    I booked flights in August 2014 for flights for 3 to the Philippines and I threw away my flight details though already past because I needed to prove I was out of the country. I tried to get it from my email but unable to. But the agent who assisted, I think it was Elliot was very very helpful. I have again book another flight with CheapOair for Nov. 5, 2015 (booking Ref.#** for your reference). I have always used CheapOair when booking flights for me and my family. I even recommended it to my friends and relatives. Services are good, though sometimes you can have a difficult and unfriendly representative but that does not deter me from using the company.

    When I made my reservations to fly to Germany on AirBerlin, I purchased an additional policy, which I was assured would enable me to make changes if necessary. Changes became necessary. I no longer have use for tickets to Germany. I have called multiple times; no two customer service representatives have given me the same information twice. In my final conversation I was advised that the only changes I can make must include Germany as the destination and must be with the same airlines. Never again with CheapOair.

    Hello, not only are you the best online option for providing the most competitive prices around (IMOP), when it comes to customer services relating to changing flights - well I can only say you are hard to beat! On both occasions that I called, I was answered promptly and although not "natural" English speakers, they were very eloquent & fluent. They sorted my issue out in under 10 minutes for the best outcome for me & my wallet, & followed that up with confirmation emails almost instantly. I could not be happier with my experience with CheapOair. Well done & thank you very much.

    We book a one way airline ticket, pay extra for ability to cancel. Customer service charges $50 to cancel and then you only get a credit for a future flight AFTER you pay a $200 rebooking fee. Are you kidding me??? Nobody can stay in business like this. And they represent American Airlines and say it's your fault. That is about the most NON-AMERICAN way of doing business I have ever encountered.

    I booked a round trip flight from YEG to YYZ on 12/23/2015 until 01/01/2016 using the CheapOair travel service. I received an email from CheapOair regarding a major flight schedule change and they provided an alternate option that was unacceptable. I called the customer service desk immediately. I was on hold for over ten minutes and got through to their department in India. The customer service representative was not helpful and after 15 minutes the man was insistent that I call Air Canada Reservations to change my flight schedule. I called AC Toronto Reservations and a woman told me that CheapOair was responsible for changing my flight and that there is nothing AC could do on their end. I called CheapOair back and asked to speak with a supervisor so that I may resolve this issue.

    After 10 minutes of asking me questions about my situation and "speaking with a supervisor," the representative took my number and said a supervisor would call me back within 24 hours. It has been a week and a lady from the New York office left a voicemail on my phone, only to give me the same option that was given in the previous email that I replied as "I do not accept this schedule change." Finally, I got through to someone named Robert, from the Las Vegas flight schedule change department and he was able to give me a better option. This is my first experience doing business with CheapOair, and I'm not sure if I'd do it again because of the customer service representatives in India and New York. Robert from Las Vegas definitely made me happy and I will think about booking with cheapoair.com again despite the previous experience that I would describe as terrible.

    Booked a flight on CheapOair on 7/24/15 and purchased travel insurance. United Airlines cancelled my 10 hour (1 way) flight and replaced it with a 23 hour flight (1 way) a mere 2 weeks later. Airline completely refunded my $$ since they could not find me an acceptable flight. Trip Mate (CheapOair's travel insurance) would not refund or transfer the $85 I spent on travel insurance. What a RIP-OFF! So, I got to spend $85 for nothing. Needless to say, I won't be doing business with CheapOair or Trip Mate any time soon, and I'll be sure to pass the word to everyone I know!

    I had called CheapOair and made a reservation for my son to fly from Denver to Newark, NJ. I told the associate the dates and made a reservation. To make a long story short, the associate never told me my son would need to change airports from Dulles to Reagan at 5:30 in the morning. If I was told that he needed to get to another airport 20+ miles away, I would have never made that reservation, ever.

    When I emailed CheapOair the woman rep admitted the associate did not tell me after listening to our recorded conversation. But they would not refund the taxi cost because my son did not get a receipt - it was not a business trip where he would have some reimbursement! Don't you know it was his complete responsibility to get to the other airport? Actually it was more expensive than any other flight he could have taken with the stress. You would think it was a no brainer to refund the taxi because we were NEVER told about an airport change which I have never done myself as a business traveler and CheapOair doesn’t care about their clients at all. Never use CheapOair!

    My experience with CheapOair was very stressful and I will never deal with them again. I used their website to book my honeymoon trip flights with them with one failed attempt. ATTEMPT #1: I found a great price on our flights on CheapOair website (same price was available on all other sites). I jumped at the opportunity and booked right away. I received a confirmation email from CheapOair almost right away confirming my booking.

    A day and a half later, however, I saw another email from CheapOair (which in the subject just looked like another booking confirmation) that stated that CheapOair tried contacting me on the phone (a supposed phone call that I never received) and they need me to confirm my purchase since it was over a certain amount of dollars. I called the number on the e-mail and the customer service representative said that the information I provided for my credit card did not match EXACTLY the information with my bank and that my bank has a rule that for purchases over certain amount, information has to match EXACTLY what is on their file before they will let a payment through (LIE #1, I contacted my bank and they do not have this rule. That was Cheapoair policy. In fact, I was told by my bank that CheapOair tried putting through a payment of 0$ to check if everything was ok and it went through with no issue).

    So after confirming all of my information with the CheapOair representative I was told that tickets will be issued within hours and sent to my email. I DID NOT RECEIVE TICKETS. I called CheapOair again to find out why my tickets haven't been issued. At that point the representative told me that the price of tickets went up by $300!!! That is a big difference from the original price for two people, a significant amount for a young couple on a budget!!! I did not want to pay that much so my booking was cancelled. CheapOair did not take ANY responsibility about the fact that they FAILED to contact me in time and could have put my payment through right away and didn't, and LIED about the reason, and then never bothered to contact me when price went up so my tickets just weren't going to be issued unless I CALLED!

    ATTEMPT #2. The price for our flights continued to rise and we never saw the same deal again as the first time. So finally when we saw a slight decrease in the price we decided to buy again with CheapOair. This time the price was $350 more per person compared to the first one we saw. I didn't want to take any chances so I called CheapOair and booked over the phone with an agent. There was some negotiation with the price since he wouldn’t give us the price advertised on the web. Reasons given were: you need to pay extra to check one bag which is not true since this is an international flight, and that the price with the airlines has gone up.

    Finally, after talking to his manager we settled on a price and received a confirmation email with the price as quoted over the phone. Four hours later still no email with the tickets. I called CheapOair back and the person over the phone said they will issue the tickets right now. When I received the email the price on the tickets was $150 more per person than the quote. We were NOT notified that the price went up, and my credit card was charged at a higher price.

    I was outraged and called CheapOair back AGAIN to find out what happened. The answer I got was “we don't know what happened” and that I need to speak with the agent that we booked with. I said I want to only pay what was agreed upon and that I want to speak to a manager. I was told that a manager is going to call me back and that the agent that I made that booking with is also going to call me back. NO ONE called.

    I also called the airline to make sure the tickets I received are even real. The airline representative said that, “Yes, it’s all good” and mentioned the price that the tickets were purchased for and it was $180 less per person than what we paid. So that was a bunch of BS from the CheapOair guy that the price went up with the airline. NEVER booking with them again. Very unprofessional, unreliable, and frankly sneaky company! After all of this we ended up paying $1000 more for our tickets than we could have, have I gone with a different booking company to begin with.

    I made reservations through CheapO more than 6 months before my trip. I received a change notification giving me close to a 12 hour layover instead of a 1.5 hour layover. I checked the airlines website, Alitalia, and they still offered the original flight and it was even the same list price as the one I was switched to. I called CheapO. They tried to switch me back to my original flight. They said the flight was now being "operated" by a different airline so they couldn't do anything. I went back into CheapO's website and found my flight for $100 more. Alitalia is pulling a Bait and Switch and CheapO doesn't have the pull to stop it. I travel a lot always book online and this has never happened to me. Poor representation!!

    I made an international reservation at 2 PM. I asked for cancellation policy and was told I have 4 hours to cancel or do changes. After 4 hours there is fees by airlines. I called at 4:00 PM to cancel. Representative indicated that I won't get full refund on credit card but partial airline credit after a fee of cancellation applies. So I will never get a full credit card refund even after calling within the 4 hours because their representative failed to explain that Spirit never refunds only gives airline credit. I asked to speak to supervisor who put me on hold for 65 minutes. He return stating he can do anything at this time but to put a petition to airline asking to refund full amount to credit card but he can't promise anything and process takes a full billing month.

    I had booked a flight to Kazan Russia in April 14th 2015. Everything was fine and the agent was very courteous. However, I received an alert on July 30 that an afternoon flight was changed to a morning flight. Okay, I clicked "accept" and was told I would hear from someone. Never happened. Ten days later I called them and they acted like they were not aware of the situation. Finally, I was passed over to a supervisor who stated that I needed to contact the airline to approve the schedule change and to NOT call them back. Okay, they gave me the number of Finnair and I was immediately greeted by a wonderful English speaking woman who graciously walked me through the schedule change. It wasn't the morning flight change but the return trip that CheapOair didn't tell me about or wasn't even aware of! She told me to call Cheapo back to confirm as she just sent the new itinerary to them but Cheapo said NOT to call them back.

    I called anyway and pushed the foreign speaker until he understood what was going on and finally understood the confirmation change and called Finnair. He told me not to worry and don't call us for two days. We have not received anything back nor any confirmation of anything. It's now down to crunch time and we don't know if we have any confirmed tickets at all. Super lousy assistance from these people. I find their service absolutely sub par. I tried to call back after three days and they won't accept my confirmation number and I get put on hold forever.

    On March 15, 2015, I purchased four round-trip airline tickets for a total of $2,268.84. On June 23, 2015, I called to inquire about a refund and was advised that a waiver would be sent requesting a refund, but was not guaranteed. I was simply inquiring about a refund and at no point authorized a cancellation of the booking. I was told I would receive an answer in 15 days. The 15 days passed with no contact so I called again on July 6, July 14, July 20, July 23, July 29, and August 10. Each time I was given a different excuse as to why it was taking such a long time for a response. At one point, the customer service representative told me it was taking a long time because it was a lot of money involved. I contacted the airline and was advised that CheapOair is a travel agent and that the airline has nothing to do with the tickets since CheapOair owns the tickets.

    Furthermore, I found out on August 10 from the airline that CheapOair cancelled my booking on June 23, which was the very first call I made to them. For almost two months, CheapOair has lied to me by telling me that my booking was still in place and it even shows as an upcoming trip on their website. According to the airline, my four tickets have already been sold to someone else and the flight is now unavailable. I called CheapOair and asked to speak to a supervisor. The person was argumentative and was caught in several lies during the call. The supervisor refused to help and said he could only book another flight to include charging me an additional $800 plus any difference in the airfare. My original flight is no longer available and all he can do is cite a no guarantee policy. The no guarantee is for the refund. I did not expect CheapOair to cancel my booking, sell my four tickets, and keep the $2,268.84. This seems like larceny to me.

    I was trying to book a ticket from O'hare Chicago IL to Fayetteville AR using CheapOair. I entered destination 'Fayetteville' for sure and departure date 'Sept. 5.' When it returned results, the top few hits changed the departure date to Sept. 3 without warning. Luckily, I realized that and avoided it but it changed the destination too! From Fayetteville to Fort Smith! Without any notice! This misled me to book a wrong ticket! I fully trust this search engine, and thinking that it would only change the date to offer good prices but not the destination, which doesn't make any sense if it is changed. But it did change it and without any warning!

    Now, the ticket is not refundable. I have to drive additional hours to get to my destination and this disrupts my schedule as well! Thanks a lot CheapOair! It is understandable to display results with near date and destination as a reference to travelers to help them make better decisions. But they should be displayed at the bottom of the hits with a big notice stating that these are results with dates and locations changed. It is very dishonest and irresponsible to display such results as the first few hits simply because the related prices are lower than that offered by its honest competitors, while misleading travelers to book flights they don't want. Won't use CheapOair ever. It doesn't even have basic integrity and honesty. Very angry and disappointed.

    I booked the ticket for my son when he was still an infant (below 2-y), CheapOair processed the infant flight ticket for the round trip and ignored the case of he would not be an infant any longer based on returning date. At the point of returning date, the baby was refused to check in on airport due to his infant ticket was invalid. This was a CheapOair's fault and mistaken by this agent. You will see how awful and unprofessional they are!

    I have reported this issue 15 days ago to CheapOair, but got no any apology and feedback! Your guys are professional agent and you guys should have the knowledge how to book the infant ticket properly - as he will not be a 2-year old baby on returning date, why did you guys still book the infant ticket and sent us the confirmation letter? With the worst quality of service CheapOair provided, they gave me no answer so far since it happened on 07/18. I think you guys should changed name to 'cheatOair. Please take this as an incident of air ticket booking with CheapOair, they are not professional travel agent!

    I do not recommend CheapOair.com. We bought tickets for JFK-Bucharest trip via Berlin in March for August 2015. Flight from JFK to Bucharest via Berlin was ok. But our flight back was cancelled and nobody bothered to notify us, we found out in the airport at 4am, having 2 kids with us. The information desk said that it was strange as we were the only ones asking about Bucharest-Berlin flight. We called the CheapOair.com who said that they did not have any updates about the flight and everything should go as scheduled, put us on hold to investigate but hung up on us after 30 min of waiting. We called the Air Berlin who asked us in a very clear English to call later as there was nobody speaking English at that time.

    Clarification came from Menzies airport office who told us that our Bucharest-Berlin flight was changed to a day before (from August 6 to August 5), without any notification sent, without any information regarding the accommodation for the night, and that flight Berlin-JFK remained unchanged. The lady also mentioned that OUR FLIGHT had been CANCELLED a MONTH BEFORE, still nobody at the CheapOair.com made the changes in their systems, notified the customers. The help came from Menzies who called their offices and changed our tickets to Lufthansa flight via Frankfurt for the same day at a later hour. Although we safely got home with just a few hours late, I believe that CheapOair.com showed professional negligence towards its customers.

    We understand that flight changes may occur but customers should be notified in advance, especially when there is plenty of time to do so. Those few dollars saved with acquiring the tickets on CheapOair.com do not pay their lack of reliability. In addition, it is impossible to post a negative review on their website. Do not recommend CheapOair.com.

    I purchased tickets from this website to go to NYC. I was charged $12 for select my seats and a $22 service fee for using their website. Nowhere on the website does it say that you will be charged for selecting your seats. I was able to get a refund on the seat selection. I then asked the rep about the service fee on my receipt that it was nowhere to be found. The rep kept on yelling at me, and would not let me speak. She told me that the only way to get an invoice is by asking for it. I explained to her that how is that fair to the customer. That the only way that they can see what they are being charged for is by asking for it. I also explained to her that on my confirmation email that it did not say anything about this. She continued to yell at me and I asked to be transferred to a supervisor. She then said it usually takes about 20 to 30 mins for a supervisor. I told her I am fine waiting for that.

    She still then continued to yell at me and asked if I would prefer to speak to the billing department I said "yes". The billing lady had an attitude and better explained to what the charges were and how much I would be charged on my account. I also told her that the previous lady was yelling at me and did not understand what I was saying. She said "oh sorry", and asked if I needed more help.

After waiting for almost 2 hours to cancel my reservation as I noticed after reservation that the actual cost was not displayed during reservation, I have been yelled by the customer care representative in a very unprofessional manner to call in a day time if I couldn't wait.

    I as a customer spent 2 hrs and still not able to take hold on the customer service to cancel my reservation and the customer care representative responded in such an unprofessional way. I have been told by him I could hung up the phone on him. CheapOair indicates their customer care service is 24/7 which is not true. I vow I will never use CheapOair again.

Say they are working with airline to get everything how it is supposed and that they will call us in 2-3 business days with a resolution but they never call and we call again. The cycles repeats in which we have even had supervisors raising their voice to us, cutting us in a very condescending and rude manner and hanging up on us and then having the guts of emailing us saying they try to reach us! And when we call same thing and this has being going for weeks.

    We asked to be transferred to executive office and got the billing department voice mail, etc. So far they are the worst company to book a flight with and we are seeking how to report them to all the consumer agencies, media and even thinking of pursuing legal action as we have recorded most of this conversations and had them admit in some of them their mistake. The flight is supposed to depart from US to another country in 8/12/15 and this is the time they had not resolved anything.

    I booked a flight to Ireland for my friend through CheapOair flights. They booked Ryanair. They failed to send confirmation of the flight and after 24 hours and numerous calls to the company I received an Email confirmation regarding the flights to and from Ireland. The Email appeared to be sent from Ryanair. On checking the information, we noticed that the baggage requested was 15kgs. I had requested 20 kgs. Neither Ryanair nor CheapOair flights would accept responsibility. An extra £30 was paid by my friend to Ryanair for changing the baggage weight even though it was not our mistake.

    When it came to booking the boarding pass for my friend 2 days before she left, the website would not allow this. I spoke to a customer service agent whose English was very poor and difficult to understand. It took 3 further calls to be told that it was down to CheapOair to sort out. They in turn were denying any responsibility as I had no email from them to suggest that any booking had been done through them! One agent hung up on me and the second refused to discuss it any further. This has been a nightmare and I have no hesitation in refusing a recommendation for this company.

    I wanted to warn others about using CheapOair. I booked 2 separate airline reservations in June 2015 using CheapOair for a recent trip to Europe. The bookings were separate and charged to 2 separate credit cards. Both of my cards were overcharged for both bookings. And not in USD as the website said - in foreign currency (one in euros and the other in British pounds). That doesn't seem like a one-time mistake but I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    Over the course of 6 weeks, I called 4 times, I sent 2 emails and included confirmation emails from them stating what the correct charges should have been, then statements from my credit card showing the fraudulent overcharges. Still nothing. Everytime I call they ask me to resend the statements for review - then no action and the cycle starts again.

    On 8/3/15, I booked a flight from Miami to San Francisco for a friend that will be visiting. I found a very good deal on CheapOair.com which was cheaper than other similar websites. After booking the flight, I never received an email confirmation so I called the company which took about 15 minutes to answer my call. The male customer service rep was able to find the reservation and emailed me the confirmation receipt. He then told me that the ticket number had not yet been issued but I would receive it within the next four hours. In addition, this rep was extremely pushy on selling the $14.99 flight protection insurance which I had to deny about four times. On 8/4/15, I checked my email and never received the ticket number like he stated I would get in four hours. It had now been about 15 hours with no ticket number. I began researching customer reviews for this company and found many negative reviews.

    Some of the reviews were about mistakes on the customer's ticket and others had problems changing their flight reservations. I ended up calling this company again and the female customer service rep was very helpful and polite. She looked at my reservation and did not know why the ticket number had not been issued since everything on my end appeared fine. She placed me on hold and contacted the ticket issuing department and after a few minutes of waiting she provided me with my ticket number and an email confirmation. Overall, the issues had been resolved and I got good customer service the second time I called, but I would be hesitate to use this company again to book another flight since two mistakes happened for one booking reservation. Luckily, both did not end up costing me anything to fix, but it's very concerning that there are issues with issuing flight tickets which could be very problematic if not caught in time.

    Our vacations started with a very unpleasant situation at the airline front desk at the time of checking in. After two years of not going anywhere due to the nature of my business, we finally planned a trip to Spain for two weeks. I was told before not to book airplane tickets through CheapOair but the price of the tickets multiply by each of my family members convinced me to book these tickets with CheapOair. I made a mistake of ignoring a friend's advice from his previous bad experience with CheapOair.

    I planned my trip and booked these tickets 3 months in advance. A few weeks later I got an email saying the tickets I purchased were overbooked. They forced me to change the date so our vacation had to be planned again. I was okay so far with this because I had the time to re-organize our trip. Then I realized we are stuck with CheapOair. Tickets were not refundable, and they only gave me two optional dates to pick from. (That did not sound right.) Two days ago, we arrived to Miami international airport very excited to take finally some time off from work. After a long wait in the line we reached the check-in point. When we were doing the check-in the attendant looked confused. He said, "I need to talk to the manager, something is wrong with your tickets."

    After a few stressful minutes the attendant came to us and he said, "You need to go to another desk. Your tickets were for yesterday, you missed your flight." At this point I was frustrated, angry, upset, disappointing my family, a horrible mix of feelings. I couldn't believe this was happening to us. I was getting ridiculously upset that not even my wife would recognize me. I pulled all the emails from CheapOair requesting the change of itinerary and the email that confirmed. I was also told by the airline employees, "This is what happens when you buy cheap tickets from these website." To me they weren't that much cheaper. I was getting ready to pay for new tickets for my entire family in order to give them the vacations they deserve.

    The airline manager (Air Europa) was extremely helpful and she finally put us in the same flight I booked and was "confirmed" according to CheapOair. The end of the story. My family had the check-in vouchers but we had only 30 minutes to get to the airplane. With a 7 month baby and all the extra luggage wasn't easy thing to do. We finally reached the gate on time, but I don't think after working so hard a flying experience has to be like ours. We were all stressed out, we got mad at each other because running not fast enough. The marathon to the gate and passing all the security points and long lanes was the beginning of our trip. I hope our experience of booking through CheapOair help others to make a smart decision at the time of buying tickets.

    My advice, check this website to check their prices they offer. Once you have the itinerary they offer contact the airline and book directly through them. You will get better flight tickets (more flexibility) this way and you will be treated much better, and you will get better seats for sure. And in many cases the cost is the same. Good luck and please post your experience so we create awareness of experiences like mine or others.

    The customer service agent named Grayson was not the ideal customer service agent. I called in to confirm that my flight was booked, which it was. Then I booked my one-way return flight and confirmed for the 8th of August. He asked me if I was on my vacation now and I said, no. With him asking that question led me to understand that he must be confused or misunderstood what I said. I reaffirmed the booking data and he has a very strong Middle-Eastern accent that was very difficult to understand over the phone. I told him to book my flight for the 8th. He ended up booking my flight for the 18th. I noticed that he booked my flight date incorrectly on the confirmation email that he sent to me. I called back to get my flight changed and they said that I would have to pay an additional $90 for another flight when it was his error in the first place. I will not conduct business with a company that does not hold themselves accountable for their mistakes.

    I am very not pleased with the service provided and the lack of customer relation you provided. On July 25th 2015, my other flight was cancelled for my family due to a typhoon, so I was looking for another flight at different website. Mind you, I was stuck in the airport, with limited internet and roaming with spotty reception in a foreign country. I was about book, and when the booking was almost through the internet went out. I phoned the 1-800 number but long wait time and line cut off. As I was in the airport with no flight out and family, I soon turned to other matter to secure rooms for the night. Now after 2 exhausting day stuck in Japan, and managing to get back to Hong Kong, with internet access, I am surprised that booking went through but the booking was on Dec 24! I immediately called CheapOair July 30 when I saw the email, but again cannot get through, so I tried the live chat.

    Virgie was the 1st helper, and Kelton was the next one after Virgie's chat cut off. So basically I was told if I could call within 4 hours, everything could be cancelled. Good luck in a typhoon storm with limited calling and internet, and please see other review to see the complaints about wait time and call being cut off. So I understand the full ticket cannot be refunded, fine. But the fee of 300 USD per Virgie is an outrage. I did try and do everything, but how could I call or know when internet is down, and my phone line keeps cut off/long phone wait in a foreign country during a typhoon.

    Kelton said in the 2nd call said 250 USD when I told him the same thing. I have showed them that other complaints on website resulted that the fee being waived. That is why I am writing this to you. From reading all the poor online review, it has just compounded my dissatisfaction with your company and the few calls/chat that I have experienced. The other agent in black and white said the fee can be waived, and I do have reasons beyond my control. I can provide proof my original flight was cancelled by a typhoon. All I am asking is to be treated like the person in the other complaints board be treated. I asked the fee be waived/or at least lowered like the other customer.

    I purchase flights always with Spirit airlines 4 times a year for my mother-in- law to visit from Chicago to here in New Orleans. This time July 17, 2015, I decided to try to get one cheaper since I buy so often and I went with CheapOair, and the name is exactly as it is. I should have known better, they are cheap! Well, I purchased her round trip ticket for $116 and the night before the flight last night July 29, 2015 she went online to check in early and print her boarding pass and the site told her she had a purchased ticket but had not purchased a seat. She called and asked me what was going on, I was clueless because I KNOW WHEN YOU BUY A PLANE TICKET IT NORMALLY COMES WITH A SEAT. SHE IS IN HER MID 50s, is she suppose to stand up and hold on like a Mac military flight? Or sit in the restroom, I didn't understand.

    So I called and asked would you please explain how is it I purchased a round trip ticket without a seat. They said we are allowed to buy the ticket but not a seat. I still didn't understand so when my mother-in-law got to the airport this morning she not only had to pay $100 for her 1 bag and 1 carry on but also to pay for a seat. I will NEVER purchase anything with CheapOair again. I travel a lot and so does she. It was my 1st and last time with this company ever!

    Hidden fees I expect, but a plane ticket with no seat (lmao) that is a good one. Why are you even in business if you can't sell or reserve a seat?? What you do is not good for customer service! I am attaching her Itinerary. Nowhere on all of the sheets does it say you have not purchased a seat. If you find it, please let me know because it's not even in fine print!! You find out when you get to the counter to depart.

    I purchased tickets through CheapOair for 6 return flights from East Midlands Airport to Alicante. Everything was fine, or that's what I thought until 30 mins after everything had gone through I received an e-mail from CheapOair to contact them urgently as there was an issue with my outward bound tickets. When I called them I was told that there had been a problem with my payment and my return flights had been booked, but my outbound flights had not as my bank had stopped the payment thinking it may be fraudulent. And if I wanted to try again they could get them but the price now was £94 per flight - only when I asked was I told that the original price per flight had been £40.

    After much haggling (approximately 40 mins) and a "special special" discount I was finally offered the flights for £64 - still £134 more than I was originally quoted, and continually being asked by a really condescending operator if I knew how Airline Companies worked. What made it even worse was while I was on the phone with CheapOair I MANAGED TO BOOK THE SAME FLIGHTS FOR £40 WITH ANOTHER BROKER. Then cap it all off. I checked with my bank and no payments stopped so they hadn't even tried to book the flights.

    Yes, this is a long story. The short story is that I will not use CheapOair to book tickets again and I will not recommend them to anyone else, not even an enemy.

    I had started by looking online to make a booking from Boise, Idaho to San Francisco International Airport to catch a flight back to New Zealand where I live. Online I could not see a way to add my two pieces of checked baggage. I called CheapOair and was assured by the agent, Koby, that my baggage would be right there with me and also told me it would cost $25 per bag. I agreed to the booking at a price of USD 225.25. When I checked the itinerary and e-ticket the next morning, there was no mention of the two piece of luggage. I called the CheapOair number and was put on hold. After about ten minutes I hung up and tried another of their numbers.

    Once I got an agent and explained things, he told me I had to call the airline to add the two bags. I asked to talk to his supervisor because I was starting to be really upset. I was put on hold for several minutes and when the agent came back on the line he said he had talked to the supervisor and was told I had to call the airline to add the bags. I insisted on talking to the supervisor and was told it would be 15 minutes before the supervisor could take my call. I said I would wait. I was put on hold and a little over 15 minutes later the line went dead. Yes, I called Alaska Airlines and was told I can't add the bags until check-in. So the bags that I was told were included in the flight I paid $225.25 for will now cost me another $50--IF I can get them on the flight at all. Thank you so much, CheapOair!

    Thought flights were confirmed with my purchasing of particular seats, but then the flights were changed. I wasn't looking at the e-mails sent to me because I didn't want to waste my time with commercials, so I didn't bother to open them, but I did file them with my other flight information. Then I wanted to recheck my plans for the upcoming trip and discovered that the flights were all changed for dates that would not allow me to go to my seminar. I should have looked at things more carefully when booking I guess, but after purchasing a seat... didn't realize that things would change.

    Anyway, I was very upset, and was told I would be charge $200.00 for changing my flight back to what I had requested besides having to pay extra for the flight difference. This just threw fuel on the flames. I was ready to explode. The supervisor that helped me, unsure what his name was, but he listened to my dilemma and was able to waive the $200.00 charge. I did pay extra for the flight, but that was understandable. Due to his kindness I will definitely use CheapOair again in the future. Had he not worked with me, I would never have flown with this group again.

    I HATE this company. I had to move a flight I booked through Cheapo. My original flight credit was 280.32. I went to use my credit on a flight listed at 209. Understanding I had to pay the flight change fee from American (200), I went to use the credit. Despite the flight being cheaper, Cheapo attempted to charge me 75 and then 50 dollars because the flight was not the same cost. When I located a 280 dollar flight, I was told that flight could not be purchased. I told the woman I wanted to use the credit and never use this company again, but I would not pay more for a flight I had already purchased. I asked for a supervisor and was told none were available and I had to call back. I told the woman to get a supervisor and that was unacceptable and got hung up on. Additionally, to secure the credit of this flight back in April, I took an hour and 15 minutes. Seriously, they're terrible.

    After booking flights online I needed to get confirmation of the booked flights and was passed from agent to agent, spending a total of two and a half hours struggling to get the matter resolved. No one seems to care or want to deal with it and was simply just passing the matter on to their next colleague. Their request to please hold for two to three min resulted in being put on hold for an average of 20 min at a time only to have to repeat the reason for my call and all the information again. Twice I had to redial and start the whole process again as the line went dead, once after approximately an hour on the phone and the fourth person finally decided that my query warrant speaking to a supervisor.

    The next person I reached did manage to confirm the flights however to get the card payment processed took another approximately 45 min. He then tried to get me to book hold baggage for our return flight for £13 more per baggage item than I can book directly with the airline (luckily I quickly checked). Following that he 'guaranteed' me that as an agent he can get the baggage rate cheaper for our outbound flight which is with an airline charging a high amount. After being put on hold for another '3-4 mins' (21 mins in real time!) to check with his supervisor he had to acknowledge he couldn't. After all this and the disastrous service he offered me £6 discount! I am waiting for a copy of my phone record and phone bill to present to the company.

He then called the customer service for help because he couldn't make the changes himself. He was asked to spell any letters of his first names and I wonder WHY the agent put MR after the first names and before the last names that is hence therefore: Raphael... MR **.

    This company is only getting 1 star because a minimum of 1 is required. I have never had issues with CheapOair and this most recent situation has really angered me and I will not purchase through them again. As a Father's Day Gift we bought a ticket for my Father-in-law to go to Mexico. We had a family emergency and needed to push back the departure date. I called customer service and they changed the date but of course we had to pay a "small fee" of $399 with the already $620 ticket we purchased. The ticket was fine, or so we thought. We went to the airport the day of his flight and were told he could not board because they had his name wrong in the system. I called customer service and spoke with a man and explained the situation.

    He quickly insinuated that the mistake was my own and that I had typed the wrong name online when purchased. I proceeded to explain to him that the flight was booked over the phone and that I gave all the correct info because the woman who helped me had a hard time spelling out last name although I repeated it about 5 times. He told me he would fix it on the PNR and was getting ready to hang up so quickly I mentioned that he never even asked what the correct last name was. He grew quiet and replied with "Oh yes. What is it?" I said the last name and asked if he needed spelling and he replied no that he had it there.

    Interesting given the fact they had it wrong on the ticket. He told me all was fixed and when we told the airline attendant she said that there was no way they fixed it because those changes can only be made through the direct airline. In the end we called airline customer service and CheapOair and had no other option but to purchase a new full priced ticket so my father in law could board. That is $1,800 that is now gone from our pockets. Of course there is no refund from CheapOair. Never purchasing through them again!

    Lynn, very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with the airline making changes to your flights. As a a travel agency we don't have any control over the changes in operations, and nor do we get to decide which flights you take. Many times we have to wait for the airline to contact us with other options, so we are often at their mercy, therefore it can cause delays in a resolution. I do see that you did call us several times,due to you didn't like the new options, so we worked on those, later called and didn't agree with those options. Later called again when we did advise please give us 2-3 days to get the flights confirmed, but it appears you had other concerns each time you called. The agents tried very hard to keep up with the changes, and your disliking of the flights, so yes there was alot of back and forth. You have an extensive itinerary with 3 stops starting in Miami, houston, narita, singapore, so with an itin. like that, there's not many options. But the schedule change department is working in your best interest.

    I booked a flight to China. We had appointments arranged with suppliers. CheapOair accepted the booking, sent an email advising that tickets had or were being issued. 2 Hours later no tickets. After a number of unproductive and frustrating phone calls we were advised that the admin people were very busy but that the flights were booked and issue of the tickets was imminent. We were repeatedly assured that there was no issue and the flights were booked. Some 6 hours after the flights were supposedly booked we received an email to say that flights at the agreed price were no longer available.

    We could however pay an additional amount (some $400) and they could find flights. Because CheapOair had shot their credibility we decided to change our business to another agent. I am giving Elcheapoair the benefit of the doubt and assuming that it was incompetence that they failed to actually book the fares as they had advised. There remains however a real possibility that this a sophisticated and deliberate scam to gouge higher fares from anyone who uses their services. Be really careful when using ElCheapOair.

We are leaving a day later, coming back a day earlier as there were no other flights available that we had originally schedule. So yea, I'm not to happy...

    After booking my flight, my husband realized it was a 6-hour flight. He has had sinus problems lately and feared that a flight more than 3.5 hours would be unbearable. I called and Pali was very helpful in finding flights that got me to my destination that were shorter in length. She was patient while I asked my husband about the times, and she even did her best to find me the cheapest flight to my destination. She was very professional, efficient, but helpful and understanding.

On second call, they took details and just disconnected without saying anything. They took my cell number and other details but I didn't get any call back.

    I have been dealing with the same booking issue for almost a year. A friend of mine was not able to use her $311 ticket I got for her on CheapOair, so they issued a credit for her, under all of my information. Over the past year, I have tried to use her credit for her 3 times. 2 times I found cheaper tickets on different sites, the last time was today. Today I was told she cannot use the credit because it has expired. Even though I have records of the transactions, the rep argued with me about the facts of how much they've charged and the dates that I purchased everything. Very unpleasant experience. Will never use this company again! Here's a good hint - use this site to compare for the cheapest tickets, then go to that airline's website and you will get an even better deal!

    I bought a plane ticket through their site a couple of days ago. Paid several hundred extra to get Premium Economy over Coach, as it's a 10 hour flight. Immediately received a confirmation email with "Premium Economy" under the detail information. Last night, I'm getting an email from them, stating that I'm all good and booked in COACH CLASS. I was going to sleep so I wrote them an email instead of calling. Today, no response so I contacted them via phone and chat, asking what's going on. The online customer representative stated that Premium Economy was not available, so I asked why I wasn't warned or refunded the difference before they just changed my product for something cheaper without a word, and asked how I could cancel it. The guy simply stopped responding.

    Called them and they are saying that I paid the price for coach, which is laughable because the price for coach is several hundred dollars cheaper everywhere, including their own site, as we speak and as I'm writing this (have screen grabs). Also, as I'm writing this, they have Premium Economy on their site with the price I paid, for the same flight, while it's supposedly not available. My wife was able to reach some supervisor who says that there is nothing they can do. They are discussing a full refund, which will take a month to complete. I am definitely not trusting this company with my money for a month, after which they will again not know what I'm talking about, after I call about my promised refund.

    Not even mentioning the fact that I'm now without a ticket for a very important trip (because I sure as hell am not going coach for the price I paid when it's still available everywhere for hundreds cheaper). This is insane and they have another thing coming if they think they can screw someone over like this and carry on. I will report them everywhere and will involve an attorney if I must. I will get any help I can get because they sure are not interested in anything but screwing me over.

    I made airline reservations for a trip from Nanjing, China to Macau, China. The day of my reservation, I get to the airport and the clerk tells me that I have train reservations and not airline reservations. Shocked, I told the guy that I was making airline reservations and had no clue about any train. Why would I be at an airport for a train trip? There was nothing they could do. So, instead of an 8 hour airplane trip to the destination, it took me two days by train with various connections and hotel stays. Since I am in China, and I do not have abilities to make international calls on my Chinese phone, I had no way to contact CheapOair to fix the problem. And, when I finally did get to talk with someone via internet, they played the ping pong game of trying to send me to China Eastern to get this resolved. So, basically CheapOair stole $500 USD from me for a service I did not get to use and refuses to refund or issue a credit to me.

    If you look at the confirmation, it looks as if you are making an airline reservation. Only once does it say something about a train transfer. And that is listed with China Eastern with a airline confirmation number. China Eastern does not do train trips. They are an airline. CheapOair provided no assistance, contacting them from outside the USA is nearly impossible, and they stole $500 from me. Stay clear of these people if you are traveling outside of the USA.

Long story short a few days later I tried to book again only to realize that there had been a booking but because it went to junk mail, I was unaware. I wanted to book an alternate date because I had assumed there was no booking. I had to fight and fight to get them to allow a change without a cancellation fee. They charged me 15 pounds more in any event. They are a despicable company. I and my husband have dealt with them in Toronto and they try and gouge you if for any reason you have to change.

    Kept changing my itinerary on my BWI-AKL flight. That is not my complaint since it may well have been the airline that made the changes. They said I needed to accept the change or lose the cost of my plane tickets. They suggested new itineraries which I accepted and they said they would confirm the changes in 24-48 hours. I waited several days and never heard back. I had to call back and wait about 20 minutes while they blasted insufferable "music" in my ear. Then they came up with an excuse about the airline not getting back to them. I called the airline and they said they had never heard anything about the new itinerary but that the connection time was too short.

    I was booking a flight for my brother to come visit me, and when I put in his birth date (he is 14 years old) the website stated that travelers over the age of 12 were required to be booked as an adult (no big deal, right). But when I reviewed the airlines policy on unaccompanied minors, the airlines website stated that anyone under the age of 16 had to pay a fee for traveling alone, along with other restrictions that were not listed on CheapOair when I input his age and birth date. The airline now wants to charge me a $150 one way for an unaccompanied minor fee (which was not clearly stated on their website when I typed in his age and birth date) and when I called to ask for a refund, or a change of airlines (a transfer) they kept repeating that I was to blame for making a reservation online and not over the phone "as the website clearly states" (it doesn't).

    They offered to cancel my flight and "ask the airline to refund your ticket". So basically, if I never bothered to check the actual airlines policy on what a minor needs to bring to verify identity to board the plane, he would have been denied access and stuck at an airport 4 hours from his home. And they have done nothing to resolve the issue other than tell me I might get a cancellation or no-show charge. Extremely unhappy and dissatisfied with their customer service, and the way things were (not) handled. Do not book with them, they will trap you into buying a ticket and nickel and dime you to death.

    I was trying to book a flight for 5 persons from Cleveland to Lebanon and since I had to book on short notice, I was limited on my choices so I contacted Cheapoair to get good deals. I was initially given a price of $8000 and then I contacted Delta directly. I got a deal for $5000. So I called Cheapoair and cancelled my flight within 4 hrs after booking and they said the amount will be blocked for 8 to 14 days. After 5 min a Cheapoair agent called me and said "we'll get you the same itinerary we offered you for $5800" which I agreed because I had my credit card locked. So they said "we'll send you a confirmation within 2-3 hrs after this." It took 24 hrs to get the confirmation, meanwhile I'm calling and staying on hold for 1 hour each time and each agent tells me "we'll fix this, we'll get that done, we'll call you back in 2-3 hrs" etc...

    Finally when they booked the tickets they had the names wrong which we fixed then they send tickets booked for 3 persons with 2 names listed twice. Basically it took me 48 hrs to book a flight. Horrible experience. Staying on hold for hours, calls disconnect without anybody getting back to you, wrong names on ticket. Finally asked to talk to manager or supervisor and they put me on hold for 1 hour. My husband called on another line and we were not able to reach or talk to any supervisor. Horrible experience.

    My overall experience with CheapOair was good. I was disappointed when we had a emergency at home and had to reschedule are return ticket. Our penalty was more than the original price and had no choice but to accept.

    The help desk was fast but very much more expensive than what I had already booked online! I had everything booked, credit card entered and hadn't received a email with schedule, so I called you. The Operator stated that sale was over when I just finished booking it! Just confused!? I don't think I will do this again because I can't trust your prices. If you could please resend my schedule to **. Thank you.

    I booked my daughter's roundtrip tickets SFO-MAD-SFO through www.cheapoair.com. When I booked the tickets, I provided my daughter's birthdate which is 12/14/00. She was able to make her trip SFO-MAD on June 21, 2015 because there were some other older teammates on the same flights. But she was told at the airport that on her way back, she would not be allowed to travel because there will not be other older teammates on the same flights.

    We have been calling both AA and www.cheapoair.com to resolve this issue. AA told us that because of her age, AA would have never issued her the tickets. If she wants to come back, we would have to pay about $1,000 to change the flight from Madrid to Chicago O'Hare to an AA flight because current flight is an AA code-share flight operated by Iberia and purchase Unaccompanied Minor Service which will cost close to $1,000 together. We called www.cheapoair.com, they told us that AA was made fully aware of her age and still sold her the ticket and www.cheapoair.com is not responsible for this. AA should be responsible to resolve this.

    We are stuck in between but need our daughter back. Right now, she's not even allow to get on the return flight back to the States. CheapOair should have never allow this to go through, not only we couldn't even pay $150 for the unaccompanied minor service through American Airline, she couldn't even travel unless we change her flight to AA operated solely flight which will cost almost 850 US dollars . As you can see from the receipt I provided, I had to call AA to change her flight with $850 we never suppose to pay in the first place. The design flaw on the website has caused us so much money, it shouldn't sold the ticket to us. Terrible customer service as well.

    I was on CheapOair website trying to book my flight when the cable repairman disconnected my internet. So, I called customer service (800) number. The same flight I was looking at was 'more money' through the CheapOair agent. I asked why and I was told that the internet had not 'updated' the new price yet. I bought the tickets with the agent. The next day, I went back online and the tickets were again at the lower price. I was very confused why I had to pay more when I talked to a CheapOair agent. I did not cancel and make new reservations though because the website told me both days that there were only 4 seats left (although I had booked 2 the day before). I just thought it was unusual for two (2) prices to be quoted by website/agent!

    This CheapOair is a fraud and cheater online air ticket selling company. I booked my ticket with this website and I was not allowed to board the flight from Delhi to Montreal with two layovers Frankfurt and Paris respectively. They have some inside pct with airlines and they don't provide you full information in the valid right tickets to travel. When contacted their customer service they finished chat intermittently. My PNR for the ticket was **. This is just to inform you that I am a valid customer who got cheated by this company. I would suggest you spend some more money for your flight but stay away from this website. I had discussion with Lufthansa and they told me that CheapOair has done wrong by not informing about the facts for travel. (documents). Being a lay man, we can only understand as much as we have been told but these people are looting us by using this weakness of ours.

    My partner booked two tickets to Mexico for a trip 3 months from now. He used Cheapoair. The booking included an incorrect return date which he immediately caught and called Cheapo to correct the online mistake that had just been made 3 minutes before. The Agent said it would cost $50 per ticket to correct. When we finally agreed to the price hike the Agent said "Oh and there has just been a fare rate increase of an additional $80". By then I was on the airline's webpage as I talked to the agent and could see that there was no fare hike, there were seats available on the flight and the airline had a 24 hour cancellation policy. I confronted the agent and he said that he could waive the $80 by using his promo code. I told him to cancel the whole booking. He said he would but it would take four days.

    We missed our flight and CheapOair.com wanted to charge us $1500 to change our tickets we only paid $978 for. They would not help us out and wanted to screw us over. We called Alaska airlines and they charged us $25 a person to change the tickets and helped us with no problems at all.

    I was going to leave San Francisco and fly to Sao Paulo in Brazil. I had booked a flight with CheapOair more than 1 month in advance that was going to have a connection in Toronto. When I went to do my check-in I discovered that I needed a visa that I didn't have to get into Canada. After some discussion I ended up losing my flight. But this was my fault. I should have searched more about needing a visa before this day. The problem with CheapOair comes next.

    I called CheapOair to see what I could do. Now my stress begun because ALMOST every time I called them, I had to wait at least 2 minutes of annoying music until I could reach an attendant, and about HALF of the times the dial was missed (before or during talking with an attendant). Now, the times when I reached an attendant, somethings happened: the first attendant was talking so low and in low energy (keep in mind I was at an airport and was not so easy to hear low voices in my phone), it seemed he was dying and would rather not be working. I had to end the call and try again.

    Next, when I reached attendants that were helpful and I was in the middle of the call, the dial was missed (happened twice). When I tried getting back to them (I knew their names), I was attended by other attendants and they didn't even knew the names of their work colleagues and weren't able to transfer my call. The fourth time I reached an attendant, I was attended by a woman with heavy Asian accent. I have absolutely nothing against Asian accents, but since English is not my first language and I was in a loud airport, I had a very hard time understanding everything she said. Still I had no choice and proceed to obtain her help.

    I learned that I had completely lost my flight and money, even though I had purchased travel insurance with them prior. The only thing CheapOair could do was to book me a new flight and I would have to pay the full price again. No other options. She only offered me two options, both were more than two times more expensive than the flight I had lost (this was understandable since I was purchasing a same-day flight) and I would have to wait about 10 hours in the airport. I needed to fly that day so I had to accept my fate and buy another flight. Since I'm from Brazil, the only way I could pay was to use an international credit card. I gave her my card info and then was told that I had to wait for them to verify the card info.

    They wanted to call my bank in Brazil and check with them which gave me a lot of work since THEY MADE ME call my bank first and find someone that could speak English with them. After I found and passed the information to them, I waited about 2 hours for the woman to call me back (I had no way to call them since I couldn't reach her using CheapOair's number and nobody knew how to transfer me to her). She told me the card had been accepted and in under 1 hour my flight info would be e-mailed to me.

    I thought that my nightmare was finally over and I could relax and wait for my flight. After almost 1 hour, I received an automatic call in my phone saying that my card had been rejected. I tried calling CheapOair about 10 times, but again, infinite minutes waiting with annoying music and missed calls. It was completely impossible to talk with an attendant this time. I decided to give up on CheapOair and since I knew my credit card had not been charged, I decided to buy another flight directly with an airline company.

    The purchase directly with the airline company was extremely simple and easy, AND was almost $1,000 CHEAPER than the flight CheapOair had offered me earlier! I couldn't believe it! I took this new flight on that same day and finally made it home. I think I never had a more stressful and negative experience with a company in my life than the one I had with CheapOair. I wish that no one ever has to go through such a nightmare as I did. In the end, the solution was simple and SO much cheaper: to just buy from the airline company and ignore CheapOair.

    I bought 2 tickets through CheapOair.com one for me and my mother. They, for some reason, added a name to my mother's first name. I asked them to correct it, obviously they refused, asked me to talk to AA before or he had to charge me a fee. I called AA, and they informed me that since it was bought through a third party they couldn't make any changes, but that it shouldn't be a problem to change since it was a minor change. So I called back CheapOair.com and now there was no fee. I would have to buy a whole new ticket. I know AA accepts changes for first name. It is considered a minor change, but they lied and tried to convince me that AA accepted no such changes. PS: They also have hidden charges. It is not mentioned in the receipt but they charge you 18 $ for their horrible services.
