    I booked my flights on the website and although I received an email of the booking, the tickets were not yet confirmed. The following day I received an email from CheapOair credit card fraud department saying they were trying to contact me. This made me slightly upset because this being urgent I should've been contacted by phone not email. Had the ticket prices increased I would've had to pay the increase as the tickets were not yet confirmed. It took 6 hours to get this resolved and finally confirmed thanks to a gentleman by the name of Elliot who helped me.

    This was not enough for a 2 star rating but what did make it a 2 star rating was when I spoke to a representative who offered to help me select my seats for the $29 fee. I agreed and I told him I wanted both seats together with one being a window seat. To my surprise when the tickets were confirmed neither seat was a window seat on the first flight which is the longest flight. When I called to get this resolved I was told I would have to pay an additional $29 fee. This irritated me highly as it was not my mistake and I could've easily chosen my own correct seats on the website. For that reason I was dissatisfied with the experience.

    It started when I was stranded in Florida and need to get back to CA FAST... EVERY AIRLINE wanted a mint for a one-way ticket... Or loads of inconvenient stops between. CheapOair found me a perfect, cheap convenient flight. So this time, I thought I would try them for more complex needs. They got me the perfect flight to Nairobi, Kenya for my month in Africa and my return from S. Africa. I am flying Business class and the times are perfect! I think I love this company!

    So my husband booked a trip for us. He thought he was going directly to the airlines site when he booked it. So all was well at that point. Then when it was time for us to do the online check in, I realized he put an extra letter on my name! Oh boy! so now were in panic stage! So he calls CheapOair, and he spoke to a rep! (I'm not sure if I can put his name on here, so I won't.) This guy made us pay an additional $500.00! He said we had to cancel that ticket, and purchase another ticket, because of the extra letter that was added to my name. So that's when my husband realized he wasn't talking to the airline, and it was cheapOair!

    My husband asked, "Well, should I call the airline directly?" This guy said, "No, there's nothing that can be done. You have to pay the $500.00! But we will give you a $300.00 credit for a future flight!" So he purchased it! Well after all that was over, I was messing around on the check in process, and wow! I could have corrected the mistake while I was doing an online check in! But we didn't know that before we called CheapOair! What he did was not cool! I will use my credit, I have with CheapOair, but after that, I'm done with them and of course I will spread the word to friends and family!

    The agent was polite and knowledgeable. She explained the options and why the ticket price had increased. After I'd committed to the ticket, she gave me the name of the airline, the flight numbers, departure time, amount of layover, arrival at destination for each flight. We discussed additional services, but she was not trying to upsell me; my impression was that she was only giving me information about the options. She sent me e-mails confirming the details we'd discussed. Her courtesy was outstanding -- she willingly repeated numbers I wanted to check. I couldn't have asked for a better agent, and though it's unlikely she'll be the agent helping me once more, I'll certainly check CheapOair the next time I fly.

    I recently bought round trip tickets from Israel to Budapest via this site. The price seemed great - and I was pleasantly surprised when I made the reservation because I WAS SURE that it included baggage fees. I triple checked everywhere on the CheapOair website and felt good when I made this reservation. Afterwards, someone here at my work told me there was no way that my flight would include baggage. I called the airline directly and found out that this is true.

    So, I had to pay an extra $70 per person to add the baggage. I tried to chat with someone (it took 1 hour) and in the end, she said they can't take responsibility for what they write on their site. It's so ridiculous. I saved the transcript of the chat. I didn't get any compensation. Next time - I'll just remember - if it sounds too good to be true - something is wrong! Lesson learned. I really hope someone will contact me to make up for this... I work in marketing and advertising - and I know this is very false and misleading info that CheapOair publish just to make a sale.

    We had a typo with the name on previous ticket and had to redo it again. We had to get exactly the same flights. We started with another representative but the call has been disconnected. On next call, we had Rosco on the line and he understood the issue and have been able to work with our constraints. He was amazing. Great service. Never ever had such experience before and I have almost 1M miles... We are very thankful for Rosco's effort. He made us happy.

    My wife and I booked a flight to Palm Desert with CheapOair on December 18th. I was very satisfied with the price of our tickets. On the 30th of January, my stepdaughter and her husband finally consented to allowing us to take our 2-year old grandson. I called the number on our itinerary to see if CheapOair could get my grandson on our flight. In less than 15 minutes, he was booked on the same flights we had. The agent I talked to were very pleasant and helpful. Within minutes after hanging up, I got a call back from CheapOair to make sure I received my confirmation e-mail, and to make sure it was correct. It was then that I noticed the dates were the same, but he was leaving from a different airport. She apologized for the mistake, saying it was the wrong confirmation #. She resent the e-mail and everything matched correctly. I was very impressed with the call back and the agent making sure that everything was correct.

    I bought a ticket from them. They waited several days to charge me, then by the time they did the ticket had gone up in price. They then sent me an e-mail that I needed to approve a new flight that was $200 more. They took no responsibility in not booking my flight. The did not say that my flight was pending anything when they sent me an email confirmation that stated at the top that it was "Booked on Tue, Jan 26, 2016". Now I have had to change my travel plans in meeting up with a friend and accept a flight that has a 8-hour layover there (vs 4:30hrs) and two 8-hour layovers back (instead of one 2 hour layover) to get an equivalent price.

    I got in when prices were very low, part of the reason to travel, and was faced with dropping out of my vacation entirely, paying double, or accepting much longer layovers than what I originally bought. They would do nothing to take responsibility for not booking the flight on my behalf. They even tried to lie to me about issues with PayPal until I informed them that I set up websites, have worked with the PayPal api, and know that the excuses they gave me didn't make sense (not that there can't be issues).

    I know mistakes happen and when they do I hope they are handled with care and seen through to a resolution. In this matter CheapOair only diverted blame. I was out over $300 on our vacation. When using CheapOair online service I have not had any issues but now I am a mother and have special requirements that needed further assistance. I called CheapOair for assistance (as I would be traveling alone, a long long way, with my infant son for the first time). I received, seemingly, great service at the time. When I asked the woman why the deals she was offering me were not on the website (less layover time) she said something about how she was making the reservations on the go. Once I arrived in Chicago everything went wrong.

    I had filed a formal complaint explaining to them what I had just explained to you above: "Hi. Please understand that my #1 requirement was to be provided less lengthy layover time than those listed on CheapOair website, this is why I called your company. We were sold tickets that did not allow us enough time to catch our connecting flight. Air Berlin was early flying into Chicago, American Airlines was on time flying out to Miami and I did everything required of me, yet was left behind in Chicago and made to stay overnight in Miami without a stroller or any of my luggage. I spoke with AA and they said it is the responsibility of the company I purchased the ticket from and you say it is them. I want customer service, to have CheapOair reconcile this matter and to be reimbursed. Where to go from here?" I have not been reimbursed till this day.

    Working with Cheapoair has been time consuming and expensive. I book original flights then a couple hours later discovered a mistake. I called and was charged $300 to make changes. Then received an email that the airline changed flights - called cheapoair twice. Spent 5 hours on phone calls - I asked for them to match rates currently showing on their website that were hundreds cheaper than I had paid. Was told three times a supervisor had to review my account and would call me. I have never heard back from anyone. I will never book through them again.

The first schedule change was acceptable as it involved a few hours difference in flight times. The second schedule change (now I was getting suspicious!) was not reasonable. The change involved a flight FROM Ft. Lauderdale TO RDU on 2/17/16. I am not in Ft. Lauderdale. I live in the RDU area.

    You try to manipulate the customer. Someone is paying higher fares compare to the advertised rate on your website or on the airline website by making excuses and charging 50 to $60 more. For example, the $810 rate to Delhi India was available all over the place on various websites as the last even through the agent at Jet Airways. But your website processing doesn't go through properly so you have to call the toll free number and they give you an excuse. The constant excuse for all advertised fares with your company is that the advertised rate has been taken by somebody else. This is not the case and then challenged, or you threaten to cancel, you offer a refund of the excess charges. But those have never come true and you don't give a receipt right away for the refund. Where is my promised refund $100? On a positive note your agent was very helpful

    I just had to pay $220 to shift my arrival date back by 1 day because I overlooked the fact that my flight would be arriving in Istanbul the day after I left Tokyo. How I managed to overlook this, I really don't know, but I do know that the emailed confirmation I received strangely does not list this information. Although I expected this on my return flight to Japan, I missed that I would also be arriving very early the next day in Istanbul. Unless you click on the link for the printable online itinerary customers can easily overlook this and make costly mistakes (as I did!).

    Although it may have been my oversight, I cannot ever recall having overlooked such important details while making reservations in the past and especially given that those details were not listed in the confirmation I received, I wonder how clear the next day arrivals were made to me during the reservation process. So, at the very least, I suggest you change the content of your emailed confirmations (and possibly the information displayed during the reservation process) so that it clearly indicates when arrivals are on the following day (as in the printable itinerary). I hope you find these suggestions helpful.

    I booked the flight for my son and his family to come from Montana to Illinois. All went smoothly, the price was good, and the flights were ok. When I was done and reviewed every page I hit enter, to my horror after having reviewed, my daughter-in-law was listed as a male. At that point, I found it could not correct by me. I emailed the help but it was too long of a wait for a representative to come online so I called the number for help.

    I had a very nice young man that helped me but he told me the only way he could correct the male to female is to change the flights. He told me I would have to change the flights to different airline. He gave me new dates which would not work for my son and family. I gave him the dates again and after a few minutes he returned with a flight that was acceptable. So we booked the flight for a service charge. It is a little longer than the first flight due to going to Seattle then on to Chicago, they are travelling with a 1-year-old so I was looking for the shortest flight possible. Now I need to find out if I have to print the boarding passes or they can go to the airport the morning of the flight with the confirmation and their IDs.

He also understood what no one else, including my husband, immediately grasped: that even if you're flying to and from different airports in Florida, it's imperative to fly from and to the same Cleveland area airport if you don't want to fund a 35-mile taxi ride upon your return home. He gave me some very useful tips in other areas, too. In short, I would tell people to use CheapOair and ask for Davio!

I then double checked the details and paid. Then when I got the receipt it was for a flight to "apparently a nearby airport" when actually it was to Belgium and came back from another airport in Holland. I called straight away and despite being on the phone over 30 mins they said it cannot be refunded. I am very unhappy with their lack of service and would not recommend them.

    I booked 2 bundles (flight & hotel) to Oahu, Hawaii on CheapOair. A few hours later I found a much better deal on Expedia with the same flight ticket & hotel bundles (saves at least $250 for 2 bundles). So I called CheapOair customer support to request a price matching with Expedia (since it was still within 24 hours time frames), otherwise I wanted a cancellation and book with Expedia instead. They transferred me to different representatives, then different departments since they said they have different department that handle flights, hotel, car rental, and bundle. Finally I got hung up from them.

    I tried to call them back 3 times with different numbers they have on their website. I ended up waiting for more than an hour to speak to the last representative, who asked whether I wanted to keep my booking or cancel it with penalty fees of $50 per flight ticket. When I asked her about the hotel cancellation (since I booked flight and hotel bundles), she told me they have different department that handle hotels so she did not know whether I would get penalty for canceling the hotel booking. It was my first time booking with CheapOair and I had very bad experience with them.

    Had some issues with unknown fees being charged to my credit card - After bringing this up they called me, apologized and credited me some extra money - a little annoying but they ended up doing the right thing.

    Original Review: Jan. 13, 2016

    To start, for the past 5 years I have booked multiple flights with CheapOair per year online without any problems. Recently, I had a flight where something came up with work and I needed to push my vacation a week into the future. I called a few times to discuss changing my flights and received multiple quotes and multiple policies regarding trip cancellation. Sometimes the difference in fare came into play, sometimes it didn't. I finally spoke to an agent who cancelled my flight to Manila through Seoul and was going to re-book me a flight to Manila through Taipei. They tried to quote me a price for the new flight that was over $200 more than what I was seeing on their website. He pleaded that I book it over the phone and that he would match the price I was seeing online.

    I agreed and asked why he was charging me a higher price to which he stated that there are entrance visa required for Taipei/Manila that cost over $100/person and he was giving me a deal on them (I have been to both Taipei and Manila and there are no such requirements). He booked the flight and send me receipts via email. A week later I check my credit card to see a mysterious $87 fee from CheapOair, I call and talk to multiple agents who give me a variety of special fees that must have been charged. Eventually I speak to someone in the "concerned persons" department who states that they will give me a refund, informs me that their agents are sales people who aggressively try to squeeze fees out of people over the phone to get commission for themselves.

    They assured me my individual travel agent would be punished. A few days later I receive confirmation of a refund for my original cancelled flight for $100 less that I was quoted to begin with. I call again, talk to an agent who informs me that he has no idea why it was less and that he would submit my extra refund. Overall impression: These people are not travel agents, they are salesmen trained to squeeze fees out of you. I bet the call centers are third party companies under contract and have no affiliation with CheapOair (but unsure). I have flights every year with these guys and will never go through them again. Good luck.

    On Dec.11/15 I was attempting to book a trip to Nashville for my thirtieth birthday. I was using a site that I have often used in the past - cheapoair.com. When it came to the payment portion, I was 'conveniently' able to enter all of my credit card information, as it was loading the site crashed. I immediately received an email from a representative at their website stating that they had been unable to process my request. I then called and spoke to an agent, just to be CERTAIN that I wouldn't be charged and was told absolutely I wouldn't be. Imagine my surprise when I get my December visa statement, I have been charged $563.50 twice for two tickets I was told, in no uncertain terms, that I would NOT be charged for.

    I contacted United immediately as all it said on my statement was the flight number and airline. I was told by a United rep. that they couldn't do anything and that I would have to call the website. And so I did, and after FOUR combined hours of being told they could do NOTHING - even though it was their error - here I am. I have now been told that it is United Air who refuses to refund the money that was essentially stolen from me. The best that was offered was a credit for United - but with that, I would be responsible for an ADDITIONAL $200 per person for flight changes.

    I am understandably upset by this experience - through no fault of my own, I am not out $2800 altogether for a flight to Nashville that was supposed to be in celebration and now has been completely tainted. After the site crashed, I attempted to search for other fares on cheapoair.com but the prices had skyrocketed. I then decided to proceed using a different airline - Air Canada - and had no difficulty finding a better rate AND much better travel times - the original flight had an 11 hour layover in Charlotte.

    I fully expected better from both the website frequently travel with and the airline I have used COUNTLESS times in the past and always been mostly satisfied. I would absolutely NEVER travel via United or using cheapoair.com in future. Regardless of price you can't pay for the peace of mind that you are not being swindled. My former opinion of cheapoair.com was SO positive, I had encouraged numerous friends and family members to use their site, I'm so disappointed it has come to me bitterly complaining on all facets of social media available to me.

    I purchased ticket from CheapOair. While booking he charged me 500.00 but as it was via and was taking too long time to reach destination I had to cancel the ticket, so I approached back to CheapOair. When I called them they are group of people. The operator told me wait a minute, they discussed among themselves and once again operator came back over telephone saying, "You see if you cancel right now airlines will deduct 500 hundred. So you are to pay 500.00 right now so that you will get the refund."

    At that time I didn't know that I also can cancel online. He took 55.00 from me, so for booking 500.00 + cancellation 500.00. So he made 1,000.00 which is equivalent to one ticket charges of my 2 ticket purchased. So it was not a wise to purchase ticket from CheapOair as my experience is exactly opposite to cheap i.e., the costliest ticket I've ever purchased in my life. So will recommend to all the people never ever buy ticket without going through the review of any agent or agents.

    I had been looking forward to my Xmas vacation for some time and catching up with my family who live on the other side of the world. We were departing from Austin, Texas and destined for Tokyo, Japan. As you're probably aware there are no flights that travel directly to Japan from Austin so we had no option but to get a connecting flight. Fortunately we had enough frequent flyer points with United Airlines to get us to Vancouver, Canada so all we had to book was a direct flight to Tokyo which we found through CheapOair flying with ANA Airlines.

    It was Monday December 21st and we were super excited for our trip. However, the events that followed made this trip a more costly and frustrating venture than anything. All of which could have been simply avoided with a little thing called Customer Service. There was a delay with our flight to Vancouver from Austin via San Francisco on the Morning of the 21st. We didn't think this was going to be a huge issue as United was kind enough to bump us onto the next flight to Vancouver. However as this is not a common flying route it meant that it was going to arrive too late for us to catch our ANA flight to Tokyo.

    As we knew this more than 9 hours ahead of time we were scrambling to find a solution that would have us make the ANA flight or at least fly out the next day as a worst case scenario. Between waiting on hold with ANA Airlines and CheapOair it was a game of back and forth which took at least 6 hours of being on the phone. CheapOair claimed that ANA had strict terms and conditions with this specific flight as it were a special fare. Hence they put it back on ANA as being their problem. After speaking with ANA they put the blame back onto CheapOair saying that it is the travel agent who are responsible for these fare changes. CheapOair made NO effort to help us get onto another flight but rather continued to reiterate that there was nothing they could do.

    After spending a substantial amount of time on the phone and not to mention one of the customer representatives from CheapOair had the courage to say, "Look, I've been on the phone with you for 45 minutes, are you going to book a flight or what?" My response was, "WOW," as I was speechless for a company that is supposed to be a travel agent, I was under the presumption that customer service was a big part of your business. Well, apparently not. After multiple 40+ minute holds on the phone, I was finally able to speak with a supervisor who by the way still has no authority on anything but must get to wear a suit and tie to work unlike the salespeople so must be given a higher role within the company.

    Now whilst this saga was going on, my partner was looking at flights that were departing Vancouver to Tokyo on a one-way basis in the event that we can't find a solution here we could still get to Tokyo then utilize our return portion of the flight. (Apparently a new rule with ALL airlines is that your return flight is voided if you miss your outbound flight.) As unhelpful as the CheapOair supervisor was, he did say we could offer you a $50 voucher which at first I thought he was joking. When you're talking about thousands of dollars $50 isn't exactly a reward. Secondly, the next flight he could get us onto was departing on the 24th and this was not an option as the purpose of this trip was to catch up with family that we hadn't seen in over 12 months, but even that flight was going to cost upwards of $4K each because they only have business class available.

    That obviously wasn’t going to work. He then rambled on to say that we can cancel the booking because it is ahead of time, and ANA will give you credit to go towards a flight with ANA. In the meantime I found a one-way flight through China Air which would get me into Tokyo on the same day for $520 per person. So canceling the booking would give me credit to rebook my return flight. OK we proceeded with this option. After what had already been a stressful day and we were already more than $1K out of pocket I just wanted to get to Tokyo.

    We finally made it to Tokyo and I had received the email from CheapOair with my credit with ANA. Here is when things started to take a dramatic turn in which CheapOair lost any kind of credibility they had. Over the duration of our trip in Tokyo I probably spent close to 2-3 hours a day making phone calls to CheapOair to try and book a return flight with my outstanding credit. What I thought was going to be a simple procedure was basically impossible.

    Firstly, the credit had to be used with ANA flights only – no ANA flights that are operated by different airlines. This was going to make this a bit tricky but we still felt like we could get something happening, despite most of ANA’s flights surrounding Asia. If we could at least get back into the US then we would be able to get a domestic flight back to Austin.

    Then we were told we had to pay a $300 per person fee for cancelling the flight. We were aware of this from the very vague email from CheapOair but there was no mention that the credit couldn’t be used to pay the penalty in addition to the fares. Apparently this was a part of the rules and regulations. This made no sense to me as the funds were still going to the airline so if an amount was used for the penalty then it would leave me with a lesser credit – seems pretty simple to me?

    Also the point that you couldn’t use it on a one-way flight and that you couldn’t change the route. Hence the credit could only be used to replicate the same flight departing Vancouver and before September 2016. Well, if we had known this earlier than we wouldn’t have cancelled the flight and followed the advice of the CheapOair representative. Plus what is the point of having credit if I can’t use it!! This seems like a very sneaky plot from CheapOair and ANA.

    I don’t exactly plan on returning back to Japan within the next 6 months. Secondly, these so called rules and regulations – terms and conditions link from the email doesn’t work and the link appears to be broken. So tell me where are these rules that I can’t access? No fine print or anything. Is it even legal to provide such information that is not accessible by the consumer?? In addition we had asked multiple times for both CheapOair and ANA to send us the terms and conditions, which we are still yet to receive.

    Now not only by this stage were we frustrated by this entire situation but also we were missing out on our vacation and it was hard to enjoy ourselves especially with the absolute lack of support from CheapOair. Here are some of the trademark or generic responses that we were fed from CheapOair. Each time we called we had to be transferred to at least 3 different people each we had to reiterate the same information, so obviously nothing was recorded. By the time we reached the 3rd person then it was a minimum of 45-minute wait to speak to a supervisor.

    Each person that put us on hold said that would put us on a 3-minute wait. NOT ONE HOLD was 3 minutes or less. Each CheapOair representative said they would call us back. We never received ONE call back. We were told we would receive an email correspondence. NOT ONE email was received. Each representative told us that they understand our situation – but if that were true then they would provide a solution to the problem. It was always a NO, NO, NO. “I can call you back" but it won't be straight away because once I hang up another call comes in”. WTF. ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL!!

    It was New Year's Eve and each day we tried to follow up it was the same process. As we were hoping to fly out on January 4th we needed action to be taken ASAP. We were also keeping an eye on flights departing Tokyo in the event that CheapOair couldn’t help us out, and it was quickly looking that way. We started to try and put more pressure on CheapOair to escalate the process, which they said they had done but at least some communication or correspondence would have been helpful but to this day we have still not heard anything from them.

    The last thing we were told was that the matter had been forwarded to the waivers department, who supposedly had authority over these matters. I tried to get in touch with them but apparently they don’t accept phone calls and are only operational from 9-6pm EST – even when we called during that time the supervisor was not helpful in any way and was putting it back on ANA as they did in the beginning. We were told that they were talking with ANA to see if they can adjust their fare rules for this flight.

    After almost 4 days of supposedly waiting on ANA, we called ANA to see if they could speed things up from their end. They weren’t helpful either and seemed to think it was CheapOair’s terms and conditions that weren’t allowing us to use this credit. We made the executive decision to book a one-way flight from Tokyo to Vancouver on the 4th as we had yet to hear anything back from CheapOair and the fare prices had gone up.

    So as I write this, I am on my flight back to Austin, Texas. Still haven’t heard ONE word from CheapOair regarding the matter. Still haven’t heard ONE word from ANA Airlines. Have a return flight that I couldn’t use – value $3K USD. Had to pay for two one way flights – value $3K USD. In debt and had to borrow money just to return home. Had to talk to CheapOair from Tokyo whilst on roaming – expecting a huge phone charge when I return home. Wasted endless hours talking with CheapOair for nothing. Wasted endless hours waiting for CheapOair to return my calls for nothing. Lost time catching up with family and enjoying my xmas and new year's. Not ONE ounce of communication from CheapOair.

    This is only a summary of my experience with CheapOair but to cap it off I must say that CheapOair is by far the WORST travel company in existence and I am truly appalled with the absolute lack of customer service provided by this company and it is really hard to believe that they are still a functioning business. I will be doing everything in my power to share this experience with the world and make everyone aware of what really goes on at CheapOair. I will also forward this email to all the airlines that do business with CheapOair, as they deserve to know who their consultants are. I will send this to consumer affairs and to the better business bureau because I am sure that a business cannot legally run like this.

    My family is persistent that I should consider taking legal action and agree that we have been mistreated by CheapOair. I will make sure that social media take this company down if they don’t implode internally before then. This has not only been an extremely disappointing experience with CheapOair but a really unlawful and frustrating situation as I mentioned that could have been pre-empted. I really hope that no one else has to deal with this kind of experience and look to the successful travel companies when booking airfares. This should simply not happen!

    I was helped in making my reservations by a really nice and knowledgeable agent named Yannis, who was stationed in India. My reservations were a bit complicated, as I am flying from a smaller airport in Roanoke, VA, for back surgery in Fort Lauderdale, in February. He worked with me to arrange timely flights, wheel chair transfers, preferential seating, etc. He expressed his good wishes for my surgery several times as we worked through my reservations, and was a big help in making this all work. Thank you to Yannis and CheapOair!

I asked to speak to a supervisor and 1, I was cut off. 2, put on terminal neglect. A supervisor finally fixed things for me and then got my birthdate wrong. Then I was overcharged $75.00.

    Do not use CheapOair! I repeat, DO NOT. In case you run into a cheap rate on their website, leave! Do not make any booking with this greedy, irresponsible company whose only goal is to take your money and nothing else. Also, their system is so messed up and they can really screw up your trip badly. The booking agents will tell you information they themselves are not sure about and cares nothing about their customer whatsoever. So, do not deal with CheapOair, this is a company you cannot trust. Their carelessness about their customer is beyond belief. So, stay away from them and DO NOT purchase any tickets from them!

    If above warning still did not bring up your attention, please read on: In April of 2015, I planned to make a trip back to China with my mom and found good deals on CheapOair. In previous year, I did purchase ticket from them and they have my credit card number on file. I then called CheapOair and made inquiry for two tickets, one for my mom and one for me and the return date of mine would be one week earlier. The Indian sales agent give me a quote for both of our tickets but since my final work schedule has not been finalized, so I wouldn't able to make the purchase at that point and told them I will call back to confirm the booking and make the purchase at a later day.

    No permission was given to charge my credit card was given at their point. Several days later, I called them again and gave them my final travel schedule and booked two tickets. Everything seems to be fine, right? Well, about a week later, I saw two charges on my credit card from CheapOair and it appears they booked my own ticket twice. Immediately I called them and was told they booked two tickets for me on the same departure date but different return date. Are you seriously? Can't you guys even think? But I did not confirm the purchase of the first ticket and no permission was given for them to charge my credit! There was recording on the first inquiry and won't you guys listen? Nope, they do not care.

    Obviously, the sales agent just went ahead and booked tickets for both of us and charged my credit without my permission! To me, this is a blatant violation of customers rights and privacy and it sounds to me like a fraud. I immediately called them again and told them the tickets were purchased without my permission and they need to refund my money. Well, CheapOair just stonewalled me and gave me a runaround. During my 3-4 phone conversations with them afterwards, all sales agent denied their wrong doing and their managers were also not willing to admit their mistake. They just want to take my money and would care less about me and my rights.

    To me, this is an act not less than robbery. I was furious but had nowhere to go. I called my credit card company and told them the story and they have agreed to hold the money but told me I need to sort it out with CheapOair. At that point, I decided to tell my story on the internet and post my experience at google and a few days later, I received an email from CheapOair who has agreed to refund my ticket in exchange of me withdrawing my post from the forum. I was relieved to see the situation has resolved and immediately took my post off those websites. Within few days, I got several emails from someone named Foster from CheapOair who sounds a little bit friendlier and told me money will be refunded over two 2 weeks period. Soon, I received e-tickets from them and then they refunded money to my credit card and I thought everything would be fine.

    Well, if you think the mess CheapOair would cease here, then you are wrong! About one week before my scheduled departure date, I got an email from CheapOair telling me I would be traveling the next day but they changed my schedule and moved my return date to a different day. What? Where did this come from? Leaving the next day? Or 13 hours to be exact?

    More to this, in that email, they instructed me to either click the Agree button to change my ticket, or they can just simply cancel my ticket! Really? Bare in mind, I have made all travel arrangement, requested times off from my work and I have my family waiting for me across the Pacific ocean, and CheapOair would cancel my ticket after giving my an itinerary that was going to put me on the plane the next day which is a week early than the scheduled date and back on a date that will not work for me? Is this the kind of service CheapOair has been providing to their customers? I know, this whole thing sounds surreal but this is what cheapoair has done!

    Confused and furious, I called CheapOair. After calling several numbers getting nobody on the phone, I finally called their 800 numbers and finally talked to one of their agents in India. After giving him my booking number and name, they told me I have a flight leaving the next day! "No sir, the ticket I purchased is a week away..." "No, you are leaving tomorrow, actually in 13 hours." "No, no, no, Mr. can you look at your record closely and double check the booking, please?" "No, our record has shown you are leaving tomorrow." "No, no, no, I have records from the carrier website using the same booking number showing my departure date is a week away." "Oh. mmm. Ok, your return flight has a problem. One of the connecting flight is no longer available and we have to reschedule your return date." "Ok", then the line went dead.

    Ok, this thing is important. I cannot throw a temper tantrum in my own study, simply because that won't work. So I called them again! Of course, you got a different agent on the other side of the phone who told you the same bull that you are leaving the next day. "No, no, no, please look down further and there should be another booking stating I am leaving in one week." "No, I cannot find them." "Yes, you can." "The guy I just spoke to found them." "No, cannot find them. Oh, here it is, yes, you are leaving in one week, but there is some problem with your return ticket." "Ok, what is the problem?" "Mmmm, let me look. I need to call somebody. I will call you back in 15 minutes." "Ok, that is fine." I hung up the phone after giving him my cell phone and home phone number.

    Thirty minutes have passed, the phone didn't ring. I told myself, be cool, they won't care if you kicked the wall down and put the house on fire. So, I called them again. Yes, it sounds like a broken record, but unfortunately this is what had happened. Same story, no record, cannot find the record, cannot help me, and they need to put me on hold while they asked the manager. Then they transferred me to another department that handles these itinerary changes. There I was told the connecting flight in China was cancelled by China Southern Airline and they gave me several choices for the return and I picked one that would work with my schedule. They said they will contact the airline company and give me final itinerary when it is confirmed. They told me it might take 48 hours.

    At that point, it is very obvious to me that management of CheapOair is extremely messy and nobody know what happens when! After they took your money then you are just at their mercy. They can do whatever and there is nothing you can do. The system is a total mess and your itinerary and important changes will be lost in the shuffle and nobody in CheapOair would bother to blink an eye. At their point, I know nothing will happen and they will not give me any response or make any changes on my itinerary. They will just drop the ball and let it go. They have my money and their goal has achieved and that is it for them. Whether I will be leaving in less than one week or should their customer have peace in mind with their travel schedule is not of CheapOair's concern. Their name says it all!

    One day has passed, no response. Three days have passed, no response. One week has passed, no response. My scheduled return date has passed, still no response! It has been one month after the scheduled return date, I still haven't heard anything from CheapOair! There you have it. This is the treatment you got from CheapOair and that is why I tell you DO NOT deal with this company ever. They are just a bunch of irresponsible, greedy crooks whose only goal is to take your money.

    As soon as your money is in their pocket, then they can treat you whichever way they want. They will just drop their part of the deal like that and let you hang in the wind. It is beyond my belief that a company doing this kind of lousy, if not deceptive practice can still in business. It is hard to believe that there is no legal action has been taken against them. I hope you read my post and get the message: CheapOair will screw you up like nothing as soon as they take your money. DO NOT deal with CheapOair! DO NOT! Never!

    Ordered round trip with them for 8 month in advance. Received email about flight time change one month before flight and was happy with their notification service. Flight time was changed from 8 AM to 2 PM which was amazing for me, but when I arrived to airport for check in, found that there was no changes and my flight was at 8 AM. That means I lost my next flight connections. Call to CheapOair support and they put me on hold for almost 30 minutes. Thanks to airline supervisor who put me on a board for business class for no charge. Next connection flight has no registration for my name and have to wait until all passengers are in and wait if someone delay to use their seat. Same for all next connections.

    Because of that poor communication and support from CheapOair my baggage was lost and I received it only after 4 days after arriving at final destination. Was always using other online services but found CheapOair new and it was a mistake. Will never use their service and even recommend it to friends or everyone. Does someone from CheapOair apologize? No. Does someone call me back regarding my flight experience? No. In total - they do not care. Use other services, not CheapOair.

    I had booked a Sun Country flight for mid-January through CheapO Air, and had an emergency gallbladder removal surgery that was restricting my ability to fly less than two weeks before my scheduled flight. I called Sun Country and was told that I would need to pay a change fee, but I could apply for a medical waiver, but it would need to be done through CheapOair.

    From the first experience with the CheapOair customer service person, he said he didn't believe that Sun Country had told me that, thought I should pay for an entire ticket again and then apply for travel insurance (I explained that it would fall under their preexisting condition policy), so the change option was the best for us. He kept saying that it wasn't in the fare rules, despite what I had been told by Sun Country. I asked that he call Sun Country to check, and he rudely asked what proof I have that I actually had surgery. He told me that I should have known about this (needing emergency surgery in January) before booking the flights in November.

    I asked to speak to a manager, and he wanted to know why. He was extremely combative and unhelpful, and said no manager was there and I would have to wait 24 hours for a callback. I expressed my displeasure over his unprofessional and attacking manner with no cause and he proceeded to attack me further. At this point, nothing has been resolved. Had I booked directly through Sun Country, the ticket would have cost the same and this issue would be resolved. It is bad enough to have a serious emergency health issue, but CheapOair's extreme unprofessional handling of this matter has been utterly unwarranted. I will never use them again.

    The rep who sold us the two tickets got BOTH passengers' dates of birth incorrect, and it took two more calls to rectify and even then required a call to the AIRLINE to confirm that at least they could verify that correct data was on file. Knowing how TSA is about data, looking for any excuse to deny boarding, this was sort of scary. Better care needs to be taken, including reading back such vital data to customer, to prevent such mishaps.

    This website is not at all transparent and will not inform you of layovers. I had booked a trip from Edmonton, AB to Sydney, Nova Scotia with one 1 hour and 20 minute layover in Toronto. This is what we booked and what was indicated to me on my itinerary. We ended up stopping in Ottawa, to pick up more passengers, which isn't a big deal, as we did not need to get off the plane and it maybe only added an hour max on the tarmac. What I did have a problem with was the LAYOVER in Halifax as well. None of this was communicated to us, we ended up getting off the plane for a few hours, and then when we finally got to leave, about 20 minutes into our flight from Halifax to Sydney, we had hit a bird (no one's fault) and had to turn around and make an emergency landing back in Halifax.

    We were then told a plane would not be available until the following day. I had to rent a car and drive the additional 4 hours to get home. When calling CheapOair and upset about being stuck in Halifax, even though we were never to be there in the first place, they were unwilling to help as "a portion of the flights had been used," so they would do nothing to compensate us for all the wasted time (almost an additional 6 hours in the airport, due to additional layovers) and the personal expense of renting a vehicle to get home. They have TERRIBLE customer service, and I will never book a trip with them again.

On November 18th I received an email that my refund had been processed and it was approved for $8236.00 MXN. On December 28th which is more than a month after I received an email that my refund was processed for MX$5359.00 which is much lower than the amount I was originally told about. One of the reasons I cancelled this ticket is I was informed about the original amount of the refund and out of nowhere they decided to change the amount. I have yet to get my money back. I totally feel scammed by the company and I don't recommend anyone to book with them, it's by far my worst online customer experience and it appears that they have stolen my money.

    First of all I can see the prices on their site, but I called an agent to make sure they were correct. Of course they are not correct. In the 30 seconds it took to get a booking agent the price had gone up 100$. I said "ok fine book it". After I give her my card number she tells me that the price has gone up again, 14$ which was fine because she told me for that fee I could choose my seats which is great because my wife and toddler were the ones that would be flying. They should sit next to each other. However I felt at this point the fees and lying were just too much and this was the 3rd time they changed the price on me, so I said "forget it." Keep on mind she has my card number at this point.

    She tells me to hold on that she might be able to get it cheaper. I hold for about 30 minutes and then my cell phone dies. She decides to go ahead and book the trip for me anyway, how thoughtful. It took another few hours of work to get my refund from CheapOair but I still have not been refunded the money that went to the airline. I have used them many times in the past and am aware of the seating "Policy" fees but I found the tickets cheaper elsewhere and will just call the airlines directly next time.

    I love how it takes 2 seconds to charge your card and 2 weeks to get your money back. My advice would be to do all of your legwork before deciding to book your tickets. Also you will never be guaranteed seats without speaking to the airlines. I have paid fees so many times for seats together and have never once gotten the seats I paid for and have always had an issue at the gate.

    Recently, I booked a round trip ticket through CheapOair.com. Upon the departure date the airline could not locate my booking or locator number. I later learn that my last name was abbreviated with three characters. I called to speak with a customer services specialist on 12/17/15 at 9:45 am. The specialist took 45 mins before discovering my last name was spelled incorrectly.

    Next, he accused me of enter my last name wrong when booking this flight. I certainly know how to spell my full name and something happen when the transaction was executed. Needless to say, I missed my flight and in order to be confirmed on the next flight requires additional $75. CheapOair failed on the customer and REFUSED to comp the $75 change fee. In fact, the Supervisor name Andor refused to provide the previous customer service specialist name and he wanted to argue with me (the customer) and American Airline Ticketing Supervisor. American Airline Supervisor waived the $75 because it was the right thing to do by the customer only if CheapOair changed the last name on the reservation.

    Today, December 29, 2015 I have called the corporate office number to file a complaint only to get re-routed to the call center. When speaking to the customer service specialist they seem very confused about a corporate number and don't know what to do. I kept repeating myself in asking for the corporate office number or to be transferred. I don't wish to speak with the call center. Once again, I receive poor customer services. I asked to speak to another supervisor and was placed on hold for 15-mins. The line rung 20-times before the call was completely drop!!! NEVER, never will I purchase anything from CHEAPOAIR.

    CheapOair provides a great service for finding and reserving airline tickets. Be forewarned however, be absolutely positive that what you are booking is what you want. Dates, times, seats etc. Change fees will quickly eat up any savings you might have otherwise realized by booking with them.

    I will NEVER purchase tickets online through CHEAPOAIR as they prove to provide CHEAP SERVICE. I experienced this two weeks when wanting to purchase a ticket for my daughter to travel along with me. I was unable to purchase it online for her since she's a minor and have already had purchased my ticket so I called their agent online. The online price was listed at $1,150 (including taxes, fees and insurance) while her price was close to $1,500. She continued to tell me that the prices change every 10 minutes as if I'm some idiot who has never traveled before. It is when I simply told her "Shame on you for cheating and price gouging! As a customer of yours who have purchased tickets every year and I never, never purchase from CHEAPOAir before". She went quiet and I hanged up on her as I went directly to Lufthansa and purchased the ticket for a lot less than her deal. ($1,200)

    In the meantime I had already had purchased tickets for my parents a while ago so yesterday they were leaving. I called CHEAPOAIR and received terrible customer service, no knowledge in fixing the issue and everything leads to a "dead end" for the traveler as per our experience. I needed to have my parents flight changed due to the Schengen visa required when traveling within two airports in Europe. My parents instead of traveling from MCO-FRA; FRA-VIE; VIE-PRN needed MCO-FRA; FRA-PRN, in which case according to cheapoair agent they are "unable to re-route any ticket and the only solution for me was to cancel my tickets and receive no refund," basically have them eat my $$$$.

    I could not believe the services they provided yesterday as the first agent hanged up on me after telling me to wait a minute until he looks for the flight and the second just barely speaks any English. If it wasn't for the Lufthansa and the United booking angels at the Orlando airport we received zero, and I mean ZERO help from a CHEAPOAIR Agent. At the end he said "what did she do to fix this?" I stated "she did what you were supposed to do because according to your words "CHEAPOAIR cannot re-route or change a ticket as per Airline rule." TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, SHAME ON YOU CHEAPOAIR!

    For some reason a week was booked instead of a night. I called as soon as I saw the mistake. The agent on the phone said he would call and request a cancellation and refund. He then came back on the phone and told me the hotel denied the cancellation and that the money would not be refunded. He told me that the no return policy was clearly posted on the web page. Search for hotel Wing International Ikebukuro on their site if you would like to see for yourself that no such policy is posted.

    I contacted the hotel myself, and then through a friend who speaks Japanese and as told that the issue is with the booking agency not the hotel. I called CheapOair's hotel booking service, and they claim that the hotel has not responded to their email request. The rooms are listed at $62. I was charged $744 for a single night and told that I would not receive a refund. Even though the booking was made weeks in advance and I tried to fix the problem within a few hours of the booking. I feel like it's important to warn people that if there is a mistake made you may have just lost your money.

    I was looking to modify my itinerary depending on the fees I would get charged, and wanted to make a decision based on the customer service rep's advice. He recommended me to cancel the flight altogether because there is no cancellation fee, and rebook the whole flight with the credit. I took his advice and cancelled it and called them later after researching for better deals. What I found was shocking. They canceled only my itinerary and left my husband's itinerary alone even though the booking was for 2 people, let alone I didn't specify them to cancel only mine. They told me I had to pay for the rebooking fee and the price difference on the tickets. After spending 1 and a half with the customer service rep trying to resolve the issue, I told him to hold off on canceling my husband's itinerary for the moment, and I would call back again to decide what to do about the whole thing.

    When I called them again, I found that they canceled my husband's also, regardless of what I specifically told him, to leave my husband's itinerary as is. The third guy told me that the ticket was actually refundable with the $600 cancellation fee altogether. I was in shock and demanded to talk to the manager, and he said someone would call me back within 24 to 48 hours after the investigation. However, I never received a call from them. I called again to go ahead with the $400 rebooking to keep the trip going anyway, to end the horrendous drama with cheapoair.com to use the credit. And the 4th service rep told me that I couldn't book the ticket with the price on cheapoair.com at the moment, because my booking is "not" freshbooking. He said they go directly into the airline company system so I was not able to utilize the ticket price online on cheapoair.com. I ended up paying $188 higher than the price on their website at the moment.

    So I told them I'd rather pay $600 refund fee and get the credit to my card, and he let me know that my ticket was never refundable because I chose future credit. I was left no choice than to go ahead with the booking altogether. I finally received the changed itinerary via email, but seat assignments were not changed from the original booking. I went to live chat to verify my seat assignments, being so tired of talking to a customer rep for average of 1 hour or more, and the agent on the live chat told me I had to pay $144 price difference for seat assignments. Being so frustrated, I called the customer service again to confirm my seat assignments with a person. He told me that my seat assignments remained the same as is from the first itinerary. I felt that dealing with cheapoair.com was just purely waste of time. I called the airline with the confirmation number and found that my husband's info was not there, and it was only one person.

    I called cheapoair.com again to see what is really going on again, and they said each passenger has their own confirmation number even though I chose seat assignments for all passengers initially. I finally got the second confirmation number for my husband and called the airline again to complete the booking myself. I find cheapoair.com customer service department is a bunch of incompetent people who have no ideas of what they are supposed to do. I also find them not fluent in English, and they really don't understand what the customer is saying at all. I will never deal with cheapoair.com ever again. This has been a pure nightmare, and I ended up paying for $700 worth of penalty and fare difference, when I didn't have to change anything in the first place.

    Cheapoair.com changed my flight schedules 3 times, messed up all my plan. This is my first time using cheapoair for buying air ticket and also my last one. I have never been in this situation with other Web sites or from my travel agency (my flight schedules have never been changed, even once!!). BTW, cheapoair customer services are not at all friendly. They said that they just sell the tickets and claimed that it was American Airlines that changed my flight schedule. Then I guess: By buying the air ticket from cheapoair, they will buy American Airline tickets at cheap prices, leading to very low priority. By consequence, American Airlines can change the flight schedule anytime or American Airlines are just bad!

    Either way, we should not buy air ticket at cheapoair neither American Airlines as they also have bad ranking in customer services already. One more thing, the ticket I bought from cheapoair has similar price to other web sites or travel agency, not cheap either. The reason I didn't buy from my travel agency this time was just because she was not available at the time.

So now I'm stuck in an airport not in another state with wrong flight date. So I call to fix this (at an additional charge) and tell them of their mistake and I need it asap. So he gives me a new flight and my trust is gone, so I say "how long before this is confirmed and I can get my ticket? This new flight leaves in 1 & a half hours." He said no more than an hour. So an hour goes by. No confirmation. I ask the airline to check on it. This time he makes it for that date of the month but an entire month out!!

    So I called and cancelled everything, only got half the refund back and waiting on the other half. That's an entire new complaint. I never got a native english speaker until last time I called. This guy seems helpful, I was asking about my refund. English is his first language. So ask for Blake if you do use this service.

    Just about the worst experience with CheapOAir. I was involved in a serious accident at a remote area and needed to get back home to get better care. CheapOAir really gave me a hard time and basically tried to exploit the situation and made me pay more than $550 of penalty. After multiple representatives promising to call back but never did and finally after about 5 hours on the phone and speaking to supervisors, they insist that the best price of $450 penalty is what the airline requires. However, after refusing such a hike of price by CheapOAir and bear and grin of a much worse injury than I was told, and after I made to Hong Kong airport and talked to Hong Kong Airline representative, the penalty by the airline is $60, not $450.

    CheapOAir essentially lied to me multiple times and acted very unprofessionally with multiple promises of returning calls but simply ignored my request of call back and updates. I am a frequent traveler and visiting 2-3 new countries a year. I have not made a single reservation at CheapOAir site now almost a year later and have absolutely no interest in making any future reservations. Dealing with such a dishonest company is a waste of time and they are no way to be counted on if you encounter true life emergencies.

In truth, this was a very expensive error. I was on the phone for an hour. I lost all I had saved in my original deal. My travel time was extended.

Turns out they booked me a flight in which was cancelled months ago and never notified me. I was suppose to go to Vietnam for a wedding and I have flights and cruises booked already there. The agent that helped me was courteous and wasn't her fault that she couldn't help me. But the only thing they could offer me was a refund and to help me find a "cheaper" flight as a replacement. I originally booked this flight back in September for 1200. Now this cheaper flight will cost me 2700. I accepted earlier this morning because I wasn't thinking straight and was afraid. Now I just cancelled this flight, because why should I have to repay this penalty for a mistake that was not my fault? I am going to call CheapOair and demand they help me with another flight. This is NOT quality customer service.

    They completely ruined my holiday. I had planned this amazing vacation with my girlfriend that is already over in Vietnam as she left a week early. Now we are separated and I am stuck here because of their mistake. It is their responsibility to help me. A refund is simply not good enough. They need to be working with the airlines to get me another flight, though it's getting too late for it now. As of right now they are still not helping me.

    My flight got rescheduled 5 times which is slightly irritating. What truly upsets me is that my original flight is posted for sale for $297 dollars less than what I paid for it. I contacted the customer service line and they say I would hear something back within the next 24-48 and told that honestly they probably won't be able to do anything about it because I bought my ticket earlier. I said that's not okay I will no longer use their company. He replied by saying they may just lose one customer over this. WRONG. I'll make sure everyone I can hears about the way they treat people! Merry Christmas!

    We booked travel through this company for several of our team members traveling from Brazil to the United States to attend training. We were sent an Email telling us that we needed to verify our credit card. Unfortunately, we did not receive this email until after two of our team members had already missed their flights as CheapOair did not book their flight, despite sending us a confirmation number. I called their Customer Service number and was able to get their flights rescheduled, however during the 3 hours, and 8 telephone calls I had to make (as I was transferred multiple times, and disconnected multiple times and placed on hold for excessive amounts of time) another team member missed his flight.

    Now not only do I have to re-book his flight, but now my company has to pay additional room and board as this employee had to travel to get to the airport, and we have to re-schedule his training for another date as he will not be able to attend the one he is scheduled to attend here. These losses to my company stem directly from the lack of Customer support and excessive hold and transfer times with their "customer service" and "fraud prevention" departments. The first agent I spoke with was able to re-book the first flight for the first 2 team members and they charged an additional $14.

    As a longtime traveler, I have never been more dissatisfied with a booking company. We purchased travel insurance and read all of the provided information and felt that we would be able to safely book our flight even though one of our passports was pending - suddenly Service Canada rejected our passport without notice and since we live in a very remote part of Canada, we had to change our flight - which shouldn't be an issue according to the guarantees with insurance.

    Long story short, I have never been spoken down to so much in my life. It took me three days to resolve the issues we had and at least 3 hours on hold until I was finally connected to a very helpful woman named Kathryn who resolved our issue. I did not appreciate the way I was spoken to and I was certainly not impressed with the service I was given. In addition, after the issue was resolved, I called back to see about our reservation number and again I was met with a very condescending sales rep who clearly felt I was incompetent. Thank you for ruining a trip before it has even began and making a stressful situation more painful than it ever needed to be.

    Booked a flight and realized put date of 22 instead of 23. Less than one minute I called their customer service and was told there is a $75 CheapOair fee, not airline fee because there is a 24hr window to make corrections, but not for CheapOair. They were aware that it was only minutes ago that I made the mistake and their answer was that it was clearly stated in their terms and condition. Nice customer service, don't you agree?

    I purchased 3 tickets totaling 2,633.00 to Peru. Never thought that these people will offer an option arriving to one airport and leaving from a different one, in this case NY, that would involved picking up all the luggage catch a taxi and checking again in the next airport. I called to see if they can fix it. They said no, that already passed more than 24 hours, that I had to purchase new tickets. I call the first airline and told me that I should be worry about the names being wrong in the tickets. They had our last name as our first names. Call again CheapOair, they hanged up on me 3 times.

    Call again that last person said, "Sorry for the inconvenience" and ask me to fix it at the airport, that the airline will have to request the change of names. The first airline said no, the second said no. They suggested that I should buy another 3 tickets and pay for the difference in price and penalties. I was so frustrated that I went ahead and gave my credit card to pay for new tickets. Two days later they said that they could not process the payment. I guess they were on strike at their country home quarters. Now I am stuck with all my luggage with no tickets and no money. Call CheapOair again and ask for a supervisor, still waiting for almost an hour. I will never use this site again. We travel 3 times a year local and international. They just lost my business. ** and Merry Christmas CheapOair, you suck!

    On 2015-06-28, I booked a series of flights to Moscow through CheapOAir. The series of flights included two operated by TransAero: Flight 2222 (JFK to VKO, 2015-12-21) and Flight 1111 (VKO to JFK, 2016-01-13). The total cost for the flights was $800.80. The domestic legs of the flight were operated by JetBlue, but the international legs were operated by TransAero.

    On 2015-10-12, CheapOAir notified me via email that TransAero had filed for bankruptcy. The initial plan was that TransAero flights would be filled by another carrier, presumably the Russian Aeroflot. However, as TransAero fell deeper into debt, the Russian Federation terminated its operating agreement in mid-October, shortly after I received the notice.

    On 2015-10-15, CheapOAir requested that I call them regarding the flight. I did so, and the customer service agent suggested that I cancel all four flights (two between SFO and JFK, and two between JFK and VKO), as it was unlikely that any substitute airline would pick up TransAero's flights. I agreed, and the customer service agent stated that I would be refunded. On 2015-10-16, CheapOAir successfully refunded their booking fee on the flight (about $8). However, the cost of the flights themselves (about $800) was NOT refunded.

    Starting on 2015-10-28, and over the following months, I repeatedly contacted CheapOAir regarding the flights. Note that, as of this time, the TransAero website was down, the company had completely dissolved, and there was nobody to contact. I asked CheapOAir to expedite the refund. I shared my concerns: TransAero was roughly $1.2 billion dollars in debt, and was also expected to default on AirBus and Boeing contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars. As a result, I expected that many creditors would lose money, and attempted to impress upon CheapOAir the importance of refunding my money in a timely manner.

    They repeatedly asked me to wait for two months, and stated that the refund was on its way. On 2015-12-15, having waited two months, I initiated a chargeback with Wells Fargo, my credit card issuer. They are attempting to process the chargeback now. Wells Fargo stated that the fact that I had waited nearly six months from the charge date may jeopardize my ability to get a refund.

    I am writing this feedback to help the buyers' beware. I booked a flight by cheapoair. I received the e-ticket. I went to the airport with the luggage and everything. I was shocked to learn that I cannot go to my destination since I don't have the visa for the country I am in transit. I was not told to obtain a visa for that country. I missed my flight and my trip and lost business. It was so embarrassing to go back home and answer the questions of all the friends and family. My friends told me they will never ever book flight by cheapoair. The airline staff was not helping at all after learning that I booked flight by cheapoair.

    I am absolutely disappointed with the service. I called their call center and was told that I have to pay $700 more to get a ticket in the alternate flight else I have to lose $300.00. So here I am home and also lost $$$ and lost business. I am writing this review with the intention to let my fellow consumers know that be careful and be ready to ruin your trip, if you book your trip by cheapoair. I wish I could write a positive review for cheapoair but after all this happened to me, do you think I had good experience with cheapoair?

    I have very bad experience with this website. Once you book you might save some money but read the cancellation procedure. They charge $200 Plus airline penalty, which will be fortune. Plus they will refund the money in 2 monthly cycle, means after 2 months, but they will charge the penalty immediately from your credit card but will not send you your refund for next 2 months. So very bad. Be careful from these thiefs.

So also the past few times using your service all have be fair and good. By the way my ticket I bought in 2013 was not used. Someone did say they would refund but never did I did checked again. In 2014 trip was told to try resubmitting. I suppose now and then things do fall through cracks. Anyway I still do buy my ticket from you. Have a blessed day.

    The staff of CheapOair were very helpful in arranging my flight reservations. The only problem was the seat assignments could not be confirmed by airline (even though seats were allowed by purchasers to select online). Rep from the airline explained Type Q tickets are not allowed to pre-select seats. Only Type V tickets can for Economy class. CheapOair had charged us USD29.90 for seat selection. Then, why we still could not select seats in advance? CheapOair should resolve this issue. Also, their service fees of USD38.00 should be disclosed ahead of booking and not afterwards. Thanks.

    I booked a ticket in advance with CheapOair. I have an issue with a passport that's being delayed and I need to cancel the flight more than 2 months before the actual flight. I paid in total $1450, I called to cancel and they want to refund me a total of $1103 which I can understand. Then I am told, they will charge me an additional $300 for their own cancellation fee, that's a total cost to me of $650 to cancel a ticket! How is this allowed? It does not pay to book with these low cost pirates, rather book directly with the airline. You can be assured they are reputable.

    Laverne, bag rules are listed on our site, in fact we have a link directly beneath the flight on the booking page where you can review the bag fees. These fees are accessed by the airline, and not cheapoair. The airline also has the fees listed on their website, which can be reviewed when you checked in online and printed out your boarding cards. Very sorry for the inconvenience.
