    Most irresponsible hub I’ve ever seen! Do not buy your ticket from them, they canceled my ticket and didn’t rescheduled it until I reached out the airline company and did it myself after 25 days emailing CheapOair and not getting any replies! They simply ruined my trip and after I reached them by Facebook, the reply were so rude and called me liar! Right now I’m writing this I still didn’t get my ticket info and I’m flying in two days! They’re the worst, do not trust them.

    My husband booked a flight for he and I to Las Vegas. Both tickets were put in my husband's name and when we called to have it changed, they said basically we were out of luck, it could not be changed and we could not get a refund. After fighting with them for 2 days, we were told in order for us to get on the same flight, we would have to buy a 3rd ticket with my name on it.

    Again, we asked about receiving a refund for the erroneous ticket. They said that when we booked the flight that we were told about a fee to change the name. If they had told us that, we would have paid that fee which was significantly less than a 3rd ticket. They said if we weren't told about the fee, then they would refund us for the erroneous ticket. They called us back the next day to tell us that the agent had told us about the fee and that no refund would be given. WE WILL NEVER USE THIS SERVICE AGAIN AND WILL TELL ANY AND EVERYONE WE CAN NOT TO USE CHEAPOAIR!!!

    I booked a flight through CheapOair and noticed somehow I had the wrong dates. (My flight booking was a month away from the booking date). Called immediately to change and guess what. $75.00 cancellation fee. I told the guy no way I am going to pay that. Called another agent they said, "We’ll fix it on our end" - the fix was to buy another ticket for $1500.00 and be billed for the first one i.e. a total of $3000.00 on my card but “they would refund me for the first one B/N 7 to 14 days. I requested a number of a supervisor to further discuss the situation and called another agent, of course the guy said, "I’ll help you book another ticket but you have to pay $108.00 difference price," so the crooks do not give up to cheat you with some sort of a scheme so they can extract your money! I will never use that company again!!! CROOKS!!! I am calling the credit card to refuse the charges!!!

    Don't book with CheapOAir - you are better off paying the extra money and booking directly with the website. They charged me $75 for a spelling mistake on a name. I purchased the trip protection plan in case I needed to make any changes as I was booking a ticket for my dad. He got sick and couldn't come on the trip. The trip protection plan and CheapOAir said that there was nothing that could be done and would not allow a transfer of the ticket or a change. The worst customer service ever. Don't book with them!

    Very disappointed in the service. Tried booking a flight to go home on military leave. Was charged over $200 that I shouldn't have been. Called numerous times on numerous days. CheapOair was quick to blame the charge on the airline even though the payment was made and sent to CheapO. Would not help me, and sent me back and forth to different places blaming other people and companies. Was told there was no chance of being refunded. Very frustrating.

    Your service is excellent, except for the payment of a flight. You list, amongst others that payment can be made via PayPal. This not true! Because you then request information of a credit card. I do not have a credit card. I had to use the credit card of a family. So now why and how can you request information from a secondary party on their credit card when you indicate that payment can be made from my PayPal account. That seems to me to be a false declaration that you accept payment from my PayPal account. I will be making another flight booking soon. But it seems that I will have to endure another embarrassing arrangement with another family member. Are you being dishonest to indicate that a payment can be made via my PayPal account. This places your services as a junk status!

    I purchased 2 tickets for my Elderly mother and her twin sister to be able to fly to my home and celebrate their birthdays together. Upon purchase I was told that if I paid extra amounts that it would cover an extra bag for each and assure choice of seating. The phone calls that it took to get seating arrangements totaled 3 and took the MAJORITY of my day to arrange because they kept losing the info. I was also told that I could change the flight or flights if needed for an extra $100 at a later date if my mom or aunt decided they needed to return early.

    When my mom arrived at the airport she was informed her passage did NOT cover any additional luggage. The SAME for my aunt. They ended up paying an extra $60 EACH WAY on TOP of the extra I paid. Then my aunt needed to return to her home a week early due to a personal matter. At this time I called to change the date of my aunt's ticket and they told me it would be $200. I told them that I had already paid EXTRA on the original ticket to be able to change it for $100. At this point the foreign lady on the other end told me in a nutshell I was lying and that she needed to go listen to all of my "recorded" conversations to see if that was what I was told. I told her it was going to take a while and to call me back when she was done. Needless to say she called me back after 20 min and told me she had just listened to the over 2 hours of conversations I had had with their company originally.

    She told me again I was mistaken and then continued to be rude and argue. Finally I said I needed an office in the United States. They gave me a number in which after approximately 8 attempts to get an American agent on the phone I finally gave up and talked to another foreign agent. This was 2 days later. At this point I decided to just pay the $200 to change it. Well, that wasn't good enough. They now wanted $500!!! I told them they were rip offs and dishonest. The man told me that if I called United Airlines they would tell me the same price. So I hung up and CALLED United Airlines right away. They quoted me a price of $200. SO- what originally cost me $445 For a ticket after all of the UPGRADES for FREE luggage, seat arrangements and LOW COST date changes, I ended up paying over NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS $900!!! THAT'S JUST ONE TICKET. I will NEVER EVER use this company again!

    I purchased airline tickets from CheapOair for Southwest Airlines and was told I had 24 hours to cancel. I checked for the same flight on the southwest airlines site and found it was $110 cheaper. So I called to cancel the CheapOair booking and was told it would be $100 to cancel even though it was only 15 minutes since I booked the flight. Cancellations are not free and this site is very deceiving and way overcharging for flights. The representative for the cancellation was also very rude. I will never use them again and advise everyone else to go directly the airline website for cheaper and better service.

    When booking a flight, I didn't realize CheapOAir had changed/substituted different dates/times of travel, and airport selection. I quickly paid and checked out, only to learn, later that day, of the changes. I called within 24 hours, as per CheapOAir's policy. They sent me a Cancellation/Refund receipt. Their policy is 30 day refund. My charge account had not been credited within that time. I disputed the charges and forwarded the Cancellation Receipt and found, in small print, that they had only refunded $9 of my $206 flight. I will never book through CheapOAir again. They make it difficult to impossible to get a refund. I found their practices to be blatantly fraudulent.

    Valerie, our apologies for the inconvenience,. The $9.00 refund was for the insurance you purchased that was refunded immediately, the other cost for the ticket, that comes from the airline Spirit, so that's who you are waiting on for the refund. It can take 30-60 days to see the credit.

    I booked two tickets for a trip to Los Cabos, Mexico. The dates on my reservation were not the one I chose. Instead, were the alternative dates they advertise on top. I was not at all interested in those dates. After I placed my reservation, I didn’t get any email confirming my booking. I only got an email with more options for Los Cabos for those alternative dates, like hotel reservation and car rental. I was wondering why they mentioned those dates so I called them to ask about the dates. They confirmed the reservation was done on the wrong dates. They offered to change them but at a very expensive fare and fee. When I asked for a cancellation they told me there was a fee of $75 each ticket even though they advertise on their website it is possible to cancel within 24h.

    Very misleading because they omitted the cancellation fee. First customer representative I spoke was very rude, he didn’t listen at all. He just said that the message regarding the cancellation doesn’t say is free to cancelled within 24h. When I asked to speak with a supervisor, he transferred my call but I got disconnected. Second call I spoke with a more polite customer representative, he also offered me extremely expensive tickets for the dates I wanted. At the end I cancelled my reservation and ended up paying $50 cancellation fee for each tickets. Very disappointed experience and I truly believe the reservation website switched my dates to the alternative dates without my consent.

    Response from CheapOair

    Marta, our apologies for the inconvenience you have experienced. After further review of the reservation, it was determined that you chose an alternate date that we offered as first choice because the fare was cheaper. We do highlight the flights and also have a pop up on the payment page advising this, and would you like to continue, you didn't select no, so the alternate date you picked did get confirmed. The cancellation policy for 24 hours is not a "law" that travel agencies have to follow, but we do allow the cancellation for a full refund of your ticket purchase, but we do charge a fee for the processing of the cancellation, and refund. We regret the policy is an inconvenience, but we would certainly be willing to assist you with changing the dates that work best for you.

    This site was so easy and cheap to book with I knew it was too good to be true. I arrived today at the airport in Chicago expecting to take off to Sydney Australia. But when I got to go check in they told me there was a problem with my visa and I needed to contact them. I didn’t fix the problem in time so I had to call CheapOair and cancel my flight which was also easily taken care of by the lady I spoke with.

    After being on hold for about 15 minutes she comes back in and tells me out of my $900 something flight I will be refunded back $700 something but she needs my credit card to do so because they can’t refund me how I paid which was through PayPal. Which didn’t make sense but okay I just wanted my refund and wanted to be done with it. I don’t travel with my credit card and was stranded in an airport and asked her if I could call back later and talk to her so she could give me the refund.

    She said she would call me back in about an hour and we could talk then. She did call me back but sadly I still wasn’t home and I told her I would just call the company back later and deal with it then. So when I called back about an hour ago I was told that yes I would be getting back $700 something refunded to my PayPal (which earlier I was told wasn’t possible) but that they do need my credit card because they need me to pay a $250 cancellation fee! Hell no! Okay the lady I talked to earlier made it seem like me getting back 700 out of 900 was because the cancellation fee was taken out of the 900. I will not be paying $500 to get a refund for a 900 flight that makes no absolute sense!

    Then when I told the customer service agent what I was told earlier by the lady he didn’t understand and kept telling me he won’t be refunding me until I pay a cancellation fee. I asked to speak to a supervisor so he put me on hold and then comes back and tells me he’s transferring me to another department. Then the same thing happens with the lady I talk to next. She refuses to solve my problem and refuses to understand that I was misinformed and given the wrong information.

    So I ask to speak with a supervisor again and I get put on hold again! And then the lady comes back and tells me they’re going to review my phone call earlier to see if that’s what the lady “really” said. And I would be notified in about 2 days on the status on my refund. And I bet when I get the call they’re going to say, "Well you still need to pay the extra 250." Both the agents were rude and uncaring. They had no interest in solving my problem and neither of them got me a supervisor to talk to when I asked for one. They were unprofessional and I will never book with this company again. This is the worst experience I’ve ever had!!! Save yourself the trouble and book somewhere else! The tickets are cheap for a reason!

    Virginia,basic economy is the lowest of fares on United and does not allow any refunds, or changes, therefore cancellations within 24 hours of booking is all that was applicable. Not sure why the agent couldn't send the itin when you called, but when tickets are issued you automatically get an itinerary emailed, and you can also access it off our website. But we appreciate the feedback,.

    I just booked a flight and noticed the dates were off by a day, despite my certainty that I clicked the correct calendar days. I called and spoke to 6 different people, 3 who impersonated a "supervisor". They said they would charge me $50/person to cancel despite their website stating "24 hour cancellation - Book with confidence." This is completely misleading advertising. They said, "Well if you click on that you would see that you will be charged a cancellation fee." Then I spoke to Aldren on the phone who said he could not get me the same reduced fee that I found on Kayak but that if I book on Kayak he would give a full refund. Thus proving that he is capable of giving a full refund.

    I booked and right after I booked he said "Sorry, you booked through Kayak but they booked through another service so we can't honor it." Then he said "We can charge you $75 dollars", as if to up the negotiation. I will be contacting the better business bureau and posting this note everyone I can. This is a horrible company with low ethics. Just go to Kayak or type in google "airfare: LOCATION TO/FROM".

    I am a UC Berkeley student studying abroad in Brazil. CheapOair has been my number one go to for all my travel needs since the beginning of my experience abroad. I currently have 3 flights booked through this company including destinations to Iguassu Falls, Manaus, and Fortaleza. It's safe to say I'm a dependable source a business and a loyal client. I expected to receive the same in return from the travel agency, both: dependability and loyalty. But after my most recent experience with this company, it is clear CheapOair is neither dependable nor devoted to their customers. My mother booked my flight back to California through CheapOair about a month ago.

    It has been a hellish month since. As she has been jumping through hoops for weeks to resolve an error that should have been fixed long ago. As a result of experiencing recent family adversity, my mother has not been in the right head-space. She made the careless mistake of making the flight reservation under my first name but under her last name. Thus registering the passenger as "Michelle **". I do not bare my mother's last name and so cannot board the flight under that name. She realized her mistake and contacted CheapOair immediately to see what could be done fix it.

    A customer representative informed us that nothing could be done through CheapOair given that it's a travel agency and not an airline. A request was sent to their concern team who directed a request for alteration of information to the airline and pledged to change the reservation once documentation was submitted via fax.

    A copy of my passport was faxed AND emailed September 28, still to no avail. It is now October 22, the flight has not been updated and no changes made on the reservation. I called many times since and have been given a different story every time: "The fax machine is out of service", "You must wait 2 weeks for the change to be processed", "Wait 3 more working days", and now that, "No changes can be made to the reservation because the request was not submitted within 72 hours of purchase". Although, in fact, it was. I contacted both CheapOair and the airline once again today. They have no record of anything. No documentation. No alteration request. Nothing.

    The only help CheapOair was able to offer was to send yet ANOTHER request to their concern team to repeat the same faulty process all over again -or- buy another ticket altogether, lose the $950 paid on this fair. I'm back to where I was 2 months ago looking for flights to return home with less time, less money, higher prices and with the same uncertainty whether anything will actually be done on CheapOair's account so that I can board the plane I already paid for.

    It's both ridiculous and unprofessional how CheapOair blames the airline and the airline blames the travel agency but neither is capable of offering a solution. Is changing a last name really that hard? Needless to say, I am beyond disappointed with CheapOair and will no longer be booking any flights through this agency. What is more, is that it's the clients that suffer the full repercussion of their incompetence and unwillingness to help.

    I was very disappointed with my round-trip flights (leaving and returning) because I was not allowed to take my carry on bag on the plane as requested. I ask to have a carry on bag on all flights and was promised I would by CheapOair. I felt I paid for that as other flights were cheaper but didn't offer a carry on bag. Now the gentlemen I spoke with on the phone representing CheapOair was very patient, helpful and courteous during my process of obtaining round-trip tickets for my husband and I. It was my first time ordering tickets through CheapOair and I was VERY disappointed that I could not take my carry on bag on the plane as I had my laptop in it and I have seen how luggage is thrown under the planes and it could have been broken. So glad it wasn't but if it had been...well I guess that would be my problem!

    I will not be ordering any more tickets through CheapOair as I can order them myself since I did not get what I paid for or was promised. Actually, I could have ordered the same tickets online myself and saved $150 in total. Same tickets being, same date, time and flights...it just said the flights didn't allow for carry-on bags. I called CheapOair a few days after returning home to first ask about the charges on my credit card because they were broke up and my husband wasn't sure why. I called and spoke with a gentleman and he informed me that is just how the charges are done. Ok I do not have a problem with that. I also informed him about my carry on bag and he apologized but offered nothing to compensate my disappointment. So I will not be booking any more flights with CheapOair. Very disappointed in Arkansas.

    Terrible website. They are crooks. I can't believe how terrible their customer service is and the fact that they took advantage of their crappy website changing dates on me workout me every running my search again. I had double checked everything, stepped away to get my credit card. When I came back my phone screensaver had come on so I just hit a button website still up, go ahead and enter my credit card. After everything goes through my email confirmation says different dates for my what I originally picked so I immediately call customer service not even 10 minutes has passed and I'm being told it's going to be a $100 charge to change the dates. Even though the flight that I wanted was cheaper than the one I got.

    I had made a mistake and said it was $20 more when in fact it was $20 cheaper so then the rep tries to charge me the hundred dollars plus $40 difference in the flight even though I'm staring at the website and I'm like how is that possible. I of course just go into a rant because they're clearly just trying to take advantage of my mistake and make more money so he goes and ask his manager and that you waive quote unquote the $40 difference. Oh thank you so much but of course I still get charged $100. I just think it's ridiculous that I had a mishap with the website and it cost me $100. I would have just cancelled it if it wouldn't have been $100 to cancel as well.

    I am new to CheapOair. I rarely fly since I am caretaker to my 90 year old mother. A friend asked if I would accompany her on a trip and she directed me to call CheapOair to book the same flights she had booked. Overall the agent was helpful helping me find the flights and prices. I booked two flights on Frontier... round trip between Philadelphia and Tampa. The agent neglected to talk to me about my baggage needs which I found out was a problem.

    A few days later I went onto Frontier's site to find out how many bags I was allowed. I discovered that I had to purchase baggage. I booked a suitcase for $38 each way. However, according to Frontier's site, booking baggage at the time you book your tickets is discounted by $13 per bag. Had I been informed and advised to book baggage at the time of my ticket booking, my baggage would have cost $26 less, so using CheapOair cost me an extra $26 by not providing the baggage option and price information when I booked. That $26 could have gone to the purchase of my tickets.

    This company is not BBB accredited and has never even applied for accreditation because CheapOair is in the FEE industry, more interested a abstracting your cancellation fee than providing any goods or services. This company should lose all affiliations with the TRAVEL & airline industry... For every service my trip needed: flight, car rental, & hotel their website baited me then when the confirmation came EACH ITEM either changed completely or cost an absurd amount more. As soon as my payment to CheapOair post for the flight their representatives must have called my phone 11 times back to back forcing me to answer the call. I thought this was highly suspect because I've made many flight reservations and never am I called, immediately after booking, by the booking agent/airline.

    It was a CheapO representative explaining my travel dates were outside their FLEX DATES and to accommodate me, my flight from FL to Canada cost $261 more per/person. Of course I thought they were joking, so I said No! to that and even requested a refund since I had no need for the so called flex dates. They told me, "Cancellation fee was $100." Mind you, this bogus reservation was just done 6 minutes prior. So right at this moment CHEAPOAIR has not refunded me a dime, and made a $100 refund fee off me in just 6 minutes, all from the classic "bait and switch"! My advice: Spend your money somewhere else!!! And this whole vetting process to just write a review proves they're of bad reputation.

    I called CheapOair on several occasions to try to get my money back. My son called as well for me with no success, They said that was not medical!!! I could see them keeping my money if the flight was a week away or even three weeks but from the time I started calling it was 7 months away and it is still six months away. It's not like the tickets will not sail in those 7 months. I feel I have been taken advantage of and our hard earned fixed income money has been taken from us. I do not want to use the word stolen but in all actuality it has!!! I could get doctor statements whatever they needed! I Just Want My Money Back!

    We booked our trip to SE Asia and am in the middle of trying to cancel it. It has been 2 weeks since the first time we called and we haven't been able to get a straight answer. The first time, they put us on hold for an HR and HUNG UP. The second time, they transferred us to the supervisor and told us that they started a refund request with the airline and that they would call us back in 2 days.

    No call back from them. We call them back again and this time, they tell us that we can either wait another 3 days or cancel the flight with unknown cancellation fee. Why is it SO HARD to even get a straight answer? It makes me think that this company is doing this on purpose so they can wear you out so you won't continue trying to get your money back. Never booking with them again.

    I made reservations through CheapOair at the last minute to fly my daughters out of Florida as Hurricane Irma approached. All flights were then cancelled out of the entire airport. American Airlines, being the excellent company it is, immediately gave me a refund of $1200. I paid for the two tickets and was very concerned about the safety of my daughters.

    CheapOair, on the other hand, said, not only did they have no feeling about my daughters' safety, they said, "You will never get a credit for the $60 booking fee paid directly to us no matter what you do or say... even if the flight was canceled!" I guess $60 was a cheap price to pay for a valuable lesson! I will never use CheapOAir again and neither should you! I can't believe companies like this still exist in this day and age...

    I was trying to get 4 tickets to Cancun before submitting. Called rep at CheapOair. Said didn't have passports with me. Not sure if middle name spelled out or initial. Told me put initial look at passport & call back tomorrow if correction necessary. I called next day to change to full middle name and was told can't do without fee. I told them to cancel tickets & they advised me also fee.

    I spent 1 hr on phone going from person to person. They finally got approval to cancel and told me would only be $5 fee. However to date already lost $36 on protection insurance refund and am waiting to see what they are going to refund on actual tickets? What a scam this company is. Not concerned about customer looking to make money anyway they can SHOULD be shut down. I should have read all the horrible reviews prior to using them.

    BE AWARE!!! Never call to book ticket from CheapOair/OneTravel. If you have trouble book tickets from CheapOair/OneTravel website, you call the listed number on their website, you will be sent to Indian calling center. They will book tickets for you with much high price. They charge high service fee without inform you clearly and won't let you cancel it free even within 24 hours.

    In the afternoon of Oct 15, 2017, I tried to book 5 tickets flying from Madurai India to New Delhi on a direct flight of Air India #9016. On CheapOair website it showed there are 6 tickets left. After typing all names, birthdays and credit card information. I got a message that tickets not available. So, I called 888-574-1291 listed on CheapOair website at 6:50pm. I got an energetic girl answered my call. At first, she told me that $110 tickets are not available anymore. They are $140 now. I agreed to purchase 5 tickets with that price. She put me on hold on/off for over 15 min and let me know that she is calling airline companies to secure 5 seats.

    After half hour, she told me there is no 5 direct flight tickets available. The best flight fits to my schedule is a connection flight from Jet Airway #2344 & #799. When I asked about the ticket price, she told me that total is $921 for 5 ticket which is $184.2 each. She told me that includes fee and tax, and emphasized that only limited number of tickets available. She hurried me to make decision, I thought tax and fee included are from airline company. I agreed and she booked 5 tickets, this phone call lasted about 50 min. See attached image PhoneRec1. When I got confirmation email, I found it was from OneTravel, not from CheapOAir. Then I got an email from my credit card company CapitalOne asking confirmation about a $225 charge from CheapOair, there is another $696 charge from Jet Airway for 5 tickets, each for $139.20. I also got an email from CheapOAir which stated that my booking is incomplete. I am so confused.

    At 10pm I called the same phone number again, question about the booking company, tickets and $225 charge. The girl told me she works for both CheapOAir and OneTravel. My tickets are confirmed. When I ask about $225 charge, she immediately transferred me to customer service department. Then a man told me that $225 is the service fee for 5 tickets which I agreed when she told me included fee and tax. When I asked to cancel the booking because the price of the same flight on OneTravel website is about $160, he told me there is no free cancellation even within 24 hours. But he can try to switch me back to Air India direct flight and refund me partial service charge. I was on hold for an hour, end up he told me he can do nothing. But he can transfer me to another customer service manager. That was 11pm, I was tired and very upset, I hung up.

    On Oct 16, 2017, when I got home after work, I got this phone number from CapitalOne credit company 800-428-8821. I called 3 time at 6:06pm, 6:11pm and 6:14pm, all of them were disconnected while in waiting. Then I called 800-425-4567 which I found on the confirmation email. Again, I got transferred 3 times and finally got hold on to a customer service manager. I told him that I agreed purchase 5 tickets and never agreed to pay $45 service fee for a $140 ticket.

    He told me, since I admitted that I agreed purchase those 5 tickets, so I am “genuine”. He will make an exception for me, refund me $50. I told him that I agreed to pay the same price listed on OneTravel website at that moment, $160. He should refund me $125, otherwise I want to cancel the booking free within 24 hours. Again, he told me cancellation is not free, need pay an administration fee. I questioned him about the “genuine” of the website. He put me on hold for more than 10 min and came back told me that the girl agreed to cut her commission to $25 per ticket, he will refund me $100. After 40 min on the phone arguing, I gave up.

    On Oct 18, 2017, I got $100 refund confirmation email. Now I paid $165 for Jet Airways connection flight after a long hard fight. As of today, on CheapOair/OneTravel website, there are still 6 tickets available for that Air India flight 9016 for $114. Why can't I get the direct flight with lower price? If there is no tickets, why the website have not updated for 3 days? Is this an acceptable business practice? I want to give a 0 star rating if that is an option.

    I'm not sure how patient is too patient... At this time I have been on the phone on hold for over an hour. This is my 4th call for the day. I booked travel back in July for travel this weekend. Yesterday, I received an email advising that there was a change to my itinerary that I needed to accept. When I accepted the change I called to make sure everything was ok. I was advised that the layover time was incorrect (On an itinerary change that CheapOair gave me) and that I would be contacted back in 24 hours. I called back today since I had not received a callback and got an agent by the name of Hazel who advised me rather rudely that I would just have to wait. I asked for her supervisor and she asked for what then hung up. I called back again and got another agent named Dane who had a long hold as well. Still on hold for an hour 15 minutes now.

    The last agent I spoke to said that my flights are not correct. She said that one flight leaves at 2 pm on the 23rd and my connecting flight from my next stop leaves at 8 am... on the 23rd. I feel as a paying customer I deserve to at least have my itineraries correct so I'm aware of what happens when I travel (I am heading to a destination where I will not have cell service). I'm just trying to confirm my travel but have no help!

    Once tickets are issued you have 24 hours to cancel to receive a refund of the airline tickets, however, there is a cancellation fee that is mentioned. This fee is for the processing of the cancellation and refund,. it does take time, and alot of work behind the scene. We do regret that it can be an inconvenience at times, too avoid this, we suggest you review your purchase before submitting that book button and make sure everything is in order.

    I found the cost of the trip to be a good value. The person who helped arrange the itinerary to DC was well informed. All connections took place as planned and expected with the exception of some problems on the return trip which is in no way connected to CheapOair but rather the airline itself. My one surprise was that I was booked into Reagan Airport for arrival which allowed me a good connection to the DC metro but was booked for a return flight through Dulles which was early enough on a Sunday AM so that metro was not a option. I had to take a much more expensive shuttle to get to Dulles. I think even getting to Reagan would have been a problem. The overall service and performance were fine and I would consider using CheapOair again.

    I booked flights through CheapOair, the system kept offering a lower price at a later departing date. I went back twice to my original departing date and bought tickets. I receive a confirmation that the departure date was two days later. I called the company and was told that if I needed to cancel, there would be a charge of $50/PER PERSON. After talking to many people, among those, Naomi, Chris **, Clint **, Vera (supervisor who never came to the phone) and finally George **, I was able to obtain a cancellation of $25 PER PERSON, a $75 charge for a transaction that occurred seconds before. This is a very misleading practice, as they never make you aware of the cancellation fee. Even when I called immediately after receiving the confirmation of my tickets, they refused to waive the fee. I was only able to talk to people who seemed to be overseas. BEWARE OF THIS BUSINESS. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

    Very sorry for the booking experience, Customer chose alternate date because it was the cheapest flight shown first in the availability. We do alert our customers in 2 different places once they have chosen an alternate date, to make sure they want to continue with the flight's they booked for a savings of $$ or do you want your original option. They stayed with the savings. Also, the very back payment page tells you again you have chosen alternate dates. Displaying alternate dates helps those who may be flexible in their dates, but don't always think to check surrounding dates. The rule is, double check, review, look over what you are choosing before hitting that submit button, and read the print of what you are actually agreeing to. Less issues in the long run!

    The refund has been placed on Oct 5 and does come directly from the airline. Customer called on sept 20 and advised the airline canceled the flight and at that time the airline was not offering refunds, only waiving the exchange fee. We had to work with AA.com to see about getting the refund as a "favor" that is why it took from Sept 20-Oct 5 to hear back, The refund was processed and sent back to AA to apply the refund,. It can take 30-60 days for the credit to appear due to multiple steps it needs for processing. Our apologies for his inconvenience.

I spent hours playing that game until I went to "CHEAPOAIR.COM". Almost instantly I was ticketed! I ignored 2 phone calls while dealing with a Chinese airline attempting to get seat assignments. YES, the calls were from "CHEAPO" wanting to know if they could help with that same thing. I can't tell you how reassuring to hear a knowledgeable, friendly, real person confirm my online booking but assist me getting the best seats available. She was fantastic!!

    Traveled to Ecuador this spring [2017] & stayed 3 months. I found that customer service helpful but one can stay on phone for an hour, quicker online searches. All were courteous though. On return, we were stuck in Quito Airport for 10 hrs. No fault of CheapOair, did not want to do bus ride from So. Ec. so flew from Catomayo [only one flight daily]. However when we arrived in Quito & tried to confirm return ticket on American Airlines, there were no A.A. techs opened until an hour before flight. And when we tried to confirm at kiosk we came up empty, needless to say, it was a long anxious wait. At the last minute, we did get a boarding pass, to be honest, I do not know what happened as my bill was paid months in advance. We had to go to security to allow us into downstairs offices [which many were closed or did not speak English.

    I had not flown in many years & to be honest, I am not e-ticket savvy so perhaps I didn't reaffirm. I don't remember if CheapOair helped me resolve or A.A. but if you are very patient [which is a must in Ecuador} and gracious all should go well. I did have to pay $100 extra for adding our middle initials but again, my fault for not reading fine print or asking questions because I was impatient with not understanding accents or feeling time pressure to hurry along, this mistake happened when I was speaking with customer service initially, also another reason to do things on-line so every line is crossed & dotted.

    Even though the correction was almost immediately addressed there was still a charge {rip-off in my opinion, but corp America works like this now]. Keep copies of booking #, flight #'s. Be prepared, the more information you hold onto the more useful for communication down the road. My phone was dead when I arrived in airport, couldn't access emails, etc.

    The customer purchased a basic economy ticket that many airlines are now offering for a cheaper fare. This fare is non refundable, and does not allow any changes, or checked bags. This is the fare Candice purchased, and therefore when she called to make changes, she was told that her ticket credit has no value because it;s not changeable. The conference call between her, the agent, and the airline employee told her exactly what we did, and that she would have to upgrade to a higher fare basis, customer ended up rebooking a new reservation directly with United airline, we have not idea what they ended up charging her.

    So it wasn't that we didn't want to help, she was frustrated due to the fact she selected a ticket that does not allow changes.

    Today afternoon my friend booked two tickets (For me and him) but forgot to change the USD to AUD and it was saying 24 hours cancellation so I was like if we won't be happy and will find cheaper option then we can cancel it. (Actually the price was shown in 675 USD but we thought that it is in AUD. At the end when I calculated it was 850 AUD, I was already having option of 785 AUD from the other website for the same itinerary). But when we came to know that we paid in USD and called them in half an hour they said you need to pay 75 USD as a cancellation charge per ticket, which was totally ridiculous.

    Then after I called to select the seats and meals, the guy asked that there will be charge of 15$ to select a seat in advance. Then he put my call on hold and came back and said I asked my supervisor and he said there is some offer going on so you will be charged only 9 USD. I asked him "you guys already cheated us with your big FAKE ADVERTISEMENT saying '24 HOURS CANCELLATION' and now you are asking for some more money." I end up with saying him just forgot the seat selection and go for meals option. And again of course not satisfied with their options and at the end left with no choice. So I had to choose that main meal without arguing anything as nothing left to argue on.

Only phone no email despite sending emails so I called my cc to decline so she said she doesn't see the charges so I thought that it was canceled. Few months later received the cc invoice. With the ticket price wasn't refunded, I tried to dispute. Their only reason was that their policy is that ticket is non-refundable but I called during the window time.

When looked on my bank statement saw a charge of 176 and an extra charge of 200$ which was out of nowhere. Tried to fight back the surcharge but I was always transferred from department to department and everyone would tell me different things.

    Was lied that the matter is being investigated. When I called in for details a week later - the other agent would say, "Oh, the money were returned to your bank account". When checking the bank account - nothing was returned! I call back. The other agent would be like, "Nobody initiated an investigation, there is no request for this booking #." After a looot and a lookout time wasted on the phone-still no clear answer on what is going on.

    First, they don't have free cancellation within 24 hours while other websites do. They didn’t mention that on your booking page as well, very tricky. I just realized that my daughter school starts sooner than I expected so I called to cancel the ticket within 1 hour. Then I was told the cancellation fee is $75 per ticket. I told them, in US, by law, if you cancel within 24 hours, you cannot charge a fee. The customer service told me, "Well, the airline cannot charge by law, but CheapOair can."

    It is a service fee… But she suggested me (the customer service remains good attitude), "You can change the date with no extra service fee but just need to pay the price difference." I even repeated to make sure no extra fee involved. My booking is for family of 4, $75 is really pricey, so I did choose to change date. And she told me, for new dates, there will be extra $35 per ticket, I was shocked… I am currently on the Expedia website now but same itinerary is not only $35 more expensive but cheaper than my original itinerary. I told the agent regarding to the price on Expedia, She told me, there is nothing she can do, this is the price she saw from her system. – I have no choice.

    Then I filed a best price guarantee claim right away, after I received the confirmation of my new itinerary at 4:03 pm. (I took the screenshot same day at 4:57 pm/central time from Expedia as to make sure that I found the better price within 24 hours after my booking was made.) The person Riddhi who handled this claim replied me that the ticket was confirmed after 5 pm, so she cannot honor me the price difference due to that.

    I was really upset, I sent her the confirmation I received and the phone conversation that I had with agent to confirm this new booking is ever sometime earlier than this email confirmation (and I believe all the phone are recorded for quality assurance, they should be able to find out easily). Riddhi said she can do nothing but submitted all the information to Supervisor desk and they will contact me within 24 hours or I can call customer service.

    And it has been 46 hours now, no one contact me and I called customer service, they said no notes on my booking so they cannot do anything… Riddhi does replied my email with good attitude but nothing she can help. I didn’t get any contact who can handle this case that I can follow up with but can just wait for their call. I don’t know if their system has issues regarding to what time the ticket was confirmed. But I do have the proves and records for them to verify, I am very sure that I qualified what they need for BRG.

    Spending hours in few days but goes to nowhere. I feel this company is not honest regarding the information provided on the website (cancellation fee), timing that they promised to get back to you, ticket confirmation system and BRG policy. It has been few years since last time I use their service, I am really hoping they could get my trust back. And someone is going to reach me SOON on positive response on BRG claim. Or I will never buy from this company and share my experience with my friend and on the communities too.

    Yu Ling, unfortunately you do not qualify for the bpg because you are adding in the change penalty into the total price and you can't do that. You can only compare the original ticket cost which is the same price as expedia. When you agreed to make the date change, the airline has a penalty of 100.00 therefore you cannot add that to the airfare, that is separate. Our apologies for any inconvenience.

Our company has a processing fee which covers the processing of the refund, cancellation, and the paper work involved.

    Mr.Feldhaus, we have gone over this with you several times since you booked this August 15. You have not been overcharged, and we have reviewed the calls and the agent explained to you the ticket cost was $168.20 per person onway, you have been charged $336.40 for 2 tickets total, taxes and fees in which you agreed to pay. You called us on 8/22 a week after the booking to question the cost, You had seat assignment fee of $29.95 extra which we refunded you that day, therefore the 336.40 was the total, with no extras. You booked another reservation in which that was also gone over with you, and again, the price quoted is what you were charged. If you had a question about the cost, or found a lower fare for this oneway ticket, you have to inform us within 24 hours and provide the screen shots of a lower fare and it had to be available for the exact same dates, and airlines. It was a week later, therefore bpg is no longer applicable. Several supervisors reviewed the call, our billing team went over the individual charges, and there is no error on our part. Actually airfares had gone up now, being a week later. $168.00 to florida is a great rate!

I did not click on the pop up but when I got to the end of my booking I noticed the alternative dates had been put in not the dates I chose. I immediately called CheapOair and was told I would need to pay a additional 133 to change to the correct dates. I immediately stated, "No thanks. I would like to cancel my flight." and was told I would be charged 50 to cancel. I complained but finally agreed to pay the 50. Mind you they took 295 from my PayPal account. The representative/supervisor I spoke with Ivan stated I needed to give her my credit card information so they could charge me a additional 50 fee to cancel.

    When I explained that I paid with PayPal and that I was uncomfortable giving my credit card information since they had already charged me 295 she stated they could not take the 50 from the money they took from me. She stated she would check with her supervisor to see if they could take the 50 from the funds they had already taken from me and she would call me back. A day went by with no return phone call so I called again in the am only to be told they did not cancel the flight and I would not be refunded any of my money. CheapOair uses fraudulent practices to ROB people. I have disputed this with PayPal and my bank and still haven’t received a refund since Sept 19th. I will never use them again.

    I have purchased a trip to Bucharest, Romania through this company. First surprise was at the airport (JFK) when I was told that my checked in suitcase it will need to be retrieved in Paris and re-checked to final destination!!! I only had 90 minutes to get my suitcase, re-check, go through security and make it to the terminal. It was a challenge and without the help of a wonderful airport staff in Paris that did all the checks and walk me through security to the gate, I probably was not able to make the flight. I called Customer Service and an individual with a heavy east Indian accent started to scream at me saying that I choose that flight and is not CheapOair fault even that on the booking was never mention that I have to re-check my luggage.

    I will not recommend this Company at all, it is a hassle to try to get someone at the end of the customer service line that speaks English, they do have an attitude and not willing or trying to help at all. The second problem that I had on this trip was related to the car rental that I have booked with CheapOair. I got the car in the airport and with no hassle, but the next day I got a notification from my Credit Card for the charge and I noticed that I was charged an EXTRA amount of 416.41USD than the CheapOair quoted me on my reservation!!! On top of everything on the next day on the National TV was a report about this car rental company (Mex) where it was presented how they are scamming tourists coming from US by overcharge the CC without their knowledge or charging them imaginary damages to the rental cars.

    I called CheapOair car rental support and no surprise the same East Indian representative told me that is nothing they can do because they only charged 8$ their commission and they are not responsible. I did told them that the rental car company is a fraudulent business and the only reason I am in trouble now is because I found/booked them from the CheapOair web page. The second person that I spoke with took my e-mail address and asked me for copies of the CC receipt, promised me that he will look into it and will send me an e-mail with the result of the investigation. Now a month later I am only receiving spam e-mail every day and on the CheapOair web page the first choice for renting a car in Otopeni, Bucharest is the scam rental company that stole over 400$ from me.

    Is clear that CheapOair is only interested in making a huge profit without caring what happening to their clients after they got their money. I was at least expecting them to remove the fraudulent car rental company (Mex) from their web page but not even that happened. Shame on you CheapOair for doing business with type of crooks.

    I can't express how incredibly disappointed and disgusted I am with this company. I will absolutely never ever book or refer business with them ever again. I booked an international flight and the booking agent was very kind and helpful on the call, however he missed to tell me the fine prints before my credit card was processed for the payment. Also the 24 hour cancellation policy was promoted with no string attached, leading to the assumption that it really means what another competing website is offering. Unfortunately for me I had to ask for a cancellation for one of the connecting flights and then I found out all the hidden cost involved and realized how difficult it is to deal with them.

    I learnt of the cancellation fee for the first time (which makes no sense if you are promising 24 hour cancellation). Also it’s a huge amount as I have 5 tickets involved here. All of a sudden the nice rep started to put the blame on me - you asked me to do this and you asked to do that. I am sure he has a different story in his notes where I asked him to do everything and I brought this unfortunate experience upon myself.

    The supervisor came on line to mediate, he asked me to send him screen shots and provided an email address, he confirmed receiving and reading the email while I was still on the phone call and promised he would get back to me with an update and the maximum time it would take would be 45 mins to an hour, it’s been more than 6 hours, no call or email update has come through. Unfortunately again, I also have an email delivery failure (mail address not found and email was not delivered) for the email that I sent. I am surprised that the supervisor confirmed receipt.

    I was first disappointed that I am stuck with a deal that I don’t want and I cannot cancel without shelling out more money and I was okay with that one bad experience and a lesson for life. However, now I am disgusted that the rep and the supervisor pretended to help resolve the issue only to ensure that I lose the 24 hour deadline and to plug any gaps in their story. I have followed up ever since with other reps and they were ZERO help. Interestingly enough these are all verbal communications (so it will most likely end up being she said, he said but then you said kind of a story). I booked these flights 40 days in advance to avoid any hassle, I will have to live through this experience every day for the next 3 months till I am back home again.

They assured me that they could hold my rates until I used my limits which I did. When I called back the agent told me the rates had changed and it would cost me 200$ more than my original quote. I specifically asked this agent not to cancel my returning flight and that I would call them back. I then proceeded to call the airlines who confirmed my original rates.

    Because I needed to book quickly or seats would be gone I booked directly with the agent at the airlines. My payment was processed and I was issued a confirmation code. I then called CheapOair back to make sure my returning flight was secured. This agent was mad because I had booked my own arriving flight and told me I had to pay him fees ranging between 28$-133$. He also insisted on me giving him a verbal confirmation to cancel my flights. Which I refused. I then told the agent I was done talking with him and called my returning flight airline to ensure I still had it. While on the phone with them they said it's funny someone is canceling your flights as we speak.

    Luckily they were able to just book the flight again. However my card was charged a second time. My two flights were booked through separate airlines and while I def. had a way home, little did I know CheapOair sneakily went behind my back and canceled my flight that I personally booked directly through the other airline. (Thank God I checked before arriving the next day). After I was told by the airline that my flight had been canceled by CheapOair and that they no longer had seats available I called CheapOair back. Now it's Monday afternoon I'm still home and spent my entire weekend on the phone talking with agents as well as supervisors at CheapOair and no one cared that I have paid for a resort and a return flight and cannot even get to my destination.

    Plus because of all the charges to my credit card, that have yet to be refunded I no longer have the necessary funds to go on vacation. Cheapoair was unsympathetic and in fact told me in a roundabout way that I was annoying them and no longer had the patience nor the time to deal with my misfortune. I strongly advice anyone looking to travel to make certain not to use CheapOair as your travel agent. They actually canceled my flight without my verbal consent and have destroyed my dream vacation. I'm not only losing money but also time with family. And it's time I'll never get back.

    I had to evacuate by car due to Irma. Delta was great canceling a trip BUT when I was scheduled to return to Naples I had to drive my car back to Naples. I tried and gave many hours on the phone to CHEAPOAIR and was promised by a supervisor SUSIE that if I called back on the 25th they would credit my card but she wanted to wait until then as she thought the airline would be more likely to give them money back. She promised by a credit. I am now on hold again for hours as they listen to the conversation I had with Susie. BAD CUSTOMER RELATIONS. I CAN PROMISE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE ME A REFUND. THEY HAVE BEEN RUDE AND TAKEN SO MUCH OF MY TIME. Will never give them my business again. NOT WORTH IT.

    I can only refrain from people booking with CheapOair! I booked a flight with them in May 2017 for the travel date of September 2017! The airline cancelled my returning flight three weeks before my travel date. When I originally called (the same day I heard online about the canceled flights) I was informed it to stay calm. In within 7 business days I will have a returning flight booked around the same day as my original return date! 5 days before my travel date I have still not received any information about my return flight so I called again. I was on hold for about an hour before being told there within 24 to 48 hours I should have an invite via email. My new return date was now 4 days after flying out to Europe! When I called to say that this is unacceptable I was informed that that's the only flight I can take or I can get a full refund without a penalty!

    I was encouraged to book a new flight, due to receiving the refund! I did so and cancelled the original flight I booked in May! 4 days later I called the company again because I have still not received an email confirmation about the cancellation of my flight and was informed (only by calling them myself) during that call after waiting on hold for about an hour again that I will not receive a refund and my flight was not cancelled!

    I have been on the phone with this company the last 4 days before my travel trip to Europe with my infant daughter everyday trying to get answers on why I was told to get my money back. Rebooked a complete new flight and now I'm being told that I will not receive any money back! Every time I call I am on hold forever and nobody seems to communicate with each other as I am constantly being told my return flight was changed to 4 days after leaving for Europe! I am insured that they will listen to the tapes of my conversation but next time I call that seems to have never even been talked about! I informed them I rebooked to go to Germany with new dates and I am receiving a call back at midnight just for them to tell me the same info they told me 6 days ago! I am frustrated, exhausted and pissed at how they do business and their customer service!

    I purchase two non refundable tickets on July 13, 2017. After I received my booking confirmation I notice the dates was wrong. They corrected the dates for an increase in the fare and send me another confirmation with one of the names misspelled. I call back to correct the misspelled name. I was told that I would has to buy another ticket and the price would go up plus for the name to be corrected I would have to pay 50.00, but I would has to wait five day days before they would let me know whether it could be done, after five days I call back just to be told to wait three more days. I asked was it so hard to change a name. I was told that it's difficult to get a misspelled name changed due to the airline. All of this was not my fault because I put in everything correct. I even spoke to custom, spelled the names with the correct date and still came back wrong.

    I had to buy another set of tickets directly from the airline that We was traveling on. I lost my money with CheapOair. 436.00 because the tickets was non refundable. I think they did this on purpose with the going up of the tickets and not changing the name so you can lose your money. My sister and I are both seniors and really did not have 436.00 to just lose like that. Although I will to cooperate with them with paying the increase because I didn't want to lose my money. I call my PayPal credit card to try to get my refund back after I had to buy more tickets but was still unable to get my money back because they say I fly on the dates using their tickets plus. I provided proof to my PayPal of the tickets I purchase but they say I had to have proof of CheapOair promising to refund my money, which I only had word of mouth and I did not recorded conservation. This company is fraud. Stay away from.

But even they don't have for 5 but for one person so you should match the price but he refused and told me you can cancel reservations without any fees if not satisfied. I said, "Ok I will cancel it."

    He transferred me to other line. She told me there is $75/person cancellation fee. I told her that, "You guys are not matching the price that's why I am cancelling." But she said no she can't do it without cancellation fee. She advised me to send email and screenshots of other app to match the price which I did but still they didn't do the price matching which is a shame.

    I had worst experience with CheapOair. I had flight booking from Toronto to Ahmadabad month ago. Due to some reason, I had to change my booking dates but in the end, I had to cancel my ticket and had to pay cancellation charge (I canceled my ticket within 5 hours of booking). Then I had talk with customer representative and I booked new ticket. And I had to cancel that as well because I was not told that I need Abu Dhabi visa if stay is longer than 8 hours. I paid cancellation charge again so in the end I had no flights booked and I was down with $125.

    P.S. In this kind of situation customer need good suggestion from customer representative which I did not get. Furthermore, I was transfer from one representative to another. They lack in customer support also when I told them I will report this they said, "Ok no problem." Also I am not denying that they have cheapest fair options but the kind of customer service one can get in this kind of situation, I did not get that and I end up paying $125 without any ticket. Disappointed with customer service and the way last caller replied. Basically I was expecting more from such a well-known site.

When I got the itinerary the flight was on a different date which I could not use. I called Cheapoair within 5 minutes of discovering the wrong date. They said I had chosen alternate dates and would be penalized $50 to cancel the flight. They reduced that to $25. I called them to complain to no avail. It is not a very friendly user site.

    Due to Hurricane Irma our flight was cancelled. We did get the confirmation of cancellation through the travel advisories and then through email from CheapOair. I tried three times to get a refund but kept getting a run-around by being told to call different numbers. All of their customer service calls go through India which is okay except some of the agents are very difficult to understand because of regional accents.

    Today I went through the same issues and got nowhere. I then made a return call to my credit card to finalize the disputes to the charges made by CheapOair. Their fee and the actual fee for Spirit Airlines are two separate charges. Since they are the booking agents they need to handle all return fees. They try to get the customer to call the airline which is to no avail since they never booked you in the first place. So I won't ever use their service (or lack of service) again. They are not responsible for the disaster but they responsible to their customers. Beware of this situation. I still have no refund. I also have the booking confirmation code.

    I was very Happy when my friend recommend me this company. She used this company for flights and gave her good deals. But unfortunately I have a very bad experience with this company. I called to make a package reservation for Ft Lauderdale Florida from New York. I explained the sales representative I want something with good price and good location in Ft Lauderdale. The representative said it will be included flight, hotel plus breakfast. But the whole information he gave me was wrong. He said they gave me a good airline company and good hotel. They lie to the people.

    First the airline company was Spirit a very bad company. They charge you for everything, plus as the time I get in Ft Lauderdale I have to pay for taxi to bring the hotel. Very expensive, additional they give a hotel very far from Ft Lauderdale. Close to the away. No stores even near. The place was 30 minutes far from the location. I was asked from the beginning, I have to paid everyday for transportation. So that means they did not provide transportation from the airport to hotel, no food places around, the breakfast at the hotel it was a coffee or chocolate with a little piece of muffin and they gave me a very far hotel far from everything.

    The day I supposed to back for the hurricane issued this company Spirit charge me more money for my luggage and I lose my flight because of them. They didn't give hotel too. So please my advice to all customers is please find the right information and confirm everything they said. And please do not use this company. Very bad, lose your money and very bad service.

    Why wasn't that option available when I searched for the ticket, at least I could have opt or declined to purchase and at least it would be the date that I wanted. I told the agent that I didn't want to pay an extra $140 dollar and wish to cancel, he then told me that I would have to pay a $75 dollars cancellation fee. I didn't make a mistake when searching for the ticket, automatically an alternate date popped up, I didn't ask for an alternate day.

    Furthermore, my only option is call the Insurance company and submit a claim. CheapOair did not also tell me that the plane tickets were NON REFUNDABLE. Part of the reason I cannot go is because I cannot afford to go on this trip. This is a valid hardship. PLEASE DO NOT BOOK with CheapOair. Their way of business is dishonest.

After making the reservations we noticed unfortunately that a mistake has been made and the flight that was intended to be from L.A to N.Y was ordered from Seattle to N.Y - probably our mistake. We innocently assumed that for a fair cost, we can easily change the destination but then realized that CheapOair charge over $200 Per ticket just to make changes in the flight itinerary. Adding to that the sum we already paid for the inner flight that we won't be taking + the new flight from L.A to N.Y it would cost over $1000 for 2 trips from L.A to N.Y (!!!!).

    We then thought to avoid making the costly changes, to cancel our inner flight and just buy a new flight from L.A to N.Y which would cost around $240 in sum but then learned about the shocking policy of CheapOair and British Airways who's terms include the "No Show" clause (or should I say a twisted version of it): we cannot just not show up to one of our flights since that would result in cancellation of our next flight, back home to Israel, of course no refund will apply. The "best" part is that CheapOair will not let us cancel our flight unless we pay them over $700. JUST FOR THE CANCELLATION. This means that in any way we look at it our unfortunate mistake will cost us over $700!!!

    The point in the "no show" policy that some airlines include in their terms of use deals with instances in which the Travel Agent fails to cancel a booking that is not required by the customer which leads to inventory spoilage. This is by no means the case - we are giving a full month notice that we cannot make it to the flight, giving it as a present to CheapOair, who can easily resell it and make profit. In the meantime CheapOair are abusing the policy and its original intentions, in order to make even more money at their customers' expense (maybe the name Expensiveoair suits them better), in the meantime causing unnecessary travel discomfort their clients, amongst which is a pregnant woman. This is Unheard of, Unthought of and I recommend to stay away from CheapOair.

    I keep it simple. Bought a flight- RSW-EWR-HKG-KUL. Friday Sept 8. RSW to EWR was delayed so I miss my connecting flight. Call customer service ahead to notify and hope they can work something out for me since it's a late flight. Was told to just proceed to airline counter for other alternatives. Arrive at EWR 2.30am and there is nothing open. Call customer service again and was told airline office open on Monday and this is another 48 hours wait. No resolution! Funny things is, call airline reservation line and they answer just fine.

    Have to purchase another flight and it's 300 extra than the first flight. First reservation allowed 2 check in luggage, second reservation only allowed one. Have to repack both luggage so one can be as carry on since it cost 100 extra dollars for 2nd luggage. Have to discard a few personal belongings. Been up for almost 48 hours due to all this hassle and another 22 hours before final destination. I lost a lot of money, time and energy. I fly international twice a year and 3-4 times a year for domestic.

    I travel a lot. I have tried several international and domestic airplane tickets with CheapOair. If everything goes smooth, you are lucky. But if anything goes a little bit wrong, you are doomed. Here is some of my experiences with CheapOair example: in 2016 Turkey Coup event, I was unlucky to travel that way. Well, all airline cancelled their journey to or from Turkey. I called CheapOair and cancelled and naturally asked for reimbursement. It's more than a year now, and yet no money! The second time, I typed my wife's name by mistake instead of my own name as passenger. They did not and could not change back my name, when I asked for change within hours after purchasing, therefore, I lost my whole money.

    The third time, in hurricane Harvey, my flight from Houston to Chicago cancelled, and I asked for reimbursement. Again, they put me for hold for minutes to talk to manager and then suddenly they disconnected my call without notice. Hence I asked from my credit company to put stop on their bill, and for the first time I could get my money back!!! Forget CheapOair, and believe me, I will never buy from them again.

    I've been a CheapOair customer for many years. They have changed my flight schedule before but they were always gracious enough to work with me in making sure that my flight schedules and connections are well within my comfort and the airline's requirements. This time they changed my schedules at least twice without much as a sigh of disappointment on my part. But I noticed that one of the scheduled changed has affected the time for checked in to my connecting flight abroad. I was only allowed less than 2 hrs. So I called and to request the time of my departure to an earlier flight so I could meet the 4 hrs checked in time required by the airlines.

    I called on 8/30/17 about 9:37 and I spoke to a lady named "Lahti". She was eager to help me and found me two earlier scheduled flight. One will cost me $245, the other $185. I then asked her, when you guys changed my schedule, I did not charge you for the changed but now that I am requesting you to change my schedule because of your own fault, you will charge me a fee? She said sorry (their SOP) but that's all she could help me with after she spoke to her supervisor. Needless to say, I was very disappointed and felt cheated. I bought 3 tickets for this flight. This maybe the last time that I will buy my tickets with CheapOair. Thank you.

All our money has been going to tuition - All 4 of us are going to Orlando, Website said "Guarantee Lowest Price." Next morning I check CheapOair - $100.00 cheaper & I call. Denham didn't agree with me at first. Argued a bit said only guarantee within 24hrs - I said I book late yesterday. "Oh ok. Well with taxes only $60.00" but then he said what I didn't know - is baggage is $100.00 each way & I can't pick my seats so I need to upgrade & he can help me with that for $105.00 for all 4 of us & he charged my credit card $106.00 & I still didn't get my $60.00, he applied that towards it.

    But the next day when I called because the Trip had been booked twice on my debit card & was told not to worry it should be credit back within a week - which I am worried because it's my checking debit acct! I also noticed a $50.00 POST BOOKING FEE; I wasn't told I was going to be charged for - Or I wouldn't have even have let him weasel me into the upgrade. When I called back about the $50.00 charge & I got a very rude Tamara who said, "The upgrade doesn't help YOU with my baggage"- well isn't that NICE!!

I waited for two weeks and noticed that my credit card was not charged for the actual ticket, so I called them again to recheck and confirm my ticket.

    Tomorrow I am traveling and something told me to call them and check as still there is no charge on my ticket. I just found out that my ticket is not confirmed because they did not charge my card and they did not have the courtesy to call me and inform me anything. I have been on the phone with customer service and all they are doing is taking me around to different people but not resolving my issue. They are not taking any responsibility for their action, nor do they have any solutions for my inconvenience. They can only offer me a higher cost ticket or reduce my vacation and lose money on my confirmed accommodation. This has been a horrible experience.

    CheapOair should invest time to train their staff to articulate any red flags with any confirmation ticket, also they should upgrade their system where they should send emails to clients if there is any issue with a ticket instead of sending feedback survey and they should not waste customer's time by taking them around all departments and then eventually hung up. Lastly they should not be greedy to charge a credit card for their benefits and not process the rest of the ticket. I will ensure all my friends and family never use their service.

    I booked my flight just two hours ago, and needed to cancel it because my plans have changed. Called the CheapOair and usually, they are supposed to provide a full refund for any flights that are booked within 24 hours, but they charged me 50$! Telling me that payments were already posted! Lied to me! I just checked my bank account, payments were not posted, they were pending and then they dropped after they canceled my booking.

    And which is why they asked me if I authorize them to charge the same card for 50$ (cancellation fee) or else that they will not cancel this booking! I will never be booking with them ANYMORE! Hate dishonest businesses like this! Also people who answer the phone have are Indians who have a very heavy accent, very difficult to understand what they are saying.

    When my son went to the kiosk to print his ticket, he couldn't print it out. As a result went to the ticket counter and they told him the flight had left. There was nothing they could do. And these tickets are non-refundable, but nobody tells you that upfront. So I'm out the $181.00 and my son doesn't get to attend his grandmothers funeral. Do not use these people, book your flight directly with the airline, at least that way you have the chance of getting flight insurance for a nominal $25.00 and you will get your money back.

    I accidentally booked a one way flight and noticed as soon as I bought it. They told me I had to pay $50 fee because they put it in their fine print that their "book with confidence, 24 hour cancellation" slogan actually has fine print that says $50 if you cancel within 24 hours. I figured since I had literally just booked it, they could waive the fee but no. I had to pay $50 for a mistake I made booking the flight online just minutes before calling them. They are manipulatively marketing to people on their website to say "book with confidence! Cancel signing 24 hours" and then charge a $50 fee is misleading to say the least.

I immediately called and was told the Bahamasair flight was full. I could get out the next morning. Which would mean a hotel stay in NAS. I explain this was not my destination. And to cancel the flight. I was charged 150.00 cancellation fee. And they wouldn't help me at all. Don't book with this company. They are rude, no caring in customer service. I was just in tears after four phone calls trying get help. I had to pay the 150.00 and then once they had my credit card they charged a 50.00 to it. Never was told what it was for. I called my credit card company had to put a stop on my card and have it reissued for fraud. I ended up booking straight through American Airlines. Never again on any fly by night company.

    Hello when I called to make the reservation I told the lady that I had used CheapOair before, We continued on with our conversation and the reservation took awhile to make and I forgot to say anything more about my discount but I did mention it at the beginning. So my discount was missed and I didn't get to use it and I was little unhappy. It was up to $25 off of your fees and when I call back the guy said well you can use it next time. That didn't seem like a satisfactory answer to me and so that's why I'm writing this to you. Other than that my experience was very good with the agent. She found the one that I had been looking for and the price had went up so the discount would have been nice.

    Rita, thank you for being a long standing customer, we appreciate your business. After looking over the information the agent did not charge you a service fee. You had additional $14.95 for insurance and the rest is taxes and the cost of the ticket. If you had been charged a service fee it would be separate charge $25.00 with a minus 25.00 under it. So without the service fee being charged, any promo code would not of been applicable.

    My wife and I are celebrating our 25th anniversary this October. I decided to set up a trip to Hawaii to celebrate. We are on a limited budget so I was trying my best to stay on budget. Found flights, hotel and airfare through CheapOair. Called in to see how it worked. Was assured that if we had a change of plans we had a 24 hour cancellation policy. That's when the nightmare began. Paid for upgraded seating and purchased travel insurance - all was told under the 24 hour confirmation. My credit Card Company texted fraud because there were 10 or more transactions for the same reservation.

    First they said the hotel room was canceled due to credit card being declined but in actuality it was noted as fraud. I let Chase know it wasn't fraud assuming all was well. First came the room cancellation of which was never notified prior just got an email saying your room is canceled. Called in, talked to several representatives and they made it seem as though they were doing me a favor to rebook the room. Granted our anniversary is not until October. Then got an email the next day saying our seats were canceled, on my way to work. With those two issues I had had enough, ruined the surprise with my wife and had her call to verify cancellation policy. She was told we had until 3:30 that day to still be within the 24 hours.

    Once I had time I called well before 3:30. At first the airline was no problem. Was told and emailed that we would receive 100% refund, I'll come back to that. Next the agent said she could not cancel the room or car had to be transferred at this point at least 10 hours on the phone or hold. Once I got to the hotel and car representative he said we couldn't cancel. Had a one night penalty from the hotel?? I called the hotel directly. They said they received the cancellation, no problem. They have a 7 day cancellation policy.

    Called Cheapoair back. Spent another two hours on the phone. Was told the hotel was holding our money. When I explained I had spoken to the hotel and they gave 100% refund nothing but stonewall from there. Was sent an email that stated it would take 24 hours and be credited back they would call. Never heard back. Tried calling, emailing to no avail. They are still holding almost $1800 on a reservation that I was assured had 24 hour cancellation. Save your time!!! Even if the airfare is a bit cheaper stay away!! I'm in the Service industry. If I treated people like that I would be out of business.
