    I booked a flight online from Montreal to Tokyo via New York. After purchasing the flight I noted I have 2.59 hrs connection time in New York but the flight arrives at LaGuardia and I have to get my luggage and transfer from LaGuardia to JFK and check in - all within 2.59 hrs. I called CheapOair and they said that if I wanted to changed to make a better connection I would have to pay for it. I disputed this, stating that they had offered a ticket with an impossible connection but they refused to assist.

    I was very frustrated in trying to arrange for flights to California. I called Cheap Tickets and the man who worked with me got me a better price than I could and was extremely polite and helpful during the entire process. This is the not the first time I've turned to them for help and I doubt it will be the last. I highly recommend them.

    First of all you charge more than you said you would. Second, you never tell, when buying an American Airlines ticket, that the luggage cost is 25 dollars. Thirdly, you sent emails saying things like "pay us back." I made the payment for my ticket through my bank now you are calling me to tell me that the ticket was never charged, I already paid for my ticket. You call me and the person that called me, the same that sent me the email, Geordie Accounting/Charge Back Department had the worst attitude towards me, demanding me to speak with my bank, for something I already paid. And now you are sending me threats to sue me for something I didn't do.

    We booked a flight with CheapOair. And because I didn't have a credit card I had to ask someone else to book for me. So when they booked, CheapOair charged them 470 when the website said 314... The person booking didn't realize the price difference and just booked. When I got all the info on the the flight I realized that they overcharged us by $180... By the time I got all info. I realized what happened... They said they cannot do anything about it, it was only few days later. They said I can't cancel and even though the price was 314, 6 days later they told me the day she booked was 404 + taxes... which taxes were supposed to be included.

    So was 6 days after they would not cancel flight or reimburse any difference.. the day she booked she saw price was 349. But they said it was different... Days before and days after the price was in the 320 range. I talked to at least 11 different people and 4 different supervisors and they did not seem to care whatsoever. They said it was my problem. They did reimburse me 38 off the 470 but far cry from 314. Customer service in my case was awful... as they didn't care that the day I was speaking to them the price was 314. I have dealt with airlines and other site quite a few times and never had an issue. This was the first and will never deal with cheapoair again, stick to the big names. Please remember all flights before and after were in the 320 range and the day we booked was 349.

    The gentleman who assisted me was helpful, thorough, and understanding of my flight. He explained everything a number of times without any problem. My only problem is that with the Board 25 coupon, I could have saved that amount if he had informed me of it at the time of booking. Now I understand that it is too late to receive that discount.

    I needed to book round trip flight but because I am in military I told them there is always probability I might need to reschedule. They said NO PROBLEM and I paid the extra money so I could have the security I needed in case my exact dates changed. YEP my Commanding Officer said "we are changing everyone's dates..." so I called CheapOair and they said they couldn't. I wasted 4 hours and don't get to visit family. They made promise they didn't keep. I would not recommend using CheapOAir. I called them directly when booking the flight. I think if nothing had changed it would have all been good. If you book flight just pray nothing changes.

    Susan, here is the information regarding baggage for Spirit airlines:

    Carry-on bag: Maximum of 22 x 18 x10 inches (56 x 46 x 25 cm) including handles and wheels this is a $26.00 charge for a carry on and you must pay for it ahead of time on their website. If you wait and check it at the airport the fee is higher.

    checked bags-40 lbs or less, size 62 linear total size, this would be a 26 inch bag, here are the cost: $35 before online check-in, $40 during online check-in, $50 at the airport, and $100 at the gate.

    For wheelchair assistance we can add that for you, however if you require assistance between the gates and connections, that is arranged at the airport day of departure if you need other assistance besides wheelchair. When you have wheelchair assistance, there is an airline rep that will meet you at the gate and take you to baggage claim, or your next flight. If you need anything further, please let us know.

    Overall, positive experience booking with Cheapoair.

    Original Review: Feb. 2, 2017

    After completing a booking for my family of three, I reviewed the Ticket Number and Airline Confirmation email to find that I had made a mistake and not put a space between my daughter's two middle names. So I called right away to have this corrected. The lady on the phone was named Nicole, and she was polite and helpful, she charged me the $25 USD to have my issue corrected. Upon receipt of my revised Ticket Number and Airline Confirmation email, I noticed that Nicole had fixed my initial problem, but created a new one by switching the genders on the tickets of my husband and my daughter, so she was listed as male, while my husband was listed as female. So I immediately called back to have this issue fixed, and was not charged. I received the help of an agent named Carmello, who put me through to a gentleman named Remington, who helped to fix the issue.

    Upon reviewing my new Ticket Number and Airline Confirmation email, I noticed that the genders had been corrected, however the issue that I had called to correct initially had reoccurred, and once again my daughter's two middle names had no space between them, which is not how it is represented on her passport. As I'm sure you can understand, at this point I was starting to become frustrated. I was going to have to call back a third time to fix another mistake created by CheapOair customer service staff. It was getting late in the evening, I have an infant who was due to get up in a couple hours, and all I wanted to do was resolve the problem with my booking and go to bed.

    I called back a third time, and spoke with a female agent, who's name I didn't catch. She updated the booking for me and stayed on the line until I received the corrected confirmation email. I asked to be refunded the $25 fee for my initial mistake, seeing as there were two subsequent mistakes made that I caught, which were not made by me, and they necessitated me spending a substantial amount of time on the phone. I was denied the refund. I asked to be put through to customer service so I could plead my case. While on hold waiting to get through, I hung up and decided to go to bed because I was very frustrated at this time, and I didn't want to take out my anger on someone in customer service trying to do their job.

    I hope you can understand how these events contributed to an overall negative first experience with CheapOair. I acknowledge that I made the initial mistake on the booking, but getting it fixed was difficult, and somewhat aggravating. Due to these events, I will not be booking through CheapOair.com again in the future. Thank you for your time in reviewing my complaint.

    This is my first time buying ticket for myself and my child. I directly called them on the phone to book my flights. They found my flight right away. Unfortunately I wasn't sure about the time of the flights therefore I wanted to wait on the purchase. But the rep told me that If I'd purchase travel plans for our flights then it'll be a no problem for me to cancel it anytime I want and get my full refund. Then he started reading the policy to me starting with "THIS IS NOT GOING TO APPLY TO YOU" and continued reading on the policy of "these tickets are not refundable" etc. And when I asked clearly about how the insurance works he said that I need to provide a documents.

    He never told me that there was a third party who handles the insurances, never told me the name of the insurance, basically he didn't give me any info on the insurance as being a third party company and I automatically thought that they have a special department as I have never worked for this kind of company. I really don't know how these things work. I assumed that they'll take care of me If I'll need them to do anything w/ my flights. As I was still thinking about my flight time someone got my car and I had to change all of my travel plans. 9 days later after someone's got my car I realized I can't leave town. So called and explained the situation.

    The supervisor (the first one who I talked to) said she is agreed that the sales rep wasn't clear enough about the insurance and she is happy to escalate this to the escalation department. She said that their escalation dept takes care of this kind of issues. She also asked me a time frame they can call me following day.

    Yet again no one called so I did. The supervisor's not available to talk with me but Garrett, another supervisor. And Unfortunately this is what he told me: "well unfortunately there is nothing we can do with your request" as he read the comments of the other supervisor. And there is no way for me to reschedule my flight without paying the cancellation fee of over $240. And when I asked to talk to the escalation department, Garrett, the supervisor informed me that there is no one available to talk to me about my case but they may call me back.

    When I asked how soon the escalation dept will call me based on his experiences as a supervisor, He told me that me that they cannot make time for me and he has no idea when or if they would call me since they are very busy with other important cases. Unfortunately this company only cares about selling tickets but when it comes to customer care there is none you can get to unfortunately. Horrible customer service and no respect. It is so sad when you hear there is no one available for you to talk since they have more important cases than yours. :/ Shame on this company!

    First of all, this has been the most horrible experience with booking my flights: 24th Jan PM - I booked SFO-Cancun for 5/24-5/29 for $881 - I paid $15 extra for the return leg to get a more suitable flight. 25th Jan morning I get a call from CheapOair saying that the airline is not confirming and the cost is going to be $500+ more for the itinerary I booked. I go back to the website and the same itinerary I booked the previous evening is showing at the same price I booked at $881 - but I get it that there may be an issue.

    25th Jan AM - So as told I call back and change my return flight to SFO to depart just after midnight and the rep tell me that there is no additional charge. I tell the rep that the same flight is $15 cheaper on the CheapOair website. She refuses to change the price. I again go on the website and confirm the new itinerary is $839. But I am anyways charged on my credit card for $881. Rep tells me that this is fully refundable in 4 hrs if I need to cancel. 25th Jan AM - I call back to cancel and am told that I need to pay a cancellation fee of $25 per ticket. I am eventually charged totally $45 for cancellation for the 3 tickets I booked. I tell the agent to transfer me to the supervisor and I am on hold for a long time. Then it seems someone picks and disconnects and I am now in queue "to speak to the next available agent".

    The same ticket that I was charged $881 is still on the CheapOair website for $839 despite me telling the agent. I have now booked the same itinerary with a different website for the cheaper price of $839. Honestly this is ridiculous. I wasted my time and money for no good reason. Never again am I going to book with CheapOair.

However, it was the hotel that declined the reservation and she did not explain this appropriately to me.

It came back 2 days later and more expensive. As my husband and I had no other choice in terms of timing... we booked it. The previous attempt to book the same trip... was an utter disaster. Your agent, Greg, booking # **, was too rude to say the least, implied that I should be quiet and listen to him, took 90 min on the phone to resolve nothing and the next day sent an email cancelling our flight after another agent had fixed his mess in less than 10 minutes.

    I had booked flights but, unfortunately, the dates became inconvenient. I called to change the dates and the agent found alternative and cheaper flights. I asked her to hold the flights while I checked with the travel company. She said that was not possible but she would stay on the line while I made the call. I made the call and changed our vacation dates but when I returned to the CheapOair call the line was dead. This caused me to have to call back and begin the procedure all over again. Ultimately we did not get the flights we had changed too and did not get the cheaper price. The second agent I spoke to said the other agent was busy so he had to start from scratch. Bottom line was we did not get the refund and did not get the flights we had arranged for with the first agent.

    I understand that flights fluctuate fast but if the first agent had stayed on the line we would have been very happy with the refund and the flights she found. The second agent said she had tried to call me back but my line was busy. Of course it was busy... I was trying to get back in touch with CheapOair. What a mess!!! And what frustration and extra cost to us. If flights and prices change so fast why didn't the first agent stay on the line for me??? Finally I did get the flights booked and your agents are very patient and understanding. But it still upsets me that I did not get the flights and price I wanted from the first agent.

    When booking my flight I specifically clicked the luggage policy that was available and it clearly stated that I was entitled to one piece of free check in luggage which proved incorrect. Fortunately I kept a copy of the policy! Secondly I book an AVIS car rental and at no stage during the booking did CheapOair warn/advise me that the price did not include insurance! Only on arrival at the AVIS counter at the airport in Malta was I advised that I needed to provide a €10,000.00 deposit! To keep a long and terrible experience short I finally cancelled my booking and paid THREE times the amount at AVIS to rent a car!

    What do I want? A full investigation into my booking process, an apology, a refund of both the $7.00 fee for the car hire booking as well as the $34.00 I paid for my check in luggage. Finally, I would like CheapOair to compensate me for both the extra costs for my car hire and for the embarrassment you caused me at the airport!

    This has been my first time returning to CheapOair since 2013, and after this experience I now know why it took so long to return. Having to get home to California for my Father's funeral on Monday, I thought the package I purchased was the best I could afford on such short notice. Prior to pressing the "Book Now" button from the internet, I called in and spoke with Britt. He and I walked through every aspect of my package (flight, hotel and car), and he even reminded me to confirm all the information before I made the purchase. This was the only part of the process that worked!!! Approximately, 3 hours or so after my purchase I decided to see I could make seat selections for the flights. Only to find, that I had no flight, hotel or car listed as purchased on your (CheapOair) website. Thus, began the first of many, many calls and transfers within the CUSTOMER SERVICES Departments.

    From the first call I placed at 3:52 pm CST (starting with Amy), ending with Patrick calling me back at 8:32 pm, was the process of looking my full reservation. During all these multiple calls and transfers, only the last 3 which were Paul, Baracus and Patrick were made aware, or forwarded the reason for my call. All the other reps, and I spoke to (maybe 7- 9 in all) before resolution, simply made the transfer, which caused me have to continually repeat why I was calling.

    I could locate the flight, and car on their respective websites, but there was no hotel showing up at either company (CheapOair nor the hotels). What disturbed me, was the fact that I was being told that the package wasn't purchased. When I know that NO AIRLINE would book/reserve a flight without the flight being paid for. Plus, my credit card had a pending charge for the full package amount of $728. Now, I informed several of the representatives of that fact, especially when they started suggesting that I would have to pay additional money, due to the hotel price change. This was unacceptable!

    Eventually, the hotel was purchased according to Patrick and I should have no further issues with my package. I do appreciate the work and effort by the last 3 individuals to resolve this issue. I was also, very happy to hear that this process was complete and that everything I paid for was now available. However, this whole experience was most infuriating, especially while trying to get home for an already traumatic situation. I have no other words to describe how disappointed I was.

    Updated on 03/10/2017: The response to my review came from CheapOair's Refund Department. Issue #1, the refund notification came to my email address, with another's name listed. Thinking the wrong name on the email was simply an oversight of mass mailings, I didn't think much of it. The email stated that the company would refund the hotel charge of $243.67. Never having asked for a refund, I thought "great, this would resolve my issue with the company". So I waited, and waited. Finally, at the end of February, beginning of March seeing no funds returned to my credit card I contacted CheapOair about the refund that was mentioned. What I have discovered is that since no one contacted me about the initial booking number (**), the credit was never applied to me.

    Speaking with a Soroya (sp) in the Refund Dept., I've been attempting to show that because the room was re-booked (**) with CheapOair's company card, the company essentially reimbursed itself. But made it look like I was the recipient of something, when I actually received nothing. As you can see by the company's response, THEY were having issues confirming my hotel. As far as I knew my "Package" which included the hotel, was purchased. How/Why as the purchaser of a "Package" would I know that the hotel portion wasn't confirmed? Especially since booking the "Package" the flight and car portion of the reservation went through without a hitch. Again, my issue is with the double talk that's coming from the company. I welcome a call from someone on the management team in response.

The customer service charged me 100 dollars to re-book it. They mentioned that the trip insurance does not cover trip cancellation due to sickness (Clearly mentioned on that site that it is covered) and they will charge another 200 plus dollars for re-booking. Don't try this - they lure you with low fares and charge you for every request you make. Would prefer to deal with Expedia which is safe when you book a ticket with insurance.

    Efficient booking. Booking site operated smoothly. Only criticism of the site is the come on pricing used to gain your attention, an issue common to all such travel sites. It also was confusing to use the seat selector and I believe I was charged for a seat which should have been free.

    I was on the way to the airport for my flight when I called CheapOair to check on my reservation. I was told my name was not correct on my ticket and that everything was OK. I could get it fixed at the airport when I checked in. We talked to American Airlines and British Airways, they were adamant that CheapOair had to fix my name on the ticket. CheapOair said, "We can't change it but we can sell you a new ticket for $2000", next call it went up to $2500. CheapOair refused to help us. The agents we spoke with were very unkind and rude.

    After 3 hours at the airport with my new wife in tears, we missed our flight and had to cancel our honeymoon while our luggage was now on a plane without us. I have never worked with a company with so little compassion. They made no effort to help fix this issue. I only received excuses for why they would not help unless we paid over 2000 dollars. I contacted customer support for help on DEC 25th 2016. I found someone who made me feel like this company might be reputable and they were going to help try to get my ticket credited back, Supervisor: **. Here it is 1/19/17 after checking back via email hoping for a response, still nothing.

    I have done this before. It is not that difficult. The only thing that eked me was I asked for a specific airport & the list always started with a different airport. I understand that if I wanted to travel & deal with tons of traffic that it was cheaper... know that... but would have cost me the same or more to hire car service to get there.

    The web browser recalls previous searches and implements duration over selected dates. As a result we mistakenly booked the return date for 2 of 3 tickets which followed an initial purchase for a different traveler. We called to fix the issue and were dropped in mid try multiple times from the phone center while on hold with agents. Finally, we made it far enough into the process with a rep who suggested we cancel the booking and rebook which we did. During the call we were dropped 2 more times. He called back once but gave an excuse that he was having trouble doing so (that's a problem for CheapO not our phones). In our last call with him he canceled the ticket and gave us a one time password. We never received the cancellation email.

    We phoned back and the new agent said the flight could no longer be canceled. The only change was we now had 2 more tickets invested through CheapO. Fortunately, we were able to cancel our correct booking which we had just made. The agent said it was the policy of the airline that the original flights could not be canceled. We then phoned the airline to verify that the flights could not be canceled and they indicated the CheapOair rep was absolutely incorrect. Caribbean Air allows cancellations for a $75 dollar fee and will be happy to do so for our return date when we check in.

    Conclusion: CheapOair has confusing and contradictory information for its reps that functionally turns them into liars. Also: The second agent referred to above kept speaking over me in the conversations. It was a very unpleasant experience. The same Flighthub tickets were only $10 more expensive and that site indicated right at the top that the tickets could be canceled. I will never use CheapOair again as I have never had problems like this with Flighthub, Redtag or Expedia.

    The issue here is the overall handcuff you and probably most online sites use once you have booked a flight. The fees and charges on every little change, no free cancellation up to a certain point and just the incredibly high cost to change even one leg of a flight make the whole experience really bad for us. Is this truly the only way to provide cheap flights and make money? Please let your management know that the cost of any changes and seat assignments is what has made our experience truly a bad experience.

    Benjamin, our apologies for the inconvenience. Airlines will charge a fee if you chose a premium seat such as exit row, seats with extra leg room, or bulkhead. Those are all accessed by the airline and not us. Airlines do offer "free" seats perhaps emirates didn't have any left, or you chose one of the above. We don't advertise that seats are free on our site because depending on the airline you chose that may not be the case. Also, airlines do keep a small percentage of seats for airport checkin, and there is never a charge.

I was refunded the money for the early seat assignment but I have not been refunded my money so I can go to an airline that will give me the seat at booking. I feel CheapOair should not have made the assignment even possible if they were going to have to take it away. I would like a full refund.

    Margaret, we charge a small service fee for assisting with assigning a seat,. if you the airline no longer has seats available, or the seat map is not available we will refund you our fee of $14,95. Emirates charges for seat assignments depending on what type of seat you select, therefore you have to book those directly with the airline and pay them for that seat. If you wanted an exit row seat which they may charge $35.00 for, we can't collect the $14,.95 that doesn't pay for the premium seat. If we are unable to assign a seat that isn't premium, we will refund you our fee. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

I spoke to customer service and immediately after I cancelled the flight and I was told the refund will come after 15 business days. I called again in December 2016 and I was told that the airline did not refund the money yet and so they conference me with the airline. They told me again that I should get my money back after 15 days from the day of that conversation.

    I called again yesterday, January 17, 2017, and I was told that the money was still not process and it takes 24 hrs to get my money back. I called them again today and I was told that it will take 60 business days to get my money back since yesterday. I called billing department and I was spoke to a very rude lady and I just can't get her name. She is told me that they can't do anything about it since the policy says refund is 60 business days. What am I going to do now? I've been a very loyal to CheapOair customer and I even recommend them to my friends and I am getting this bad experience.

    After finding a reasonably price for my husband and sisters trip, I feel CheapOair, is very misleading and malicious by charging an astronomical price for reserving seats! Almost $80 for one seat! So by the time I reserve them each a seat for their entire trip (12 flights total) the seats would have came to more than the fares! Almost $1,000 just for seats! I only reserved them seats together on one flight. They will have to sit in middle seats between strangers on the rest of their flights. UNBELIEVABLE. The only reason I went ahead with the booking is I figured they are adult siblings and could sit away from one another. I'm currently planning two more vacations this year.

    John, fares change constantly and at the time you booked and you had the delay it was due to our website going through the updating process. We rely on the airlines to update our site with the current fares, and availability, and while you were booking, someone else may of take the last seats at that price. As for the $50.00 off coupon, it is for upto 5 people traveling in one reservation, and they receive $10.00 off the service fee. Because the flights that you booked, you were not charged the service fee, therefore the discount was not applicable. We are sorry for the inconvenience, and we certainly appreciate your business. Hold onto the coupon, it maybe valid for the next time you travel.

    I was searching for hotel for 3 guest. I booked One Hotel in Mexico City which according to my original booking receipt included an additional charge for an extra guest. After booking I saw only 2 guest. I called CheapOair. Spoke with someone who transferred me to customer service. Waited on hold for an extensive time, hung up. Called one hotel directly and was advised they don't have rooms for 3 people. My receipt says two guest, I still paid the extra fee and the hotel customer service representative advised they don't have capacity for 3 people in a room.

    I specifically saw in writing on your site during the booking that we could cancel within 4 hours yet when we called immediately because we wanted to change same itinerary to different time were told we could NOT change nor could we cancel without a large service fee. I specifically picked our seats during booking and yet that was not reflected in the confirmation. Rep was not helpful in fixing that and offered only changes at an additional fee, not seats even comparable to what I chose.

    I called CheapOair to make a reservation and I was told that if I make it over the phone, I have 24 hours to cancel it. I called 20 hrs later to make changes and I was told that I could not do without a charge. The initial price was $513.64 and the operator charged me $8 for what - I don't know. When I changed the reservation, I was charged another $8. So the recommendation was to make the reservation over the phone to make my life easier and ended being a horrible experience due. The website is still reflecting the price of $513.64. It seems that your staff is well trained to make extra charges to reservations. I travel all the time and I used CheapOair for all my flights. I am considering using a different site to book my airfares. You can see the history of flights under my name, it is a lot. I even buy my parents' tickets every year using your site.

On long flights, I must get up often due to my age, and never before when booking with you was I unable to get an aisle seat. Thank you for any enlightenment you can offer.

I called to inquire how much it would cost and not only was fee crazy high, but the rep said if I didn't cancel right then the next time I called the fee would go up even more. This really felt like extortion and I'm not even sure if it's legal. Either way I had to put the rep on hold and contact others in my party to let them know about this policy. I ended up canceling right and will never use this scam website again. I've canceled flights on other online travel websites and never had any issues.

I now know that your site really is much better than many of the others who you can't even get a real person to talk to at times. I am grateful for that and the great fares I have found for family and friends and the customer care you have provided. Again, thanks for all your help. Appreciative in Florida.

    Thanks for your vote!
