who has been trained in evasion techniques.

Okeey, maybe a glitch in the system. After that we learn that despite our request for two checked in suitcases, agent booked light economy - no suitcases and we were charged extra $250 for luggage. When we arrived in Milan the Europcar had no trace of our car reservation and we have to start all over again. We got the car at the end.

    When we return home, Europcar charged us $1500 for the car, insurance, etc. But CheapOair already took $433 for the car and due to something Europcar never deducted that amount from the rent. If that issue cannot be resolved we would be force to file small claim in Florida court to get our money back. Whatever we try to save, it did not work and the name say it all. Cheapo, Run.

Turns out if you don’t use your flight going to your destination you will be removed from your returning flight. Who knew that was a thing? We ended up having to buy additional flights, one way, for a mere thousand dollars. Just to sum it up - more than $800 for the original flight that could not be changed/refunded, $300 for a rental car, more than $100 for a hotel THEN more than $1,000 for the return flight.

    I booked a round-trip flight for my daughter from the US to Prague and back for a four-month trip. CheapOair sent me two emails during her time away letting me know about very minor changes to her return flights. Yet, when the trans-Atlantic portion of her trip was cancelled altogether, we were NEVER notified. It was only because I never received an email the day before she was to fly home enabling her to check in online for her flight home that I called the airline and learned that the trans-Atlantic portion of her flight had been cancelled.

    Luckily, after speaking with a supervisor, the airline was able to get her switched to an earlier flight, but CheapOair did virtually nothing. Nor, despite numerous email exchanges, did this company ever take ANY responsibility for not notifying us of her flight cancellation. This was despite the fact that CheapOair had sent an email months earlier about a 5-minute change in one of her upcoming flight arrival times. So apparently a 5-minute flight differential is worth notifying customers about, but a flight cancellation is not. CheapOair's excuse was that the flight cancellation was a last-minute change (which it wasn't), and that it was not responsible for notifying us. If I hadn't called the airline, and if the airline had not generously worked with us, my daughter would have missed her only opportunity to get home. I will never use this company again.

AND, more importantly, the Delta Hotels By Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove reservation was horribly executed. If you want to WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY, and ENERGY, stay at the Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove hotel.

    Unfortunately, the establishment was rude and unaccommodating. They put me in a room below the construction. So I woke up to power tools and other construction sounds at 7:30am Thursday morning. It was disruptive and frustrating. On top of that, the wifi was intermittent. The gym was unavailable, and the outdoor parking was unreasonably priced considering that most of the spots were taken up by construction trucks. Although I inquired about why they would assign a guest to a loud room, or if I could speak with a manager, they passed the buck along to you guys and blamed your site for not disclosing their situation.

    The manager didn't give me the corporate number to share my complaint; rather, he just gave your number. They failed to take responsibility to rectify the situation. When I contacted CheapOair, there was no recourse. Again, if you want to waste your time, energy, and money while on vacation, stay at the ridiculous Delta establishment on Harbor Boulevard.

I said, "I already gave you the flight details and the price. You just need to get me a better price and a seat confirmation, like you told me you would do." He jacked me around for another 5 mins.

    This is when he came back with a price $60 higher than the quoted price on their site. I said, "WTF?". Do you think I am stupid or what. He played me the whole time (wasted). I hung up and went directly to the airline with their fight number and times. Got online reservation in about 8 mins. No hassles... and $ 25 cheaper than Cheapoair's original quote. There were so many extras that cheapoair was pushing as well. Just find your flight numbers with dates and times and go directly to airline for reservation. A LOT CHEAPER!!!! A LOT LESS HASSLE!!! And you deal directly with the airline....

    We booked our flight to Quito Ecuador on CheapOair with Support Package. Cancellation should have been free. Initially, we booked this flight online. When we thought we were done, we got a call from CheapOair that our booking did not go through. The agent said he would help us re-create exactly what we had before. I enquired about cancellation because I noticed on the top of the page, it says 24 hours cancellation. He said because this is International flights, there will be $75 cancellation per person if we cancel. But if we have the Support Package, then it will be free. Because I haven’t been able to confirm our tour in Ecuador, I thought it would a good idea to buy the package. The agent told us that he would put this into two bookings. I thought nothing of it. He confirmed it with emails and texts.

    15 minutes later we got another call from the CheapOair’s Charge Department. He told us he was able to process the charges for one bookings but not the 2nd one. After a long discussion, we called our credit card company. They were blocked because they tried to chop the entire transaction into small pieces (12 charges). Anyway, at our request, the cc company released the rest of the charges.

    The next day I tried to coordinate with our tours again but couldn’t. At 6:30 pm I called to cancel CheapOAir the number shown on the bookings. No answer. I called the general number. They couldn’t help me with cancellation so they transfer me to the “cancellation department”. After following the prompts, I was put on hold. 10 minutes later, a robotic voice came to phone to ask for feedback. Before I even had a chance to respond, the voice said “good-bye” and disconnected. After a few more attempts, same thing happened. I finally was connected and held on line for TWO HOURS. No one ever came to the phone and I was disconnected after 2 hours. As I was holding on the phone, I still tried desperately to connect with someone on "Chat".

    Finally someone answered my “chat”. I explained to her the situation. I was on “chat” with her for more than 1 hour. She told me she had to charge me $130 for each person. When I reminded her that I purchased the Support Package. Then she said I only bought the package on one booking but not two, so she still had to charge me. I told her I didn’t book this as two bookings, and I don’t know why the agents put it into two bookings. She kept telling me that she could not cancel this without charging me a cancellation fee. Then she said she was willing to give me a break and charge me $130. I told her no. That’s not what the agreement was.

    This dragged on until 9:30, then she said, my time ran out, and if I want to cancel I have to cancel then with the $130 cancellation. At this point, I was upset, tired and defeated. So I told her to cancel. I agreed to cancel but I did not agree to pay the $130. During the entire time, she could not offer any explanation of the charges and the amount. Cancellation was made on 5/6 and as of today, we haven't seen the full refund yet. They are funding us in $1, .01, etc. a few dollars, a few cents a day. I will NEVER patronize them again.

    I feel like I was scammed by this site. What they do is lure people with relatively low prices, and then once you are in their trap, they will suck your money with the fine print. Every little consultation or change as minor as it seem they will charge you with no remorse. Worse part is that their service sucks. I requested a change for my flight, they did it wrong and wanted to charge me for the correction. There is when I realize they were not only charging me for the fare difference but for a lot of "service fees". Ended up paying much more in those service fees than on the tickets itself. My recommendation is to use more reputable sites.

    This company’s service is not to trust. On April 30th I booked a flight on their website to leave at 7 am on May 25th to NYC however; the confirmation showed a different flight schedule with an 11 am departure. I called CheapOair immediately after receiving the confirmation via email, spoke to a supervisor who made the modifications on their end, ensured My reservation showed departure at 7 am. I then received another email confirming this Schedule. As the time approached today May 24th, and I am ready to check in for my flight I was surprised to see the flight was changed again to 11 am. The supervisor who I spoke to this morning said I was the one who made the last modification on May 1st which is not true.

    After being on the phone with them for 49 minutes I was advised their system was down and they were not able to assist me. They asked that I wait an hour for them to call me back. Two hours later I still have not received a call and when I contacted them again they said the system is down for another 4 to 5 hours.

    I know I made a huge mistake of trusting this company with my flight schedule and now I’m paying the price for it. They are dishonest and disrespectful and assume no accountability. I feel the supervisor I spoke to on April 30th made it seemed he had resolved the issue to get me off the phone and then went back again the next day and changed my flight back.

    I've been using Cheapoair since i can't even remember (i'll say 2009-20010), so about 10 yrs. They've always been my first go to site for cheap flights and everything was good in the beginning but as of recently, the company has gotten a little sneaky with their fees and the way they go about your bookings. I'll recount two recent incidents - i'm sure others have found themselves in similar situations:

    Last year my family and I planned an international trip. I purchased all of our flights from cheapoair (5 adults 1 infant). Right after booking the flight, i received a call from a representative pressing me to reserve my seats in advance. I went ahead and reserved the seats so the entire family would sit together - had to pay extra per seat. When the rep called me, i was under the impression that we wouldn't be able to fly or get seated together if we didn't book in advance or the airline would charge us when we got to the kiosk. Whatever, i reserved the extra seats to be on the safe side.

    On the day of our flight, we arrived at the airport to find out that 1) we were not getting our reserved seats 2) the baby's ticket number was not registering and we couldn't check in without the baby's ticket number. We spent an hour at the kiosk waiting for them to find the number, after calling around, they had to issue a new ticket for the baby and they couldn't do so without issuing a new adult ticket. Not the way you want to start your trip and a long flight - needless to say it, everyone was irritated and tired by the time we got on board. We finally get to our seats and guess what, they screwed up the seating arrangement - a service we had already paid for to guarantee that we would actually be seated together.

    I recently booked a trip with cheapoair for my sister in law who's going overseas with my niece. While booking the ticket, i looked at the baggage information to see if we would have to pay and extra fees for checked baggages - it said there were no baggage fees for that airline. I go forward with booking the flights. When i get the email, i skip reserving my seats for the extra $116 fee. I immediately get a call from cheapoair and the rep asks why i hadn't reserved my seats. I tell him that i'm not interested we just want the flights.

    Earlier i'd try to verify the baggage rules on the airlines website and couldnt see them so i asked the cheapoair rep for the exact policy. That's when he informs me that i purchased an "ECONOMY LIGHT" fare. Meanwhile when i was booking the flights, the options were coach, premium economy, business and first. But apparently, economy light is a secret layer where they charge extra added fees with no explanation. Will book directly from the airlines from now on. Our dollars can be spent better elsewhere.

    I made reservations through CheapOair to fly out from Missouri to New York on May 23 flight time at 12:27, return flight day May 27, departure time 7:05 am. I checked my itinerary the day before the flight and found out that my returning departure time had been changed to 5:01 am. I thought no biggie. Just a couple of hours. I drive an hour and half to the airport only to find out not only had the time changed but so had the day. They changed my flight day to May 22, a day early. Well, needless to say I didn’t get to go on my trip.

    I tried calling the 800 number listed but no one would answer. I called my credit card company to stop the charges only to find out CheapOair overcharged my account $100. My credit card company are disputing the charges on my behalf. If I could give them a minus star rating I would have. After reading all of the reviews I am seriously considering contacting my attorney and my congressional representative and have a more thorough investigation started for fraudulent activity.

    I have done extensive online shopping for flights and have booked them with several online sources. I have never had such an awful experience as with CheapOair. They have a 24 hour cancellation policy, so they say. Yet when I tried to cancel the flight within 12 hours, they gave me nothing but frustration. At first they said they couldn’t do it, then they said they would, but there would be a $50 charge. Finally, after talking to a supervisor, and reading him their rules and regulations that I found online they agreed to cancel the flight. Then it took two more calls to verify the cancellation because they kept sending email confirmations for the flight. I wasted at least 3 hours dealing with them and will never use them again.

    I booked two tickets on CheapOair before realizing that that multiple long layovers added 11 plus hours to each trip. I immediately called customer assistance to inquire about options with shorter layovers, and was told that anything with shorter layovers would add $500 plus to each ticket. I went online and found a NON-STOP option for the same price, dates, and airports. The nonstop carrier was listed on the CheapOair site at triple the real price. They lied to me in order to sell their crappy bottom-grade flights. I ended up eating the price of the two 20-hour flights in order to rebook the nonstop flight at virtually the same price.

    I initially booked a trip on CheapOair, because the fare was a little cheaper than other sites. I thought, well, I will give it again. Also, in the CheapOair website said that if you paid extra money (I think it was about $12), you would be covered for cancellation fee and "speedy" customer service. So I did, as well as extra money for "price drop alert" (extra $5). I thought with these 2 extra paid service, I would be OK. But I was wrong or being played by CheapOair. My first booking was for early May, but my job would not let me go because they need more time for scheduling. So I had to cancel it less than 1 day.

    It was not easy at all canceling though CheapOair! They wanted to charge cancellation fee! I told that I had paid for cancellation fees. But the guy (with Indian accent) told me that the money was "only" for "speedy" customer service. After much argument and I told him that I would book another trip for later on day on their website, he agreed to give me the refund. As you might have figured it out, the second trip, although giving more time, was more expensive than the first one. I also, booked one day hotel via CheapOair. It said $33/night and I booked it, but the woman (with Indian accent) told me that it came up to $72 because there is a fee and she assured me that I could cancel it anytime before my trip day on May 27th. I need the hotel booking information for my visa. I thought, well, I could cancel it after I have got the visa.

    I did get the visa quickly. But When I called back 2 days ago asking for cancellation of the hotel, I was put on hold for a long time ("speedy" customer service?!), the man with Indian accent told me that he can only give me $33 not the full refund. I explained to him that when I was booking the hotel, his colleague told me that I could cancel it with full refund any time before May 27th and it was way before that. After that, he said that he would give me the full refund and I would receive a confirmation email soon. I did received two emails with the confirmation, except that it did not mention anything about the full refund.

    Today, May 21, I have received an email from the refund department and only refund me $35.21. not the full amount. I tried to email them back, but my email was blocked! What kind of ** company is this!? A group of crooks--lie, play and steal from their customers! I had tried different online booking companies. Recently, I booked a trip via another company. I did not like the house in Cuba when I got there and the Booking.com gave me full refund without any fees.

    I booked a flight through CheapOair. I had to postpone it for several reasons. I called their customer service line which routed me to a call center located in India. Spent a total of 3+ hours on the line with several agents who where all EXTREMELY disrespectful. They did not explain the flight change policies and pricing breakdowns well and kept on changing what they would say. The company wanted to charge me as much money as I had initially paid for. The agents were not attending to my concerns and refused to answer some of my questions nor help find me a satisfying resolution or cancellation alternative.

    I felt like the company had me tied up since I had already paid and literally did not consider my booking history as a regular returning customer. I was being kept on hold for over 20-30 minutes at a time without any reasonable reason. I decided to cancel my flight and got charged a $200 cancellation fee as well as refund of only 70% of the initial price. This has been by far the worst customer experience I have ever had and I will never consider booking anything from this company. Literally horrible service.

    Derek, our website is set up to display the least expensive fares first, we mention that as being alternate date. When searching for the flights that fit your needs you would have had to scroll down the availability until you see the dates you needed. We also have a pop up screen highlighted asking if you want these flights and we display them and also mention you have saved $$ by choosing alternate dates, if they didn't work for you, this is where you needed to select go back and start again.Our website doesn't switch the dates after your selection. If you didn't call within 24 hours to cancel or change than you have the airline change penalty, plus the actual cost of the ticket you would have paid if alternate dates were not selected.

    I guess you get what you pay for. We booked a trip several months in advance. A month before we were to travel, we were notified that the flight that we booked never really existed in the first place and that we needed to choose to leave one day earlier or one day later. (Good thing we hadn't begun to book our hotels). It would frequently take a few phone calls to the help center to find someone who knew what they were doing. While we were away, out of the country, the plane that we were to fly home on were grounded worldwide. (Boeing 737 Max 8) I called the airline itself to see what the status of our flight was and was told that the flight was, indeed grounded.

    They tentatively changed our reservations but recommended that we call CheapOair to officially have the reservation changed. When I called CheapOair, THEY told me that the flight wasn't grounded! I nearly had to yell at the guy to say "THE AIRLINE ITSELF SAYS IT IS GROUNDED!" The other issue was the flight insurance that you get through CheapOair. Trip Mate was TERRIBLE!! Wouldn't pay any of the additional expenses incurred as a result of the groundings of the plane. Never again!

After an hour and a half on the phone with them trying to convince me to go to two other airports that would cost an additional 50$ in transit taking more than 5 hours to get to either of them they continued to keep me on hold telling me a number of times they have a flight.

    I found a flight then they said they couldn't verify the purchase of the ticket so another top dollar ticket and another ticket we couldn't use. It was clear the plan was to keep me busy, tell there was no available flights so they could purchase the cheapest flight possible and when they couldn't they didn't make right.

    Hi, I do appreciate that price is reasonable good. But when I bought ticket my debit card was charged. Then after 3 days the same debit card was charge again!!! I wrote to service chat next day. No sorry at all, just pointed me to billing department. I wrote an email same day to billing department asking to return money as soon as possible as I need those money.. It is now 3rd day after I was charge twice and no contact from this company and no money back.. I feel as was robbed. Other thing. There was possibility to choose seats, but for additional price. I checked carrier website, and choose those seats for free no charge at all!!! Ricardas

    Beware this provider. They do not tell you the real, actual complete price until after they require your credit card information. After booking a round trip flight with my wife, they informed that the one checked bag and one carry on bag would cost an extra $328. If I had known this I never would have booked the flight. Also they added a $60 admin fee that was never mentioned until after my credit card was charged.

    Most airlines charge for baggage except for Southwest but they may not be available in your area and can be more expensive than your low cost carriers like Spirit or Frontier. The baggage tab is located directly beneath the flight options on the flight page to view prior to making a purchase, you can also check airline sites for baggage details as well. Our service fee is mentioned in our terms and conditions and is included in the total purchase price, and we do advise that you will be billed in multiple transactions.

    I don't usually write a review, but this time I think it's worth mentioning. I had been CheapOair's customer since about 2010. I bought many tickets with them and everything was fine because I never needed help until recently. I booked 2 tickets to New Jersey for me and my husband in April 2019, but just one week before our departure, Wow Air went bankrupt and our flights were canceled. I contacted CheapOair customer service and they told me to contact the airline. I was confused coz I bought the tickets through their website and CheapOair processed my payment. I thought they would help me contact Wow Air and get some answer for me. So I contacted Wow Air and they said it would take 90 days. I wasn't pleased with customer service, but I didn't take it serious.

    While waiting for the refund, I booked 2 new tickets to the same destination. 5 days before our departure, I got a reminder email from CheapOair. I went through the itinerary and found that my first name was on both of the tickets! (My husband's middle and last name were correct). I contacted CheapOair immediately. First customer service insisted there was nothing he could do. He said name change was not allowed in any case. He said it was my fault I put the wrong name at the time of the booking. I argue that I didn't type my own name twice. It doesn't make sense. In fact, I didn't even have to type anything. I bought tickets with them so often I only had to check the box to choose who's flying.

    What strange is his middle and last name were correct (we have the same last time of course). I suggested that it might be malfunction of the website. The staff raised his voice and said "Do not find fault in the system!" and kept going on and on without listening to a word I said. I made a comment: " So you don't think there's a possibility there's an error on the system?" He said no, and insisted there's nothing he could do and suggested that I had to buy new tickets. I said you won't even try to contact the airline?. He raised his voice again and said the airline wouldn't allow the name correction. I was so furious. He kept telling me to buy new tickets instead of trying to help me.

    I asked to speak to supervisor. He was polite and said he just spoke to the airline and airline said they don't allow correction. It was a lie! Because I sent a message to the airline's Facebook page and they said I just had to contact CheapOair and CheapOair can just contact their TA. I called Cheapoair back again, had to re-tell the whole story, mentioned the name of supervisor, got transferred to his desk, waited for a long time just to find out he's too busy and assigned other staff to handle my case. Guess what? I had to, of course, re-tell the story again from the beginning, got transferred to other representative. The last one was willing to help. He tried to call the airline and said it's not possible coz the airline was closed long time ago (so the supervisor just literally lied to me coz he said he contacted the airline!).

    I was told to call back the next day when the airline office operates. And at 2:30 AM, I gave up. In the morning I decided to contact the airline directly one more time, I explained the situation and told the airline staff that CheapOair wouldn't help at all and our flight was in 4 days. Airline staff couldn't believe CheapOair didn't even put an effort to try to help so she went ahead and correct the name for a small fee. It was such a relief. At this point, I'm so disappointed in their customer service and I will never ever book anything with CheapOair again! I'll definitely take my business somewhere else!

    Terrible first and last experience. Awful! In case of any issue requiring customer service be prepared to stress yourself spending days, hours trying to connect with the the call center in India. They confirmed a flight, being that it has been long canceled by the airline due to bankruptcy. Besides they refused to comply with the option offered by the airline, which is to book with another airline. Instead, they push the refund as a mean to a unsatisfactory resolution. Truly this business should be avoided. It's a trap for the unaware.

    Response from CheapOair

    Cheapoair offered a cheaper rate for travel with a return on May 15 instead of May 14. We offer the lowest options first, and if you are not flexible than you would need to move down the flight options to locate your dates that work for you. Once the flights are selected, we do not change your dates. So it is important to review the itinerary on the screen prior to hitting submit or notify us immediately after booking within 24 hours to inform us that there is something wrong with the reservation. Now days, the airlines offer a basic economy ticket which means after 24 hours the ticket cannot be changed even for a fee. So when booking online verify all the information and the email that get's sent out within minutes of booking.

    I searched for a flight from Raleigh, NC to Miami, FL. The search engine came up with Raleigh - MIA $99 exactly what I was looking for - WRONG. When you click on the Icon it automatically switched the airport to Ft Lauderdale so after I complete the booking I realized it switched me to FLL. It gets better then the ticket is non refundable so I figure no problem I will contact CheapOair and they will understand. WRONG AGAIN. First they said they were offering me a $50 discount on the new booking when I looked on my phone for the current rate this was actually not a discount when I called out the customer service they acted like they made a mistake and further discounted the rate but would not return money from misleading search engine. So I was stuck paying double.

    I just kept the screwed up flight because it was too expensive to change. So now I am going to the wrong airport adding 2 hours on to my drive home. Terrible customer service. Do not use this company. Expedia is so much better. I should have never gone back to CheapOair. Do not use CheapOair.com.

I then tried contacting them again and after waiting for over an hour still was not able to get to the bottom of why I was getting these emails. Most annoying and I would never use them again.

    My friends and I are going on a trip to Europe in a few weeks and one of my friends booked all of the tickets. In error, he forgot to put my middle name on the ticket as it is reflected on my passport. As anyone knows, if the names on your passport and ticket don't match up (especially international) you are not able to board the plane. Upon calling Cheapo-o they blamed the airline and said that the airlines policy states they cannot change the name on the ticket.

    Upon calling Iceland air after, the rep told me that the reason they can't change is because CheapOair purchased the ticket and they have to be the one to make the change.... Call back CheapOair only to be told that it is their policy not to change the names on the ticket and my only solution is to buy another ticket.... this is the most absurd thing I've ever heard of in my life. Any airline i've ever flown on before never gives me issues when changing/editing names, but for some reason we can't change the name through CheapO???

It was a lie because it was actually a 2 stop flight in UK with 77 miles distance between each airport with no transportation assistance from one airport to the other. When I called back to make a change they did not offer me a better deal so I decided to cancel and get a refund, that's when they started to get rude, pushy and disrespectful.

    Updated on 6/11/2019: I booked my family’s & my flight from LA to India through CheapOair. When I was booking it showed the travel time was 21 hrs 05 mins by Air Canada. It said, "Check if you need transit Visa". I checked the CBT.com link provided by CheapOair & it said we don’t require a visa as we are Indians & traveling to India. So I booked the flight. After booking, CheapOair constantly kept changing my flight Itinerary & made it a 26 hrs 45 mins flight. And when I spoke to CheapOair customer service I was shocked at the intimidating language they used and said that they would cancel my tickets if I don’t want it due to so many hours added to my trip and that I would lose all my money as they had given me a Non-Refundable Ticket.

    I asked my friend and he insisted that I need a Transit Visa so I spoke to Air Canada and I was told that I need a Transit Visa. So I had to go through the hassle & spend another $230 at VFS Global for Visa Application & 3 weeks of stress after submitting my family’s & my passport. Meal was Inclusive on the flight but guess what? We were not served meal on flight from LAX to YVR & were asked to Buy Our Meal. CheapOair not only is the worst service provider but cheats. I’ve never experienced such bad service. CheapOair is full of scums. Guys I have got all their emails where they kept changing my flights from 21:05 hrs to 26:30 mins travel.

After a day I got an email saying that some changes have been made to my travel plan and now my travel time is 26 hrs & 47 mins. When I spoke to Cheapoair customers service used threatening language saying that they will cancel the tickets and I’ll loose 85% of my payments.

    I recently purchased one way premium economy flights via CheapOair. The final price quoted and the invoiced amount turned out to be several hundred dollars more than the fare shown on their website so I requested a detailed invoice. It turns out there were two additional charges in addition to the advertised fare in the amounts of $21.90 and $180. The $21.90 was for Travel Assist which I did not request nor was even made aware of and a $180 agency fee. I spoke to them via Chat and had them remove the Travel Assist and fee.

    The agency fee I reluctantly accepted since with it the fare was still considerably less than any comparable fare I had been able to find. While their website shows the option of Travel Assist I find it unscrupulous to automatically include it without making the customer aware. Likewise a hidden agency fee is deceptive at best and in my mind unethical. I have no objection to being charged a reasonable fee (although $180 is not reasonable) to provide a service but hiding such fees is no way to conduct a business. I for one will never book with them again.

Now, they charge exorbitant service fees, use completely unprofessional high pressure tactics and agents, make several booking mistakes that cost hours to fix on personal time, misadvertise fares in real time, and end up costing more agony and time to correct their errors than they are worth. I have also experienced their complete disregard for arranging disability accommodations which is super simple for them to do. I called to rectify this once and found out the REAL cost of my tickets were far less ($80+) than what CheapOair charged me, even with the $20 “coupon” they offered me. The ticket agent also lied and said the coupon I was given was only for car rental and hotel - not airfare. Our conversation was so scammy on her part. I spoke to several airline agents and escalations departments directly and they advised their tickets are CHEAPER to go directly through them.

    Booked day one (for flight 4 weeks in future) and day two found dog could not fly due to airline rules, so cancelled that 2nd day. Total orig. flight cost $180 & we did not fly. Airline itself confirmed 24 hour free cancellation, but CheapOair keeps $100 of payment as fee anyway. Outrageous since NOT clearly advised at original booking/checkout. Not Cheapo at all.

    When booking a series of flights + Hotel + car etc with CheapOair, BE AWARE that EACH ticket is separate in itself. Even though I was sent a single long invoice with all the separate flights, hotels etc of my trip. When my trip was canceled due to Hurricane Harvey, the total trip was not handled as a one booking but as many single units - each to be checked and double checked. It took quite a learning curve for me to manage - the end result of my bureaucratic seeming muddle, is very satisfactory. Lesson is, that CheapOair handles, and is good for simple single small steps - nothing multiple or complex.

    We booked a flight on CheapOAir. Realized in less an hour that it was for the wrong day return. Called the support desk and they told us they couldn’t change it. If we wanted to change it would cost us $500+. International and US federal laws allows changes to be made or flights to be cancelled within 24 hrs of booking.

    I was looking for airline tickets for my wife and to travel to the Philippines. Went to CheapOair to check out the price and the available seats. The website for CheapOair will not allow you to check for available seat assignments before clicking on the "continue booking" spot. I did so only to find that none of the available seats were desirable. After exiting CheapOair I went elsewhere to find what I wanted. The next day I find that CheapOair had finalized the booking that I did not "Finally" authorize. I merely was moving as required toward the specific seating availability.

    Just booked a flight on CheapOair for the first time, and immediately realized it was for the wrong destination. My fault for not confirming, but when I inputted a destination, the first two options were for something completely different. I did a search for a flight to Miami for the 11th of December, and the first option was for the 10th, the second for a flight to Orlando. Was a great price so booked the second one (used to flying to Orlando, didn't click in) and then realized my mistake.

    Called them immediately and was able to cancel, but with a $100 fee. So they charged me for the full price for the flight when I booked it online, but that won't get credited for at least a week. They charge the $100 cancellation fee immediately as well on the phone instead of just reducing the credit by $100. I am sure they make a ton of money with this practice. So, yes, stupid of me to not catch my mistake, but bad on them for not making it much more obvious that these first two options are for something else; give me a big button that says "Alternate Options" instead of hiding it. I'm sure this is on purpose; a quick $100 for them. Just beware, that's all.

When I called in the associate was extremely helpful and for an additional 100.00 found me a flight. He was helpful except he failed to inform me that my debit card would be billed twice for the airline tickets. American Airlines billed me an additional 535.00 after CheapOair billed me 1204.02. I am so unhappy. I called in the very next morning when the new charge from American Airlines hit my account. This transaction is going to overdraft my account and I was NOT expecting the extra charges. This is so unsatisfactory and troublesome.

One person after an hour picked up the phone and was ready to cancel the ticket and told me he will charge me $75. I insisted that the person told me there would be no charge. And he said OK. And transferred my call without letting me know. I again waited for an hour just to talk to someone and no one responded.

During the time of holding, I was also getting support from the Chat Help. There was a lady who told me she will give one-time exception and will not charge anything. She sent me a one time password over the email and closed the chat window. I had to read the one time password so that they do not charge any fee.

When they email me the ticket I noticed that the ticket number was pending for my infant but there was a charge on the receipt. I called CHEAPOAIR to ask about it and they said we will purchase the infant ticket on the airport. After a few weeks I received an email that HK Airlines change their flight schedule and on the change we will have a 24 hours layover in HK. I accepted the change and asked them to send me the new confirmation. In the confirmation I saw that they already issued a ticket number for my baby and I still saw that there is a charge for it which made me think that everything was settled so I Booked a hotel room in HK for the night and it is non- refundable. So April 29 came for our flight so we checked in but when we are almost ready to board the plane.

    HK airline staff came running after us claiming that they didn't receive payment for my infant, so she told us to hold and call CheapOair to ask able but CHEAPOAIR was taking a long time to resolve the issue that we run out of time. We even asked the airline if we will just pay that moment but they said, “We don't issue ticket here.” She even told us that if we want "3 adults can board the plane but we will leave our baby behind", because his ticket was not paid due to the incompetent CHEAPOAIR's call center agent base in India. We were left by HK Airline and all the faults was with them and with the travel agency. I am demanding 100% refund and they need to pay me the hotel reservation that I lost due to their mistakes.

    I recently had my first experience with Cheapoair. They do offer good deals on flights, and offer many airlines to choose from. I was initially satisfied when I booked my flight. However, 5-6 weeks before my travel date (California-Thailand), I was notified by text message there was an urgent matter and I had to contact a representative. I was told our outgoing flight was cancelled by the airline. I would think this should be an easy matter to resolve, as there were many other flights on different airlines the same day, I thought Cheapoair would let us select another. That's where the trouble began. Apparently, if a flight is cancelled, even that far in advance, Cheapoair will ONLY let you (for free) select another flight by the same airline.

    In our case, I was told I had to wait 24-48 hours for a phone call (which never came) from Cheapoair after they tried to resolve the issue with the airline. After more than 48 hours I received an e-mail with an alternative flight, that was 12 hours later than our initial flight with a 7 hour layover (no thanks!). I called back, was on hold over an hour before being connected with a representative. I requested another flight, and was told we could take one that left the night before our initial travel date and I was satisfied with that. The rep told me in a day or two I would receive a new email with the new itinerary.

    When that email did come, it was WITH THE FLIGHT THAT I DID NOT WANT WITH THE 7 HOUR LAYOVER. What ensued was numerous phone calls back to Cheapoair, talked to multiple people and finally, less than 30 days before my travel date I did receive the new itinerary which was correct. Will never use again, as they are not even that much cheaper than Orbitz or Expedia.

I said I was going to call the airline directly to verify this and see if I had to do that and the representative said, "No - the airline can't help you with this, only we can!"

    I took that as a sign and thankfully I did because the airline updated it so when TSA scanned our tickets, our middle names would pop up and we would be fine for FREE.
