I was traveling and booking my flight online on my phone. I had searched a few different flights and when I went to book, it did not give me a 'review' before I book option... So I just booked it. But I had accidentally selected the wrong date from when it auto populated. I called them IMMEDIATELY and they still charged me to change the flight. They were extremely rude about it. I will never use them again.
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.

Not long ago I received a periodic alert on round trip discount price that read 56.40. Oh and trips to Perth Australia are also included so I called to verify and some ** agent so called ran a search. Yeah right only to tell me there’s no such discounts on overseas travel so I asked him why then include such false ads. He then responded it was not a CheapOair ad. That I do not believe. I trust and hope you look deep into this and do more than say you will and give us customers more than just empty words and provide physical results. No empty promises but results.
I’m not one to waste valuable time or money on travel especially when trying to get home to Australia. I strongly suggest you guarantee in providing results to resolve this matter. Thank you and post an actual phone number where customers can voice complaints and concerns with someone rather than hide behind online review sections or have some ** employees who don’t really know how to get results for a paying customer.
Emilio, please provide the city pairs and dates of travel, and include a screen shot of the ad you were trying to purchase. You should of been able to click in the middle of that ad, or a link that would give you the dates the fare was valid for ,and what departure city. See, the ads aren't all valid for all cities and everyday, there are guidelines. Once we have it, I will be glad to look into for you. My apologies for the inconvenience,

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!

I had to make a change on the itinerary and was told it was going to be $9.50 person. I even repeated it back to the gentleman. He that is correct. So I said ok. When I got the email it said 93.00 per person. I requested a refund, but so far haven't received one. If I don't I will be reporting it to the BBB and anyone else that I can report it to. Also I needed the phone number corrected, and was told that wasn't possible. It's a computer. Geez.

I made a booking for 5 of my children traveling from Las Vegas to Reno and return. I made the booking and even paid for insurance. Then they call to say that the Las Vegas Reno legs on United Airlines was not approved because of a credit card issue. They called me 3 days later to tell me this and added an additional $60 per person saying my credit card did not work. The credit card showed charges on my pending statement - so they were wrong. So I am held hostage to paying $60 more for a screw up that they are responsible for - bait and switch tactic - false advertising. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

My dad did a reservation with this company, due to the Hurricane Irma the flight got cancel. We have had to call many times to find out status of the refund. On 9/12, which was when we originally had to cancel the flight, they were supposed to file the claim to American Airlines, they indicated that it would take a few days to get the refund back. On 10/5 we had to call again as my dad's credit card had not been credit it to find out that the claim from American Airlines was never filed correctly and that they had to file the claim again. CheapOair is claiming American Airlines has not refunded them therefore they cannot refund my dad credit card. Claiming that it should take up to 3 months for the refund to be credit it while my dad is having to pay interest on his credit card for money that has not been refund back. I will never use this company.
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'll admit it, I try to find the cheapest airfare possible. After several failed attempts with other sites, the prices looked great until you hit buy, only then to be told that price or flight is no longer valid. 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!! I realize that this glowing review might seem like one of a novice traveler but I've gone back and forth to Asia for 12 years and this has by far been my best booking experience. Needless to say I'll try CheapOair 1st in the future.

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.

I am very disappointed in the lack of understanding of me trying to reschedule/transfer my booking for a later time. I understand that I am not first class, but my limitation to my coach economy in requesting to change my flight for a later due to my sister's wedding being delayed due to her being deployed overseas. I understand that I cannot be refunded for my trip, however, I would appreciate options to reschedule/credit for a later time (she will be overseas for 6 months), and the fact that they will charge me $600 for additional fees is outrageous! My sisters has paperwork that shows her mandated orders–if this could help in any way for me to reschedule without being penalized for being coach and transfer for a later time, I would gladly appreciate the service. But I am not getting any help from anyone.
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.

Booked a flight. When we received initial email they booked wrong days, wrong airline and times. I called right away. First to a lady then to a man. He said no problem they would fix it. But we NEVER received updated email. I call three more times. Each time they said they could not find any bookings but someone would call me back. NO ONE CALLED BACK. So I confirmed with my bank. They got all the money from my account. Today 10/11 I called again finally speaking to a Manager Rodger then Paul. They agreed it was their fault but said the airline would not help and they refused to do anything about it. But I know how to get even. Tomorrow I will reverse the charges on my debit account. I will never use them again. You should think about it before you do.

Really bad experience that left me with a bad credit. Back in December I booked a ticket with them and changed my mind on the 2 hours window period that they were giving, so I tried to call. They kept me on hold and kept hanging up on me and their explanation was that they need to get on hold with the manager and he is the only one who can approve the refund. 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. Neither my cc nor them tried to resolved the problem and the issue. Never again trust them because they use overseas and cheap companies to handle their work.

Was charged an extra 200$ above the listed price for the flight ticket, because I made the reservation on the phone while searching on Cheapoair.com website. I found the ticket I needed, the agent asked, "What price you see?" "1076!" I said. She said, "Ok!" 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.

I just booked a flight for a family member stuck in Puerto Rico and I needed to cancel my booking since I found a better price somewhere else and I called to cancel within the hour of booking and was told they will charge me $50 to cancel. The flight was $200 so that is a huge loss for me and finally when I agreed to pay the process was difficult and she told me it would take 7-14 days to receive any kind of refund and they charged me an additional fee of $30 in the refund. $80 loss I have to take now because I booked with them!

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!

Please be informed that any changes you make within 24 hours of your airline booking is penalized $68. If you cancel the booking within 24 hrs, you are penalized. There are no leeway or considerations at all. They do have the lowest price when you book, but it turns out cheaper in booking in other travel engines as they allow 24 hrs changes & cancellation without any penalty.

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.

We recently purchased tickets from this company and they have had the worst customer service. You are routed to India and once you get over there they claim there is no way to connect you the states and they pass you from one terrible customer service agent to the next in their call center. They wear you down and hope that you'll give up and when you go to cancel they charge you and additional $200 per ticket on top of the airline charges. This company will end up in a class action lawsuit at some point.

Fraud and misleading CheapOes... Save yourself and your friends, stay away very far... What you see, don't apply to you and what you don't see, apply to you - how is that? Do you want to book your travel with frauds and put yourself/family in trouble? Can you imagine you have to throw your luggage in trash? Booked a ticket from India to the US. THEIR website clearly shows 2 free check in bags for flight to the US. But airline bluntly refused to check in bags on travel day. This booking was for my parents and what did we put them through? I called CheapOes and they are talking all fine prints for an hour that what popup says don't apply to you and other policy in the link apply etc... And tried to offer $15 lollipop to keep quiet.

It showed cheapest fare for a trip I want to book, however after I keyed in all the passengers particular and credit card details and intended to proceed to check out, the website prompt that the price is not available anymore. Then I restart the search, it's still showing the same old fare and when I try to book again it shows price not available. Quit wasting time and effort.
Min Hui, our apologies for the inconvenience,. At times there is a delay in updating the website due to the fact the airlines are the ones who complete this. We are very sorry for the problem. If you could let us know the search that you were checking, this will help us contact our airline partner and get the flights updated.

Everything went pretty well. The man I spoke with was helpful. But when I ask about senior discount he said he could not do that and went on. Then the flight that I came up with as I am looking at my computer and talking to him the price I saw for this flight was cheaper than he gave it to me. But I went and paid the price because I am going to go see my granddaughter and I wanted to get a ticket before they were all booked. But he was a nice gentleman. But the price didn't make me happy. Because on the screen it was cheaper and I have been told that is what it should have been. Thank you.

I was looking for tickets to Dominican Republic (already has resort reserved for 6 nights). After dates entered, CheapOair shows results with one highlighted in green (looks like best price), but later I've noticed that they offered different date (unexpected and hard to notice it during the booking process). But after checkout I found that the date on return was wrong. I've called them immediately (3 minutes after I finished reservation and receive confirmation), but they refuse to refund my money and charged $225 (3 tickets) cancelation fees. I hope my Credit Card company will help me recover my money, and I will never buy from CheapOair again.

Malik, after reviewing the reservation, we did see that you called us a few days after you picked up the car to tell us the car was in bad shape and the car company had no other vehicles so you needed to cancel. The insurance that you bought was for cdw, however the car company needed additional insurance coverage on the car LDW but now sure if you declined it or not, so they out the hold on your charge card for any damage to the car. All car rental companies put a hold on renters credit card for car rental agreements, unfortunately you have no say in the matter, it's the individual companies policies. We will be reaching out to you once again. We did request you to forward the receipts and rental agreement, but haven't received them from you in over 2 weeks.

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.

Cheapoair quoted me a price for flights on a roundtrip flight. They charge my card for the returning flight and due to a credit limit per day was unable to process my initial arriving flight. 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.

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.

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.

I booked through CheapOair a flight to St Maarten. However, St Maarten has been badly damaged by Hurricane Irma? First, the place we book was also badly damaged and do not know when it will open. Had no problem getting reimburse from them. So today, my wife called cheapoair to get reimburse for the airline tickets. Initially they said no refunds and then said call the airlines JetBlue. Jet Blue told my wife what cheapoair needs to do on their computer to get our monies reimburse. Now understand as I am writing this she is still on the phone for three hours trying to explain what Jet Blue said to do. She has been disconnected 5 times but on hold 6 times waiting for a manager and one time waited for a manger to call her back.
As of now nothing has been resolved. The staff at cheapoair has a hard time listening and/talking (basically, do not understand English). Unfortunately, this was an act of nature that I had no control over. By the way, the airport is closed. I would never use them again & will spread the word around? In fact, I will call all of the New York news channels to see if they can assist me. So now, the resort is closed & the airport is closed. Is this a no brainer. My question is how can they not know that? You need competent staff & managers!!!

During my online booking experience, I inadvertently put the WRONG return date on my round trip airline tickets. Two hours later, when I discovered the error I was in such a panic, and not sure quite what to do. I called a CheapOair agent and within minutes he solved my problem, changing my return flight booking to the proper date. There was a $50 fee, but I considered that affordable since the error had been mine and my vacation was "saved".

I recently booked a ticket with CheapOair, I selected the date that I wanted, the price seemed reasonable therefore, I decided to purchase. Once I input my information and submit, I saw that the date was change to an alternate date. That's not the date that I chose, why suddenly the date changed? I called the customer service number immediately and told them what happen. The agent, who could barely speak any English informed me that there is no fee to change within 24 hrs, however, to get the date that I wanted I would have to pay an extra $140 dollars.
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. I would NEVER make the mistake of purchasing from this company again, they are scamming people. I have to pay $75 dollars for something that was completely out of my control. This company should be reported to the BBB.

I booked my plane fare at CheapOair thinking I would be saving money. After the booking, $50.00 extra was charged to my credit card that was not explained to me. I booked this ticket May 22. 2017. Travel date was for Sept. 28, 2017. Wanted to make sure there is no penalty should I cancel so I was told to pay extra $19.95 Travel Protection which I did. Now, I could not go September 28 and called CheapOair today, September 13, 2017. I was told that there is a $50.00 cancellation fee! Not only that, I was not told that the Airline, Jet Blue also had a $150.00 cancellation fee! Again it was not disclosed. That is a shock to me!
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. I cannot afford to lose $50.00 to CheapOair and $150.00 penalty fee to Jet Blue. My total ticket cost is $420.30. That $200.00 is an amount that could help me pay my bills.

I've used CheapO before with decent results, but after this one, never, ever again! My wife called to buy a one way ticket to Denver for Sept. 1, 2017. She booked it for 9/1/17, and all was well. An hour or so later, I pulled up her itinerary - the first screen that came up asked if I wanted to change the date to Sept. 4. I said NO. When the itinerary came up, it was changed to the 4th - which was absolutely useless for us! We called and went around and around for hours with them on the phone, and got NO satisfaction at all. They insisted on charging us $50 to cancel the flight that THEY had screwed up. I think the truth here is that the flight we wanted was not available at the price they sold if for on the 1st, so they changed it to the 4th! This is false advertising and bait and switch.

Perfectly Insane story: Just a couple of weeks ago we ordered through CheapOair the flights for our upcoming trip to the U.S - the trip includes three flights - From and back to Israel, and one flight inside the U.S. all British Airways flights. 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.

And escalated his voice. I asked to speak with a manager and nothing was resolved. I canceled my flight with Frontier. CheapOair lost a good customer.

When I ordered my airline tickets I checked the dates. As anyone with an IQ over 3 would do. When I got my booking confirmation the dates were different. I called immediately after seeing this. They wanted $55 to change it back to what I originally put. Also, they provide no info on how to actually get your tickets. I had to call several times to get the right info on how to do that. They are completely useless. They are crooks and should be shut down. Unfortunately most won't see until they have a complaint.

Don't use the travel site!!!! I made a mistake on my dates, I called five minutes after I booked. They charged me 80 dollars to cancel five minutes after I booked! They use a call center in India and they did not understand me. They said United already booked the ticket which is not true. I was on the phone for over an hour and they would change the fee.

I made a flight to BWI from MCI and when you changed the destination, I didn't catch it. When I called back I was charged double and penalty. I was trying to get a fair price early, and it was doubled. I will not order from this company again.

The customer rep, Rodólf (spelling?), that I spoke with yesterday when I called to book my flight was very thorough and professional and he answered all my questions. Only suggestion I have is to try to make the "over the phone booking experience" somehow quicker as it took a long time to finalize the whole process over the phone and I was put on hold a few times; but overall, a very positive experience and my respect to Rodólf at the call center in New Delhi. I will use this service again for future flights!

Booked my ticket to Greece on Aug 3rd through CheapOair via a ticketing agent. My ticket was confirmed at the time and I got a confirmation email. I also received a service charge from the company for the call. 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. At that time, the agent assured me all is sorted and I asked for another confirmation email and he sent me.
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. The supervisor was Gegory.

Everything went extremely well. The Representative was extremely professional and polite. I will definitely be using CheapOair in the future for all of my flights. I will tell my family and friends to contact CheapOair for future reservations. Great experience. KUDOS to your corporation.

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 would have left a no star but wasn't allowed to write a review without leaving a rating.

Your online services pale by comparison to your agent service. Very good customer service by your agents. I was able to correct my reservation problem using your agent. Had the online program provided the airline selection I had anticipated, I would not have made the corrections.

The agent, Gina, was very patient with me while changing my itinerary due to an error on my part. She had to review other flights from a different airport. She even called me right away when my call was dropped. Very impressed with the customer service. Only drawback was that I was charged more for the change when I found flights cheaper than when I originally booked. Lesson learned.

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.

Very misleading advertising. I have worked in the travel industry for 20 years and know that airline seats are not ticketed instantly. After following the prompts to purchase a ticket for a Saturday, 7:15pm flight, I ended up being booked on a Tuesday 7:30am flight. Called within minutes and was charged a fee to change it and the fare was over double.

I'm pleased with the services offered and would definitely recommend to a friend. The Price Match policy was fully executed for me because I did found my itinerary for $10 dollars less--within 20 minutes of my booking and when I brought it to their attention, they gave me instructions and stayed in constant communication with me until the refund of the price match amount was completed.

I tried to book a connecting flight through NAS to ELH. Showed through NAS connecting to Bahamasair to ELH. When I booked it only booked me to NAS. 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. Should have known better with name like CheapOair. Sad. They will rip you off. Beware.

I just want to say that I only use CheapOair (I intensely dislike this name--sorry--it sounds tacky to me), but I continue to use you because I get such outstanding help from Merrie **. She is patient, understanding, unflappable. I have given up on every other travel agent because she/he always pressured me and wanted me to take the only times they were offering. Merrie is willing to listen and find flights that work with my husband and my schedule. I continue to give her name to others and just wrote to the bride and groom whose wedding we are attending in Israel to tell them that I have a wonderful agent to recommend to their other guests for their destination wedding. Keep up the good work with agents like Merrie and I'll be a client for life (in spite of your name!).

Currently serving in the military and I book a flight for a round trip $481.00 for leave. Somehow suddenly my command have to change my leave day. Due to change of training as we preparing for deployment. So I have to cancel and change my flight. This is happened three days before the scheduled flight. But they told me to pay 200.00 dollars extra to reschedule my flight. So I try to book a flight but they can't book me for the same price and I have to pay the extra. I'm not recommending this company. They told me to call United Airlines to file a reimbursement. But no help.
