    I made a reservation. The next day I got a confirmation stating that it was a flexible reservation and the dates were changed. This is not correct and I took a photo of my reservation on my iPad to prove it. I canceled it because the new dates didn't work, and it cost over $200 to go back to the original dates I had booked. I canceled within 24 hours but was charged a fee. My photo shows the statement, worry free booking. Cancel the booking within 24 hours with no fee. Online chat can't handle any cancelation problems and I called two different numbers and was told that the site has no such policy. It is clearly written on top right corner of reservation.

    I booked a flight on line from Timmins to Toronto. When I got to the end of the booking a screen popped up asking if I wanted to change my booking or if I wanted to apply for flexible booking. I wanted neither option but was forced to select one or the other to complete my transaction. I selected the flexible option and the website booked me for Tuesday instead of the Monday flight I wanted so I phoned the "help" desk which was absolutely no help. They put me on hold, transferred me from agent to agent and then charged me a surcharge to change my flight from Tuesday back to my original choice of Monday. The agent was rude so I asked to speak with a manager. I was again put on hold and the manager was not only rude but after a long time on hold hung up on me. I will NEVER use this business again.

    It is the most horrible online experience for booking flight tickets I ever had. I tried to pay few times a ticket, either it was already sold, or the price has changed in like 2 sec. When I finally booked it I received the mail my booking was canceled because I didn't give my credit card details, which is not true. Then I did it again, just to see whose mistake it was, then I contacted the help support and he quitted the chat where I asked CHRISTOPHER about my problem. And I still don't know what about my booking, because of course, they didn't send any confirmation at all. MY ADVICE IS TO AVOID CHEAPOAIR, I wouldn't advise it to anybody.

    Yesterday I booked a flight (my usual route is BWI to TLV) and paid $1470.00 and this morning I called again after I found a better flight from BWI to TLV round trip on 4/14-4/25, 2017 (same dates) for $1260.00, and asked to change my flight and get a refund for the difference. At first they didn't find my flight and wanted to charge me $150.00 for cancellation but later they found the flight that I am referring to and they will refund me the difference which is $200.00. So I am happy and satisfied again with CheapOair.com services. Thank you. I will continue to work with you and will recommend you.

    I booked a roundtrip flight to China but was not able to return to the US until I bought an additional one-way ticket back to the states. CheapOair so far has refused to refund the extra cost for the one-way ticket saying it is up to Delta (the primary airline used for the trip). If Delta is responsible, then CheapOair should take that up with Delta. I did nothing wrong so why do I have to pay? CheapOair went so far as to say it was my responsibility because I accepted a booking with Delta. I just don't understand this way of dealing with a customer.

    CheapOair has great prices and seems good to use, but when we went to book, 2x the booking was "no longer available". The third time, we received booking confirmation. 4 days later, the booking was cancelled without explanation. Only message was that payment would be refunded in 7-14 business days. Unless you want to take the risk of spending money that may not get your tickets and will not be available for 2-3 weeks, I don't recommend using them. Too risky.

    I booked a LIAT flight through CheapOair because LIAT's booking site as usual was refusing to conclude my attempted booking with them. So I logged on to CheapOair and the transaction was completed in minutes. On the return leg I decided I wanted to fly a day earlier so got in touch with LIAT who told me as I booked through CheapOair they could not deal directly with me and I would have to make the changes through CheapOair. So I sent CheapOair three emails telling them what I wanted to do, they never to this day responded to me. So I booked directly with LIAT paying for a new ticket and losing my return section of my original ticket because CheapOair simply will not communicate. I will never use CheapOair again because I now believe they are unreliable when you have a problem. What would happen if you had a long-haul flight and required online help, I dare not even think about.

    The first issue I had with them was I was forced to re-book the day of my flight, an additional $195 fee, because online booking allowed a connecting flight that didn't leave sufficient baggage transfer time. I lodged a complaint with CheapOair and they did approve a refund, however it was discovered months later after many followups that the refund was inadvertently issued to another person/card. They're refusing to correct their mistake. I hope one day someone issues me a refund by mistake and never comes after it.

    A ticket was booked for my mom, unfortunately her last name was misspelled. I called CheapOair to fix the name but they said because she several connecting flights, it would not be possible to fix her name correction. The supervisor I spoke to the first time whose name was Davis I believe told me that if they would not allow her to take the flight I can call back to get my refund. So I ended up calling back, got transferred around 3 times, I was stuck on hold for more than an hour and spoke to another supervisor whose name is Jaden. He said that he needs to contact another department and that he'll call me back within 24 hours. I have not received a call back yet. I called again but the representative told me Jaden was not in.

    My mom missed her flight because of the poor customer service they have. This whole process is very frustrating to me and I am tired of dealing with such bad customer service. I would like to speak to the big managers about handling this process at this point! I would not recommend this company to anyone as they have the poorest customer service of all times!

    When I booked I saw the layout of the plane, it clearly had first class starting at seat 1-A and moved to coach after a few rows. I chose seat 1-A and paid the extra fee. A week before my flight I got on American Airlines to check that everything booked correctly, and found that my seat assignment is 8-A, and the layout of the plane shows there is no First Class section that the plane starts with row 8. I called CheapOair and they told me that I had selected seat 8-A and that is what I got. I insisted that I saw a First Class section on the website, and the representative says there is no First Class on this flight, so I must be wrong.

    I do not think I will ever book thru CheapOair again! They did nothing to help me, and would not refund the extra fee I had paid for what I understood to be first class. I have never flown first class and wanted to have that experience, so I'm not some spoiled person who insists on First Class. I feel that they took advantage of me, I feel deceived, and ripped off!

    Booked a flight from LAX to Dubai to Pakistan, return trip for Feb. 7th, returning 11th March -- total round-trip fare approximately under $1100 -- with Emirates Airlines flying from LAX to Dubai and then Fly Dubai to Pakistan and same on the return. On my return journey, I wanted to stop in Dubai for a couple of days, so I called CheapOair around 1st of March and asked if I could do that for a nominal fee. Their response was, "It would cost around $960 to make the change."

    Now remember, my whole trip was under $1100, and they were asking $960 just to change from Pakistan to Dubai. I asked, "What if I bought a ticket on my own to Dubai and continued my flight to LAX from Dubai on the reservation?" They replied no, if I did not stick with my original flight at Pakistan, my booking from Dubai would be canceled as well. Oh, by the way, the flight from Pakistan to Dubai was costing me $250 on my own on the same airline that CheapOair had me booked on. I will not be using CheapOair anymore.

They offer a higher price and they say the Airline didn't update their websites. I am pretty sure this is against the Law. To put a price that's not real and then call customers.

    This is the second time I got pissed off by CheapOair. Few years ago, I wanted to change the date of my ticket, but I have to pay more than the price of my original ticket to do that so I refused. By the time I arrived airport, I found out my ticket was canceled. I swallowed my anger and didn't complain anything. This time, I purchased a ticket online, they called me immediately said the price has changed, it is still 1000+ online, and they told me no they don't have that anymore, only 2000+. So I had to change to another date, which was still higher price than they post online, I bought it anyway. After I made the purchase, I realized that I used the legal name in America, and I should've use the name on my passport. At first they told me I have to pay extra 50 dollars to make the change, I didn't want to do that since they've already charged so much more from me.

    Few days later after I calmed down, I figured maybe I should've just pay the stupid 50 dollars, but they told me they can't change the name, the ticket is not transferable. I told them it's still me, just different name. I even showed them my court document to prove it's the same person. And they insist they won't change the name for me. I remembered this happened to me once years ago, and American Airline changed the name for me for free. I just don't get it how hard is it to change the name on my ticket? I have all the evidence to show I am the SAME PERSON!!! They told me if I want to change the name, I have to cancel my ticket and re-book it. And the ticket is non-refundable. ARE YOU KIDDING? Speechless. CheapOair is so funny!!! I will never use CheapOair again.

I then called back and cancelled the entire booking given their behavior and they said they would not cancel the flight unless I agreed to pay a cancellation fee.

I asked for a refund; Cheapoair supposedly approved but until now, three months after the trip, no refund was received. The insurance (Trip Mate) I bought when I booked the ticket was likewise USELESS. I had to wait for a long time to talk to a representative every time that I ask for an update, only to be told in the end that the expenses incurred (that is, the new tickets I have to buy because I missed the flight in LA) are not covered by the insurance.

    After finding the flight deal on Kayak, I had to go through CheapOair to book the actual tickets. I had used the service in January and had had to validate my credit card information with the bank to prevent fraud. It was apparently a one time thing. So I went ahead and booked the tickets only to receive an email telling me that they couldn't reach me at my phone number and that I needed to call the company to validate credit card information for my security. I'm currently in Vietnam on holidays and don't have access to my usual phone number. I sent a few emails explaining the situation but kept getting an email stating I HAD to call.

    Finally managed to get a SIM card and call only to find out that they had called the bank and some of the information wasn't correct. They asked me to call the bank and allow the payment. I called the bank and everything was fine on their end. So I call back CheapOair only to be put through the same gong show I had previously experienced.

    Finally, I had to do a three-way call with my bank to validate private information while a CheapOair attendant was listening in...all that for my security. Not only was everything fine with the information I had provided to CheapOair and the one at the bank but all the attempts by CheapOair had blocked my credit card. So I was in Vietnam with a blocked credit card because CheapOair couldn't get their ** together trying to "protect" me. It's ok to care for security but come on, this is beyond ridiculous. I've booked with Kiwi.com, eDreams, Travelocity, Expedia and nothing is as hard as booking with CheapOair. The prices are great but the back end is terrible.

    Original Review: March 27, 2017

    In August last year I booked and paid for 4 tickets Sydney to Alice Springs return. The group was my husband and I and a friend from work and her partner. I paid for their tickets as they were going to show us around the Outback. We had to end up cancelling the flights as my Dad wasn't in the best of health at the time. I lost $200 for the cancellation fee and was told that I had $2065 Qantas credit to use by August 2017.

    I have tried on numerous occasions to book something using the $2065 credit. The first time I tried to use the credit I wanted to book flights for my husband and I to the Cook Islands (for my 50th birthday) but was told no they had to be domestic flights. Fair enough. Then I inquired about going to QLD which would have left some money but was told I could only use the credit on one booking. So I looked and decided the best way to use the whole of the $2065 was to go to Western Australia.

    I went to try and book those tickets and was then told I could not use the whole of the $2065 as 2 of the tickets were in other people's names - even though they had not paid for them and I had. They can't use the tickets anyway so guess what? CheapOair gets to keep the $1030 credit that I paid for. So I went to try and book for my husband and I to go to Qld, and have been told that I will have to pay 2 x $88 new booking fees, plus approx another $180 in fees and charges. I asked them to justify the fees and charges and they said they were taxes. I said "well the fares on your site to fly return was $x and you are telling me now that I have to pay nearly $300 extra on top of that."

    I was advised that as I was rebooking after cancelling I wasn't entitled to the prices that they advertise online as those prices are just for new bookings only. Well what was I? I was making a new booking. They take forever if you deal with them online - I think they have 2 or 3 inquiries on the go at once or their grasp of English is very poor. I am already more than $2000 out of pocket. It's my money that I paid. I should be entitled to go on a holiday without having to pay more money. If this doesn't get resolved without me having to put my hand in my pocket again I will never ever book through them and I will make sure that every person I know never books with them either.

    Response from CheapOair

    Iris, first of all thank you for your business. I have looked over the reservation and see that you spoke with a billing agent who explained the charges. In January you booked 4 tickets including an infant, you were given a total cost of $949.00 for tickets including taxes and fees, we have your electronic signature agreeing to the total. You were also given a alert on the payment page that you will be billed in 2 separate transactions, not sure if you saw that or remember that. But we charged you for the air ticket in one charge, and the taxes and fees in a separate where both totaled the amount of $949.00. You added travel insurance for $51.00 total $1000.00 so when adding up the 2 charges you saw they equal the agreed upon purchase price. You also added a car rental,. that has it's own separate charges. But we consider this resolved, as there are not hidden fees, you were advised two separate charges, and everything you agreed to pay, is exactly what was charged.

    We do apologies for any confusion.

    I purchased my ticket on Feb 28th 2017, but I didn't get the traveler insurance. So I called the next day and asked if I could purchase it at a later date and was told yes but make sure I purchased it at least 10 days before my travel date of May 2nd 2017. I called back today twice to purchase the insurance and was told by one of the reps that insurance wasn't available for my route, and then told by the second rep that I had to purchase it within 14 working days of my ticket purchase. So now I have been told 3 different things by 3 different people and I still don't have travel insurance. Not to mention I was referred to CheapOair by my friend. I am a very dissatisfied customer right now.

These charges did not become apparent until an email from the airlines disclosed what the ACTUAL airfare charges were! NEVER USE THIS COMPANY!!!

    Was sold ticket on overbooked flight. Was seated on plane then taken off, put on later flight which caused my pickup to wait four extra hours then drove in the dark. I was in a wheelchair, brought to wrong gate and I pushed chair to correct gate and made my original flight in plenty of time (5410) gate 23.

And the attendants who wheel handicap persons should not put their hand out for a tip. The first attendant did and was rude. I gave her no tip.

    We have booked a trip to Dublin from Manchester for 12. We both booked at the same time as we could only do 6 at once through separate payment methods. I managed to check the first 6 in through Ryanair no problem but when I tried to check the second group of 6 through CheapOair and I could only check us in for the return journey. Contacted Ryanair and no sight of us whatsoever as it hadn't been done by CheapOair. I have had no email, phone call or anything to alert me that this hadn't been booked. The only information I have had is the confirmation when I initially booked it in good time in November which included both ways.

    Now the flights have gone up CheapOair are trying to do anything but get me on this flight as the price has gone up by some way and are trying to push that cost my way. They also thought because they hadn't taken the money it would be ok. I WANT THE FLIGHT I BOOKED AT THE PRICE QUOTED IN GOOD TIME AND FAITH. This is not my fault and DO not understand how your business model works if you can book a flight with you but can't actually rely that it's booked. You offered, have alternative flights, but they are no good. WE ARE GOING AS A GROUP! With transport already booked to the same airport at the same time...CheapOair really made me feel like it was my fault and really need a resolve ASAP because if this doesn't work I will pursue for cost incurred.

    Mr. Braybrook, we have reviewed the reservation and Ryan air was not able to confirm the outbound flight from Manchester to Dublin, we did forward an email to you back in Nov. advising the transaction was pending, but you never opened up the email, therefore never called us until 3 months later. Only the return flight with Ryan air was confirmed. You did tell us Mar 19 not to worry about confirming the flight for you on the outbound, therefore we didn't and we returned our service fee. At that point you advised this was okay, and you would take care of rebooking the unconfirmed segment.

    I booked two flights in succession through CheapOair and I was under the impression the first one was cancelled. They claim on their website if you cancel within four hours there is no cancellation fee. I called within four hours and due to a misunderstanding and unbeknownst to me it was not cancelled. I then had to cancel the second flight due to change of plans and knowing there would be a fee (it was a whooping $400). After two weeks the first flight I booked had still not been refunded like they said it would be (within 7-14 days). I contacted them and found out it had not been cancelled. That is $800 out of my pocket for a flight I never took. They never refunded all of my money like they said they would if you cancel "within four hours."

    I would not recommend CheapOair to anyone; they don't care about keeping their customers. When I called about my refund, they transferred me to four different agents, constantly spoke over me and would not let me finish my sentence. They were not helpful at all nor were they polite. They then told my husband they would call within 48 hours and did not. They ultimately stole my money, stay away.

    Mr. Gardiner, after reviewing your reservation, the payment was indeed made to the airline on Jan. 1. that is when your reservation was made, and tickets issued. travel wasn't until Jan. 4 allowing plenty of time for the airline to have received your payment of $130.00 for 2 tickets. In the meantime, we requested you to send us the receipt for the tickets you purchased at the counter, but unfortunately you didn't save them! the airline request we have submitted required a receipt and your explanation as to why you purchased new tickets, and the proof, however, you advised us to contact the airline for them. This has been ongoing for months due to the fact we don't have the necessary paper trail, and Indonesia airlines has not authorized a refund as of yet.

    Those people show you flights that are canceled as perfectly normal. Then when the customer misleadingly buys a ticket, they refuse to do a refund without any penalty. So essentially, they make their CUSTOMERS PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES. What a bunch of crooked thieves! I was booking 2 separate flights. I looked in CheapOair's system and found: Flight 1: Calgary to London Gatwick. Departing on May 8th and arriving in London Gatwick at 10:35 am on May 9th. Flight 2: London Luton to Sofia, Bulgaria. Departing London at 8:20 pm (evening) and arriving in Sofia at 1:05 am on May 10.

    I clicked "Select" on both flights to ensure that the flights are available. Everything appeared to be fine. I proceeded to fill out my info for Flight 1. All was good. I purchased the flight. Done deal. Then I moved on to Flight 2. Once again, I filled out everything and hit "Reserve". But then the system gave me an error, which was not about a filled flight. I phoned CheapOair and even they were seeing this flight as normal. So they tried to book me on it from their end - without success. So I asked to get a refund on my first flight, as there were no other night flights from London to Sofia in the price range that I was after. All options were in the hundreds-of-dollars price range, whereas my original flight was only 66 dollars. I got transferred to some other department, where they argued with me for 15 minutes that they must charge me 50 dollars for the cancellation.

    Eventually they said they'll bring it down to $25. So I agreed because I was tired of arguing with those thieves. At the end of the day, they charged me $25 because I was canceling a flight 30 minutes after purchasing it, due to THEIR OWN mistake. Absolutely horrible service. I will make sure to NEVER EVER again buy from CheapOair and I will tell this to all my friends, relatives and I will post this experience in all flying forums available. PS: The reason I could only flight in the evening was because I wouldn't have enough transfer time from London Gatwick to London Luton or any other airport. You screwed up BIG time, CheapOair!

    Michael, we have looked over your reservation, and found that the dates you searched for, is exactly what was booked., There are times when we offer a flexible date for a cheaper fare, but that was not the case with your booking. We have a screen shot of what was entered into the search: 03/11/2017 02:42:38 - MAINWEBSITE
    Search details of the client are as follows
    City Pair : LAX - GDL
    Dates : 03/24/2017 - 0500 - : 03/27/2017 - 0500

    Trip Type : ROUNDTRIP

    and those are the flights and dates you got. We did review the call and you did call to make a change, after finding out the fees and the air fare difference was too expensive to change to Mar 31, that's when the discussion of our website was faulty. We didn't hear the agent telling you that our site was having problems causing the wrong flights to be booked, so there must of been some miscommunication. We did discuss changing this further with you, and you asked to leave as is that you would speak with the airline directly. This was booked on Mar 11, but you called on March 20, it was to late to void out the booking and get a refund. We hope that the airline was able to accommodate you, and resolved to your satisfaction.

    CheapOair called me regarding a multicity tour booking I entered in the website. I booked the Singapore airline flights with CheapOair. But after I booked it, I checked Singapore airlines fare and it was cheaper. I called them back right away after I found that out. The person I talked to said that they will match Singapore airlines' price and will credit back the amount difference in my credit card. I trusted that they will give me back the difference but when I got my credit card statement after one week the credit was not there.

    I called them again, they ask me why I did not call right away. I told the person the reason why and he said he will ask his manager and he will call me back for the answer. I never received a call anymore from them. Until now, I did not get a credit for the airfare difference which is $180. I will never use this company again. I never intend to use this company but they were the one who called me and told me that their airfare price was the best.

One agent booked my return flight to the wrong airport for which my credit card was charged. Once that correction was made, no e-ticket was issued. If I hadn't checked with the airline regarding seating, I wouldn't have known about the problem, as I received a booking confirmation for the flights from CheapOair. Charges for the changed flights, including an ARC charge (travel agent fee?) for $116.24 were posted to my account.

    Gina, our apologies if the booking process was rather long. When your credit card was declined on 2/27 and we didn't hear back from you until 3/3, the fare had increased. The agent did assist you with finding new flights at a reasonably cost that you agreed to. That's when it was determined that the return flight was booked into a nearby airport. We did correct the flight but there was the original charge of $116.24. The tickets did get issued correctly and again our apologies for the delay in the process.

As you mentioned, you backed out! we would of sent you an email immediately for your review. When you booked with expedia for a cheaper fare, you received a cheaper fare because you changed your dates and the flight times, and we may of also offered that lower fare as well. We are working with the airline to see if they will refund the ticket, but because the dates are different, and times, they may not consider it a duplicate. Our apologies for the inconvenience!

    I bought a flight to New York - Manila last April 3. I talked to the agent and told me that as long as I have the travel insurance I can rebook my flight. I gave them a call yesterday because I wanna change the date of my flight. They charged me 180 dollars. They told me that it's the difference of the two flight. After the call, I searched for my new flight and discovered that it has the same price with my old flight. They charged me the amount that I don't deserve to pay. Wrong information to customer. I'm really disappointed.

    Abie, we have investigate your concern and found that you booked the insurance online with the flight information. No agent assisted with the purchase of the insurance, nor can we find any evidence you spoke with an agent prior to calling us back to make a change. Insurance does not cover a change of plans, or date change therefore you would not have been covered by insurance, and we did send you a pdf file for your review of what insurance covers. The additional cost was for the airline change fee, after 24 hours your fare is subject to any airline fees applicable for any changes. The fare was the same, but the add collect was the penalty. We did refund you the money for insurance, as you no longer needed it. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Four days ago I've got email notice from agency - CheapOAir on flight schedule changes. However, the Airlines confirmed the original flights. I cannot LOG IN at the Agency site to re-confirm my Original Bookings. CheapOAir didn't respond any of my calls and emails on this change. I don't know what to do next.

    Response from CheapOair

    Michelle, sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. We have reviewed your reservation and noticed that you where charged for a reservation you made online and tickets issued. You called back later, and made changes, therefore a new reservation had to be made along with issuing a new ticket, which causes another charge for the new ticket. As explained, the first transaction was voided, and will fall off your charge card within a couple of days. So because of the change this caused 1 temporary charge.

    My original flight was cancelled so I called CheapOair so that I could have them notify the rental company I would be a day late and to hold my reservation. I was willing to pay for the day I would miss but the representative for CheapOair would not do that. He offered to book another reservation at a much higher rate so I asked for the rental company car number so I could contact them myself. The call was disconnected while he was giving me the number and although he had my number he did not return my call as he said he would.

    When I arrived I found the address listed on my invoice was for another company. I had to have another rental company agent call someone who did have a car available to rent. She also explained this happened often with CheapOair. Thankfully the rest of my trip went as scheduled but it cost an additional $118 dollars for the rental car. After my trip I contacted CheapOair to complain. At that point they were willing to call the rental agent to confirm I had a reservation and that I was a no show. They had no response when I asked them how I was to contact them when there was no number on the invoice and the car rental company address did not match the name. The rep offered to credit the $15 booking fee and gave me an email to contact to further my claim.

    I have not heard back from them since. I will not be doing business with them again. While booking the flight was fine, it's fine with any of their competitors as well. However the nuisance and lack of service when combining other parts of my trip wasn't worth it. I managed to change the hotel reservations I had booked on my own without issue but CheapOair seemed more concerned with generating additional fees or preserving the ones they had rather than assisting me.

    I booked a flight on CheapoAir. I think CheatOair would be a better title. I was quoted $240 Australian. I made the booking but after filling out my details, it came up with price change $340, I didn't look carefully and clicked then realised afterwards that the airfare had gone up $100. Usually I am taken to my bank's website to check details but this didn't happen and the transaction had gone through. When I checked my bank account it was $351, so I had paid over $110 over the quoted price and on top of that the airline had charged me twice so $700 was taken out.

    I was told I could get a refund within 24 hours and after a 40 minute phone call to CheapOair I was told that I would be charged $110 Australian to cancel, which ironically is the amount they overcharged me! There is no way a fare goes up $100 in the time it takes to book, it was never $240, but always $340. I feel cheated and angry, the customer service person, told me I wouldn't be able to get a cheaper fare and was unapologetic with regards to the situation. Please be wary of this website and airfare change right at the end of the booking.

    UPDATED ON 03/05/2017: Since writing my review about being charged twice and an extra $100 being added to the final charge at the last minute CheapOAir have been in touch and have said they will refund the difference in flight costs. However, when I was charged twice $352 was taken from my account and only $333 refunded so I am out of pocket $19 Australian due to an error on their side. The same amount should be refunded.

I then called British Airways who informed me that their cancellation fee was only $85. So for whatever reason, CheapOair is charging $215 more than they should be charging and they were blaming it on British Airways saying that that was the fee charged by the airline, which is incorrect. When I tried to tell them, they refused to listen and continued to say that the fee was charged by British Airways. I've spoken to multiple representatives at CheapOair who all told me the same lie.

    I had a fairly large party, seven adults, for whom to arrange international travel. I tried several different well-known sites to estimate the travel and prices before I tried CheapOair. CheapOair was slightly less expensive and significantly easier to use than the other sites. Two practical examples. 1 - The website trip planner works better than other sites. Especially for multi-city trips. Plus you can easily mix and match outbound trips and return trips with the 'select this departure' feature. Also, shows you the Delta in price for selecting return trips. Makes price comparison easy. 2 - Other sites will not let you book more than six passengers at a time. That was a problem since I had seven persons. I was told by the other sites that I would have to make two separate bookings and take my chances that the flights and pricing would still be available. Not acceptable.

    I was very relieved to see that CheapOair allowed me to reserve all seven passengers in one booking. I planned my trip on the CheapOair website, then called an agent who was able to verify all information very thoroughly and complete the booking. (Pro tip for travelers: learn and use the NATO phonetic alphabet so you can clearly spell names over a phone. It is more clear, plus you feel super cool like a heroic astronaut or fighter pilot for using the phonetic alphabet.)

    Anyway, the CheapOair booking agent was able to beat the prices on the website and that made it worthwhile calling them. Plus I was able to replicate exactly the bookings on the website while he was looking things up on his end. After the transaction was completed, I quickly received an e-mail confirmation and I went to the airline website and was able to confirm that the booking was accurately recorded. So I am all set for my trip with a major piece of planning completed. So, in summary, I was able to get a slightly better price from the booking agent than what was on the website and nice flights with good layovers. To top it off, it took a reasonable amount of time to complete the booking.

    Website switches dates and NO customer service assistance. 3 days after buying a ticket on an airline to return home from a trip, I showed up at the ticket counter and presented my ID to get a boarding pass. Unknown to me CheapOair switched the dates and gave me a ticket 3 days later. I had to buy a $500 return ticket on the spot to get home. After talking with a customer service rep who was unable to assist, I asked for a manager and have been on hold for 30 minutes now and probably will be on permanent hold. Use another company. Don't get scammed by CheapOair.

    I was booking round trip flights for the fam spring break and couldn't get the return flight we wanted and would have had to cut vacay short. Received a call from CheapOair rep. Surprised to say the least. I got the flight I needed and the rep got our seats by each other at a great price. I had only dead ends at another site which kept showing the flight we needed as available only it was sold out.

    I recently booked a flight through Cheapoair and not only did I run into an issue but two major issues. First they incorrectly spelled my name on the ticket and just to fix that took almost a hour on hold. Then after getting off the phone after a hour my credit card was charged TWICE for the same flight.

    Flights were in time and had early arrivals. We booked online and everything was easy and smooth. When I called with a question was connected with a representative immediately. An actual person. Not a recording. I would book definitely through CheapOair again.

    I booked a flight and when I went back to look at it something popped up to change it and I clicked on it by accident and it changed my flight to another day. I tried to go back in and change it but it said I had to call to change it. I did and the agent was very helpful in helping me change it to the right day. It was all taken off and put on my account promptly and I appreciate that.

    I tell everyone about CheapOair. It's great! And the fares get even get better when you call and work with a customer service rep. And booking priority seats is much cheaper with a rep. And there is even a rewards program. It doesn't get better than that!

    By mistake, I must have clicked the "flexible rate" setting so when reviewing my flight, the next day, realized it was for the wrong date! Immediately called and the flight was changed, even though I had to pay a bit extra! Just so glad I caught it - and it was a fixable problem!!

    What a waste of time, space and money. Book a trip in November, had to cancel in Dec 2016. Was issued a 'credit' for airfare, minus $25 fee. Was happy with the credit. Was two different credits, AA and United Airlines. Going to re-book the travel plans for this March 2017. Was informed there was $200 per credit penalty per airlines for using the credit. Making the credits worthless, since they were each under $200. CheapO's excuse, "We're just a travel agency". Who is issuing false credits, they stole my money. I will never use CheapOair, suggest it or even reimburse my employees who use them. They are not customer minded and will take every opportunity to take advantage of you and your wallet.

    I spoke with a customer service representative about changing my date of flight to the destination and the return flight destination time and date. The customer service representative was very attentive to my request. Very easy to get along with. I am still waiting on the New Airline Ticket Itinerary email to be sent to me confirming my dates of travel, time of arrival to each location. Really did not care for the price increase but my mistake for not taken the holiday in the Philippine Islands in consideration but still pretty high at $399.00 - I will live... Sincerely appreciate the customer service representatives support. Thank you.

    Booked round trip travel from MSP to IAH (3/8-3/27/17) on Delta through CheapOair. Paid so I would be able to select seats in advance. Delta won't issue seat assignments; says because of type of ticket I purchased and Cheapo should not have told me that could happen. Everybody is passing the buck... And I'm in the middle not receiving service I paid for. Cancellation of seat charge is not acceptable -- I want a seat assignment more than 24 hours in advance of my flight as I don't want to end up in a middle seat in the back of the airplane. Very disgusted with both Cheapo and Delta!!

    Marilyn, the fare you purchased on Delta airlines is what they are now selling as a basic economy ticket. They just came out with these fares over the weekend and it is a bare minimum fare that is suppose to save customer's money. It is alot like the low cost carriers that do not include the option to get seats, preadvance boarding, and no carry on luggage. The money was refunded back to you because your fare does not qualify for advance seating, which will be done at the airport by the Delta agents. Our seat management team has been trying to contact you to discuss. Our apologies for the inconvenience this new fare structure with the airline has caused.

    When I realized I was able to purchase the tickets at a lower rate through the airline within 36 hours, CheapOair refunded the extra money I'd paid for them - even though it was past the 24-hour deadline. I would definitely use CheapOair to compare rates when traveling in the future.

    Original Review: Feb. 15, 2017

    I purchased 4 tickets to Boston via JetBlue late on a Monday, Feb. 13th and realized early the morning of the 14th that the tickets would have been $140 cheaper had I purchased directly from JetBlue. I had seen the advertisement on Cheapoair that I could get a refund if I found a better deal. When I called early the next morning, about 9 hours after I purchased the tickets, Cheapoair informed me that the refund option was only good for 4 hours. The takeaway is that you should check directly with the airline first and then be aware that the refund option is only good for 5 hours. I am out $140.

    Brenda, sorry to hear of your recent booking experience. We have looked over the reservation and found that you had booked this online Feb. 13 at 11:43PM we show that you called on Feb 14. at 6:53am , we do have a policy if you call us within 4 hours of making the reservation, you can cancel and get a refund if the airline allows it, without a cancel fee. But you have upto 24 hours to cancel and get a refund, but there is a cancellation fee of $25.00 per person. It seems as though the cancel policy was misinterpreted, and the time frame of the call. The price difference is $100.00 for taxes and fees for 4 travelers, and you purchased seat assignments at a price of $39.95. For further assistance, please contact our billing department.

    I would recommend this agency to my friends. My first time using them but will try the service again. The agent I said Akkad to had broken English and was hard to understand but I manage. It would help if the service was not outsource and they used American workers that understand English. The only problem I had.

    Booked both international and domestic flight to and within India. Customer service agent saved me ton of money by booking me a domestic flight with 2 check-in baggage included. In my last visit to India we paid $380 (Rs. 25,500) just in baggage fees as we were overweight by 50 kgs. Domestic flights in India charges Rs 500 per kg baggage fees. I explained my previous experience about baggage fees to CheapOair's travel agent and she gave me unbelievable $86 fare including 2 check-in baggage from BOM-AMD. Its a HUGE savings to me. My ignorance costed me ton on money in my previous trip.

    I purchased two tickets through this site. I never received a confirmation email. I went on the site to search for my bookings and it said they did not exist. The email address for customer service doesn't actually exist, either. But my bank account was definitely charged for both tickets that I have no other evidence of having bought nor do I have any confirmation info or flight info or any way of being sure that my seat is secured on the flight. Thanks for nothing Cheapoair.
